so here comes out my inexperince again.....

 

that round plastic disc on your back wheel between your gears and spokes, does it serve any logically purpose or not. I've seen some bikes without it, and in my falls last weekend mine broke. Do i have to replace it or not?????

you dont really have to replace it. it is for badly adjusted bikes, as well as makro and game specials to prevent the rear deraileur from going into the spokes.

 

if your bike is well set-up, you dont need it

OMG....get it off ASAP! You cannot expect to get ANY respect if you're going to show up at an event with one of those things attached to your bike!

 

Just like reflectors! You HAVE removed all reflectors off your bike, eh?

It took me a while to figure out that it was way uncool to have those reflectors in my wheels. Seems a pity to take them off when I paid for them!LOL

Confused   If I take my reflectors away, my clothes will have holes in or nothing of the clothes will be left over, then I look like the holy rider. Cry
