...the number one E-bike has a "spoke protector" fitted behind the rear cassette (designed to stop any derailleur override depositing the chain into the bottom of the spokes). I understand that our 'merkin cousins call it a Dork Disk.
Anyway, from fairly early in ownership, it has been cracking up, and looks pretty unsightly (though I suspect it would probably just about function).
I could probably remove it by nibbling it away, but I have suffered in the past (other bikes admittedly) with the chain overriding the top cog, so I'd prefer to replace it.
That requires removal of the rear cassette, involving the use of a chain-whip and a cassette remover..........
....so, having found both on eBay for £2.49, I've ordered them. Chinese, of course.
This is going to go well, isn't it......
