I recently received the MagBak RimCase rim protectors and, frankly, the install is not as easy as the YT reviewers claim, the tolerances for the plastics are too wide for the width of the spokes while being too tight to easily, yet tightly, cover from the spokes to the rim. I have a MYP on 21” Ubertines and wanted the RimCase solution to cover a couple of wheel rash marks.
After spending an hour watching their install videos, the YT reviewers installations, and working to actually fit the plastic pieces to the wheel, I came away completely frustrated. I got three of the pieces to fit by torturing the plastic pieces to barely fit and they kept popping off (even though the adhesive backings were attached to the wheel). When I looked at the plastic pieces after I removed them the lower lips had warped and buckled. No bueno.
It would be a good solution but the installation, for me, was a non-starter, especially after being led to believe it was a simple snap-together install. YMMV, of course.
So, I’ve asked for a refund. We’ll see what happens.
