It's like a plastic spoke protector disc, but even more distracting

I think they use them on the supercross motorbikes, on the front. Not sure if mandatory, though, and a lot less "bump passing" than in supercross..

Didn't you hear Sinyard? He says we'll all be on discs within 2 years. Bow down to your betters.

I'm going to go into creating bespoked disc guards. Anodizing, fillet, custom shaped cooling holes, sharpening etc... You watch, it will be the new emerging custom "makers" genre.

Better be like that because there's a lot of high end bikes that won be used and let go for the right price.

Honestly... this is getting stupidly ridiculous, and who cares who sinyard has to say? the only thing i ever got from him was a pair of shoes that did not fit me besides they sucked, and even more after the sues to honest people, I have no intention to follow him and his predictions.

imagine all of the whiny pros who will be tattling on those who do not have these protectors. Clever of Tune to jump on the idea.


I think I read the Mike Synard (sic) said that in two years all road bikes will have discs and the entire pro cycling world will be on them. Rather a bold prediction, but hey he makes the decisions on what to sell for his brand so I guess he does have some clout.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just let me know when we get to electronic braking and that's when I'll draw the line.

Just one more thing to slow down wheel changes.
