First, don't @ me in threads in which I'm obviously already active, it's just annoying. Second, that brand throws up a huge array of red flags for me which means I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole.. Third, yeah, it appears to be a debris shield not a structurally important part of the BB, so if you don't mind exposing your bearings to whatever crap finds it's way into the frame, go ahead. If you're trying to make room for wires to pass through the BB shell, bear in mind that if you delete the sleeve, the wire will eventually be cut through by the rotating axle, so there's that.
