This one is always divisive. Some people think they’re ugly and useless, others think they’re good to keep on to protect your spokes in the worst case scenario.

I just got back from the garage from cutting mine off (and unfortunately it wasn’t a low quality/thin one so it took forever). I’m not against them per se but after about 1200km of riding, I noticed that it started to rattle and it was annoying me.

What do you guys/gals/pals think of them?

    On my folding bike, I kept them on because “they serve a purpose”, but then realized that they were not allowing my wheels to turn freely no matter how they were adjusted.

    Once I removed them, my wheels now spin forever. LOL

    If they weren’t causing trouble, I would have just left them on.

    Edit: Ignore that I’m making it sound like there are two dork disks on my bike… it was on one wheel (rear) and only there was only one! LOL
