Butterbean Posted February 7, 2014 Share It only broke because you left it on. It actually did you a favour. Take it off, and be happy you don't look like a noob anymore! kvdp, MeridaHFS, MAVERICK 13 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braailegend Posted February 7, 2014 Share Leave it off, bigger chance of derailleur pulling into spokes or your contraption cause to damage, haha. No one rides with it, even downhill guys don't have it on their bikes... And if it goes in there, there would rarely be any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockCoach Posted February 8, 2014 Share Can't remember when last my chain went into the spokes. Probably when I was on a Hyper Special in primary school 25+ years ago. If the limits are set correctly then it's just about impossible for the chain to hop off the top ofthe cassette. Ja, just toss the thing. If it was a necessary item it would be made out of something more meaningful than cheap plastic. And likely come in a range of cutout shapes and anodised colours.

RockCoach Posted February 8, 2014 Share And an all new 29er specific version... Didn't think about that. The angle of the spokes on the larger wheel will be different. Honestly, it's like the plastic covering on your new cellphone's LCD or plastic over a new cars seats. Yes, you can leave it on but you really shouldn't.
