Creo 2 Dork Disc Removal

[Extreme1]

I just realized that my wife’s new Creo 2 still has the dork disc on the rear wheel. Whats the easiest way to remove it?

On one of my old bikes I remember going crazy with a pair of side cutters, but there’s gotta be a better way.

Side cutter tin snips are what I use, just need to be careful and not snip a spoke!

The right way is to remove the cassette. The dirty way is to cut it out with diagonal cutters.

Why do you want to remove it?

 

[stompandgo]

Why wouldn't you?

I only remove them from a ebike if I have the cassette off already. That small amount of rotational mass is close to the center of rotation and is virtually undetectable.

I updated to a new alloy rear wheel for my last conversion, and took the freewheel and steel dork disk from the old steel wheel.

Complying to the EN15194...

I like the looks of a shiny steel dork disk. If it were yellowed plastic, it might go away,

Yea it’s clear plastic and just looks cheap for such an expensive bike.
