Wrong bike photo

Does not match the picture so good luck getting the correct part. Non-refundable, thanks to Revain for the useless plastic disk.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Yes ! it is round and works!

How do you rate the spoke guard?. yes it is round, yes it holds the chain from my spokes. Ask me how I know the damage it can cause. It's clear, so buy it if you're worried that something will happen on a long journey. like i did

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Nothing here

not the product as advertised

doesn't work for my hub - it's a shame it can't be returned either, although Revain customer service was kind enough to give me a full refund to grant. If you are unsure if the triangular shape will fit your knitting needles, do not order - this is not the seller's product shown in the picture with a typical square guard shape.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • It's hard to say that

Works where aftermarket safety devices don't

I changed gears on my road bike to make climbing easier. My old guard collapsed after about 10 years of use. I bought a guard that looked exactly like Shimano; however, it was about 1 mm thicker. This was enough to bind the gears on the spokes and prevent the freewheel from working. I switch to Shimano and everything works fine.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • So-so

Make sure you get what is described and pictured!

I can only rate this 1 star as I did not receive what was listed or pictured and have no idea if it works as intended. The item I received is non-refundable but Revain, a great company, took care of it. The salesman (Bicycle Addiction) was apparently clearing old stuff off the shelves and snatched up the first thing he saw that even looked like a product. So now I have a clear plastic Frisbee in sizes 6" and 7/16" for my dog. Aha! Just make sure you get what you get when you order from Bicycle…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Appearance

Cracked after only a few weeks

The previous spoke cover on my bike cracked where it connects the spokes so I replaced it with this one. The one that ripped was the original spoke guard that was on the bike when I bought it over 10 years ago. It's not surprising that it ripped after many miles of cycling and I suspect this material has become more brittle over the years. This replacement part appeared to be the same style/quality/size (hard plastic) as the original so I figured I wouldn't have a problem with it for a couple…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Zero
