A wear indicator, makes a noise on your tyre if your pads get too low.

The screw is opposite of the direction of rotation so there is no safety concern if you happened to leave it out and were riding normally. If you do squeeze the brake while pushing the bike backwards or moving it around the brake pad could pop out of the pad holder causing a big issue if you don’t notice before riding.

Tire guides are just that. When remounting the wheel, the tire guide provides a wider opening to “guide” your tire (wheel) back up between the brake pads.

The soft screw provides a replaceable wear point.

Note older wire style tire guides.
