RAILS!:
My gland 2 & 3s annoy the absolute shit out of me because I break so many zipties/shoelaces/whatevers holding them on.
...but the fact it's so easy to re-attach them and they don't EVER catch is what makes me continue to run them over other guards, especially metal types which need the whole wheel moving.
On the driveside my metal DSG has been MINT. could not be happier with that.
weedbix:
Never broke a shoelace (Mk2 and 3), I broke some zipties though. The included ones all broke. The first ones I found in my garage all broke, but to be fair they were at least as old as 1992. I tried some new, smaller ones, singularly and in pairs, broke them. Tried some beefy as shit ones, broke some of them. If I made real sure to avoid having any being above flush with the guard itself, they were fine
Laces are the way to go for several reasons I won't go into, but I used zipties for one side of both my wheels (due to having 4 of them) because it was proving too annoying to thread and dial the laces in like you can with one 1 gland per wheel
Never had a HTP Private Part/clone snag on me back in the day
Stoked:
Never had An issue with shoelaces on glands. Keen to try the merrit guard though

i'm glad this has generated a bit of debate considering it's a pretty mundane topic
where do people stand on slot on vs threaded?
