Apparently, they have a tendency to fall off, especially if hit by the rocks they supposedly protect against.

given that in germany they arent legal for road use they have a type of push on on pull off connection. You can literally pull them off on you hand. Its because they are easy to nick - I dont think a cable is really going to help them falling off if they get hit by stones to be honest.

glad I got the ttech one, at least the thief needs a screwdriver!
