What are they for? I've never seen anyone with anything bolted to them, so what use are they?
More to the point - can I cut mine off? If I unship my chain (And we all do it however well the mech is set) the cahin goes behind the tabs and jams itself. Can I just cut the tabs off, and file them smooth?
Alternatively is there a plate or similar that I could bolt to the holes to stop the chain falling down behind it?
