- Its a road bike, you dont need to worry about chain slap. You use it on paved roads and pedal constantly- there should be very few times where the chain is slack enough to slap, especially since the road will be smooth.
- Its a titanium frame that isnt painted, you dont need to worry about chain slap.
- If you want something that isnt clear, then consider Nubaum cotton tape. It comes in a ton of colors. Personally though, I would go for no protection or clear protection.
