Default Chain rubs on swing arm

I noticed on the new BMX mini and aslo on the eton 50 the chain will rub lightly on the swing arm.I was thinking of taking a peice of 1 inch pvc plastic and splitting it.Then lay it over the rub area and put a hose clamp around it near the end. Anyone ever make soemthing like this?.

Sound like a good idea..Our Eton viper 90 came with a rubber piece on the swingarm to prevent the chain from wearing on the metal..It only touches when the suspension is totally unloaded so once you sit on the bike it doesn't touch anymore.

My kids are small and dont have enough **** to make the suspension drop down for chain space. The eton has a thin rubber glued on,but you know the chain will wear right through.I,m going to get a peice of plastic pipe and fashion a guard..
