It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I had to do something like this with my escooter, as the tiny wheels mean the rotor is a few cm from the ground and even the tiniest puddle would instantly coat them in water and mud.
Though my solution was just cutting up some random plastic crap I had laying around and taping it between the disk and the tire :p

But the performance difference sure was massive.
