edit - almost forgot to meantion the bike tube & duct tape technique, but someone's already beaten me to it. It is a good idea!

Answer 2

If you don't want to buy a chainstay protector you can always make your own.

I wrap a piece of inner tube around the chainstay and duct tape it in place.  Works great and costs nothing.

Hope this helps.
