If you want to avoid this, simply remove the pads from the brake calliper before cleaning and maintenance work. For the discs, for example, a squirt of Brake Clean from Motorex helps and the discs are ready to go again. If you don't want to bother with disc care and removing and fitting pads, Muc-Off now offers you a helping hand.

The new protector set called "Disc Brake Covers" wraps around the disc and brake calliper and is designed to prevent any cleaning residue from getting onto the stoppers. The round pieces are made from neoprene and were unveiled to the public for the first time at Eurobike 2018. The concept is simple: a stiffer, open ring can be slipped around the wheel axle, while the front round piece ensures a secure fit and protection by means of a wide Velcro fastener in conjunction with the rear ring. As well as being used for cleaning, the disc protectors can also be used as protectors during transportation.
