Dust shields

Post by flyingbrick »

Pretty sure I've had a front disk crack on my GQ.

I've had a damn good look through the wheels but cannot see anything so need to take the dust shield off to access the inner face

Do you guys usually keep them in place or just leave them off? Surely mud and shit gets in behind it anyway at the end of the day?

Take them off and chuck them away, they only get bent and f@cked anyway.
