Some bicycles come with a plastic disc slid between the largest cog of the cassette or freewheel and the spokes of the rear tire. Notably, those cyclists who go without spoke protectors do so by choice. But before you join them, you need to weigh the risks against the cost of a spoke guard. Should I Remove My Spoke Guard?

You can make your wheelchair as individual as you wish with exclusive spoke guards. Design Your Own Wheelchair Spoke Guards. There is space between the largest cog on a cassette and the spokes. But a well-maintained bike will not drop the chain there. // Photo by Markus Spiske Hardly a surprise, since people sometimes ask the employees to remove the “dork disc” before purchasing a bicycle.The small movement is enough to create friction between the spokes and the protector and turn the grit in-between into sandpaper eating the spokes slowly but persistently. Had I not adjusted the derailleur, the chain would have slowly eaten away my rear wheel. I say slowly because this short 50-meter climb was the only part of my commute necessitating the lowest gear. When brake pads are dirtied, they lose their efficiency, and they also make a lot of squeaky noises. These noises are irritating, and brakes with compromised efficiency can be catastrophic. Do You Need a Spoke Protector – Which is the Best One? In consequence, cyclists who want to preserve their pro appearance skip the dork disc. What Are The Downsides of a Spoke Protector Besides Poor Aesthetics Tip: If the spoke protector drops on a trip in the wilderness, and you don’t have the means to remove it, you can make holes in with a knife or a tool (e.g., the awl of a Swiss army knife) and tie it to the spokes with zip-ties. Are All Spoke Guards Ugly?

If a spoke protector breaks or detaches from the spokes, it can make the cassette or freewheel jam. This can result in irregular behavior of the rear derailleur and chain. If you wish to install a spoke guard, you may look at theSUNLITE Cassette Spoke Protector which is made of clear plastic and only weighs 4 ounces. For example, one of these benefits is that a spoke protector reduces contamination of the brake rotor and the brake pads by dirt from the chain and the cassette, The main reason bikes have a spoke guard is to keep the chain from getting into the spokes. All the same, it comes with a few additional benefits.Some people put on metal spoke protectors on their bicycles not for function but because they like the extra shininess and retro appearance.

More often than not, this accessory is found on cheaper bicycles with entry-level specifications. Hence why you never see it on TV during big cycling championships. Having the spoke guard on or not is solely a personal choice. All the same, before you go removing the protector, make sure you properly adjust your drive train.

Add some style and personality to your wheelchair

Since a spoke protector happens to be matter in this reality, it weighs something. That’s a problem because cyclists don’t like extra weight even if it amounts to 50-100 grams. 3. “Anti-pro” Looks Made from High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), the guards fit 22" and 24" wheels using a unique easy on/off clipping system, no nuts and bolts. 10 clips and 10 bands secure the guards to the spokes. One time when I’d just replaced my cranks, cassette, and chain, I heard non-tuned “guitar sounds” coming from my rear wheel during a short ascent that’d forced me to shift into the smallest gear.
