Rotor Guards??

Holy blast from the past.....anyone remember the THE rotor guards?

Just curious, how many times have you fixed your rotor? Perhaps it is just warping at the weak spot after getting warmed up.

that's what i immediately thought of as well.

let's throw some brush guards on the handlebars too for good measure.

Full length 1/8" aluminum skidplates are next, and full wrap barkbusters.

While we're at it, we can bring back the Sidi boots.

Lapierre had one on their DH920 rig a few years back. I would suggest going for polycarbonate and putting a bit of elbow grease in with the dremel/jigsaw/wet n dry sandpaper

How do you plan to mount it by the way?

it wasnt just their DH bikes. a lot of their full suspension bikes used that guard. i cant imagine it saving your rotor from a hard hit though but im sure it did a good enough job for brushing off glancing blows.

Why do this with rotors costing 12 buck at price point?

Probably so he can finish a ride without rubbing?

Use 6 inch rotor at the rear.

I never seem to bash my rotors like I do the derailleur... but have thought a couple times recently that hand guards would be SICK BRO.
