muggzy Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) So does anyone regret leaving the front brake shields off? Yeah I know, I can always just put them back on, but the trails I ride are loaded with loose sticks, rocks etc... and can get pretty mucky too. Seems that the brakes and wheels should be just fine without them but just b/c I don't see a real need for 'em doesn't mean I'm not underestimating their purpose. I don't want to find out 6 miles from home that I shoulda left 'em on. In case anyone's not sure what part I'm talking about, it's 18/9 in (bottom) this pic...

muggzy Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 ^ answerOf my 'answer', you mean I answered my own question, to didn't read further where it says I don't want to be 6 miles from home and find out my front brakes are gone. Sounds like I can leave em or from the other responses though. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertzy Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I've rode my Shee on trails for 8 years now...haven't regretted tossing them once. Useless pretty much lol. Plus if you upgrade to dual piston YFZ450 front calipers, they won't fit anymore anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler S Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 You never know you might get a rock stuck in your brake and it could lock up and pull the bike that way, seen it happen. If it was me I would leave them on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
