I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, because I can't remember what brand I had, but I had those removable things come off twice while riding. Ya know, those times when you go over a big bump, and you might not have the gears quite right, then the chain loses tension and starts bouncing all over the place -- that's when it happened.
I decided it's not worth it to take them off to clean
