Attached is a common derailleur protector in the market. It is supposed to be used to protect the rear derailleur in case the bike falls onto the side of the rear derailleur. Should it be used?
Actually, the derailleur hanger is already protecting the derailleur. When the bike falls on the derailleur side, the hanger will bend to avoid damage to the derailleur. Am I correct? If I am correct, is the derailleur protector providing another level of protection to the derailleur and/or the hanger? If the derailleur protector is used on an e-bike (which is usually heavier than a normal bike) and fall the derailleur side, will it cause the bike frame to bend or deform at the drop out ?
