Does anyone know what this is?

This part came with my @KwikFold Xite 3. Where does it go. I cannot see this fitted to any of the Xite 3 bike photos i’ve seen on their website. It looks like it has to be fitted with two cable ties. I am guessing it’s a chain guard?

Thanks @Woosh but it’s much smaller than this orange part and won’t fit like this?

Is it the piece located on the chain stay under the top part of chain?

They haven’t been on any of the sites for weeks. Perhaps they are too busy shipping out bikes this lovely weather.

Exactly as i thought but i wanted to be sure. As i said, no photos show it fitted BUT the chain does rub on the frame in top gear and makes a rattling sound.
Ah YES, i see it now in this pic. But only just about!

I had one on my old 'Universal' pedal cycle in the 90s.
It is to protect the bottom chain stay in top gear, mine was glued on.

They came out in the mid 80s I know I’ve had a good few of them

It originally was a part made by shimano and was called a shark fin for obvious reasons
It’s as all ready said a chainstay protector nothing more nothing less
The shark fin piece was designed to stop the chain getting jammed up between the chainstay and the tyre
It used to be held on with double side sticky pad and 2 cable ties each end hence the holes and channel each end
Hope this helps
