Default Riding without belt guards
I'm thinking about removing those ugly-a** belt guards. Anybody ever have any problems doing that?

just increases your chances of getting a rock in there and puncturing your belt.&nbsp\\; I got a puncture a few weeks ago and I have the guard.

belt guards are lame, no need at all. i removed mine within hours of getting my bike, never had any issues.
