Leave it – it prevents inside drops on the rear cassette and protects the wheel if one does occur.

It’s a defining moment in a cyclists life.

It’s nicknamed the dork disk… Turn up a group ride with one đ

Craft knife. It’s not that hard, just cut through it.
They do actually serve a purpose though. I don’t like them, I had one break on an old bike mid ride and jam the freewheel, but they will stop your chain wrecking you spokes if the limit screw isn’t set right on the derailleur or you somehow shift off the end of the cassette another way.

If youâre asking this question you should remove it. I used some flower stem cutters (more heft than scissors) and cut it off. Took like 2 min.
You can also just remove the cassette and put it back on- a quick on and off job less than 10 min.

I had it for a few months, then I cut it because it was not properly fixed anymore and rubbing against the wheel.
Actually it saved me once, a few weeks after receiving my new bike, I fell and my fall messed with the derailleur. I continued to ride directly after the fall and the dork disc saved my spokes from chain damages when I changed gears.

Yes, cutting it is like getting circumcised.

If youâre confident in setting the low-limit screw of your rear derailleur, you can take it off. If you donât know what that means, have a trained mechanic set things up for you before removing it. Itâs there to prevent pretty catastrophic destruction of the rear wheel in the event that your chain gets chucked into the spokes while trying to shift into the largest cog. This is called âover-shiftingâ and can definitely result in some expensive repairs to your bike and body.
