Rear chain guard is it necessary?

Thanks for all your responses I must say the wheels look so much nicer without that dreadful piece of plastic.

Oops! I have lost the plot, I have responded to the wrong topic. I will leave it there to show what a complete wally I am. No offence meant to anyone called wally

Never mind it's a Sunday night with a bank holiday Monday I will let you off this time but I did have a bit of a panic thinking I needed to do something else once replacing a wheel.

The clips on mine broke after about 5 minutes use so it was duly removed and assigned to the rubbish bin (after I had jumped up and down on it a few times ). That was nearly a year ago and no ill effects yet.

You will not need it until you really need it.

The old fashioned pie plate? We used to fit them in the days before we had indexing in case of a miss change, I didn't think we needed them on a modern system.

The old fashioned pie plate?

I've also heard them referred to as "dork disks".
