My Velo Orange guards have cracked near the seat stay bridge.
Everyone I ride with told me aluminium guards would crack .... I shoulda listened. Back to SKS.
How was the guard braced at this location?
With the bent-to-fit clamp that fastens to rear brake bolt. It’s pictured here towards the lower right.
The crack appeared about 10mm from the clamp, seat tube side, running across from an edge.
