If you tend to fling lube all over the place when you’re giving your bike some TLC or are worried about disc brakes getting damaged in transit, Muc-Off have just the thing for you… a neoprene disc brake cover that wraps around the rotors with Velcro to keep ’em safe and sound.

With more of us switching to disc brakes, it’s common knowledge that pads and rotors don’t really mix with lubricants or protective sprays, so Muc-Off went about creating a solution. They fit any size of disc brake on any type of bike, and Muc-Off say they will help your brakes to “maintain power and maximum performance”. To attach them, you put the base plate (the back of it) over the hub axle by pulling it apart at the join and pushing it round, then starting at the caliper, apply the neoprene cover over the top. We found it fitted more neatly around the front brake, with the chainstay getting in the way a bit at the rear.

We found an alternative use…
After using you can simply rinse both parts of the cover with water, and Muc-Off helpfully remind us not to ride with them attached. A set of two will cost you £22.50, and they’re available to buy on Muc-Off’s website now…

WTF? Surely if mountain
WTF? Surely if mountain bikers have lasted this long cleaning the filth they get every time they ride road cyclists don’t need to go pissing £22 away on a bit of cloth?
Is this some sort of odd joke
Is this some sort of odd joke? This is why mountain bikers laugh at us roadies.
I have discs on my road bike, the only disc that needs protecting during transportation is the front one when I take the wheel off – that’s what a bit of foam is for…
As for cleaning, yeah, occasionally I throw a clean rag over the discs when I’m spraying stuff over my bike.

If you’re daft enough to use
If you’re daft enough to use any kind of spray lube on your bike, you’re probably daft enough to buy these.

I just wish they’d make some of these that can go over your tyres – I’m forever cleaning bits of mud etc. from my tyres.
