The price is cheap

If it is Disk guard of other manufacturers, the dedicated Bracket is needed separately, and the price is not so bad It's a good idea to install the disk guard on the BottomFork Protector In this case, I installed the disk guard on BottomFork Protector Because of the cheap price, it is not so easy to make, but I could install it without any problem However, there is a place where the collar is short I thought I may have misapplied the color, but it's not so

No, not very good.

As an overall evaluation, we have no problems with the material of the plastic part.
However, there are a number of critical problems with the other aspects of the program, and we do not recommend it as a general comment.
・Screw
This screw is included as a new item because it is co-tightened with the clamp section, etc. However, the accuracy of this screw is so poor that it cannot be hand-tightened with a ScrewSingle Body.
After machining the Screw with Dice, it finally went in.
In addition to the problem with Screw Mountain, there are other parts with surface scratches and other concerns.
In addition, although an Instruction Manual is included, it does not explain which screws to use and where to use them, and the quantity of screw holes is not included, even though they are to be used for the co-tightening described below.:The diagram is such that 2pcBolt will be included.
It is better to confirm the actual match only as a reference for assembly.
・Disc Side
Cannot be installed without modification
The discCard is installed after the Fork bottomGuard is installed, but even with the BottomGuardSingle Body, the screws cannot be inserted due to interference and distortion of the large screws. However, the distortion remains, so it is necessary to hold the whole body down while installing the screws.
The Glasses Wrenchetc. tool with a handle will not fit due to the shape of the area around the screw hole.
In the meantime, there is some relief in this regard, as a thin meaty Box can fit in it.
The bottom guard and disk guard are fastened by a single screw on the inside of the clamp, but the accuracy is not good, so serviceability is also a problem.
Opposite side
There were no accuracy issues here.
One point of improvement is the replacement of the hexagonal screw that holds the Fork Guard in place with the included screw, but this screw pops out quite a bit.
Originally, the head height was designed to be lower than that of the plastic Guard to prevent damage to the head of the Screw in the event of a fall, etc. However, since the attached Screw is a bolt with a normal head, it sticks out about 8mm.
This condition will quickly ruin the Screw as it is the part that is most likely to be bumped during a fall.
I thought it would be better to find some good Screw and replace it. View detail
