Re: Plastic spoke protectors...with or without?
*shudder* they were and still are the first mod I do to any bike, ditch the horrendous plastic ufo and wheel refelectors, and any self-respecting retrobiker would do the same.
The plastic disc is, I would say, for the "average Joe" cyclist who has neither the skills, the time, or the inclination to adjust the gears correctly, and in that case they probably are a useful feature, but they have no place on any half-decent MTB dammit!!
