Early ones used to clip onto the QR skewer and the new ones loop over the ends, so you have to remove the skewer completely to fit/remove
The ones I have which i presume are later ones as I bought them in November clip into a mounting point which goes under the qr which you can see in the photo above, so to fit the mounting point you have to remove the qr but once that is in place to remove the guards you just unclip them there leaving the q/r alone and at the brake mounting point.
kilo man, learn to resize your photos before you put them on the internet. a 1.5 mb photo in place of a one-word answer (yes) to a question? Have a word with yourself.
I believe one photo is worth 1.5mb of words or something like that, but the photo helpfully shows the mounting clip as detailed above in reply to another question, so it’s all worked out nicely :-).
Is 1.5mb big? I’m not a computer nerd so have no idea
