Description
A simple little doohickey that keeps your saddlebag off your straddle wire when running cantilever or centre pull brakes. Made by Nitto so it’s strong, nicely finished and neat looking!
Stainless steel wrapped in a plastic coating which prevents rust for a long, long time and doesn't scratch the frame.
The springy and flexible construction of the wire guard allows for an solid, tight fit.
Sometimes some saddlebags sit scarily close to brake wires, and although nothing horribly bad happens immediately if the wire rubs the bag, over time it'll abrade a hole in it, and nobody wants that. In some cases the wire won't hit the bag, but part of the brake does, and that's less than ideal.
30g Stainless Steel
