Hi there
Has anyone fitted full mguards to a Langster. If so what make and where there any issues with rear wheel removal. I know Giant make guards for their Defy with cutouts around the brakes. Has anyone tried these. If not any good solutions.
Thank you

    On my fixed, the LBS fitted those 'safety brackets' that quick release the stays. SKS guards, with the front and rear on those plastic safety clips - you might need to buy a couple extra clips but they aren't expensive.

    As you tug out the rear wheel, the clips pop out and give you enough room to remove the wheel.

    TBH I was lucky to have the ones on the front recently, a branch flew up and jammed the front - fortunately the guard springed loose - I've never used them before...

    Thanks Fossyant. Thats just what I was afraid of. Will have a look at the SKS ones.
