Anyone had velo solo hammered metal guards snap? My missus ones have just gone at the bridge, few years old but bike has done 5-600 miles tops.
Think it's because the rear has just one stay, and even with much use of serrated washers and the supplied leather jobbies they can rattle a lot

Not used Velo Solos but that sounds like a stress fracture. Might just be age + quality unless there was constant strain at the bolt point (or was it just a clamp?).

They use those stainless crimp jobs, used a piece of old inner tube underneath so that it didn't need to be crimped that hard + any tiny movements don't make an annoying rattle/shreeking. But still it split. Looked nice though!
