Spoke protector?
I finally picked up my new Giant XTC2 and have spent the last hour removing stickers and reflectors. I'm considering removing the rear spoke protector as well. Is this a good idea? I know it can save your spokes if your derailleur get severly out of adjustment, but who has actually had their wheel saved by the spoke protector?

I say leave it, and if it smashes it smashes...its not going to hurt anything and it could save some spokes for you.

If you're a weight-weenie or give a crap about what the self-appointed cycle gods think take it off. If you could care less leave it on it's not hurting anything
