and a regular shoelace wont catch and grind away either? zipties tend to snap very soon for me

Arttu:
I used to make these 10 years ago, they worked really well (I would custom make each one to fit the hub perfectly). I still have a smaller one on my rear hub. At first I used zip ties, but they broke instantly, so I just used some shoelaces, which lasted years.

JFax:
Im also for press fit. I have had my BSD on my marmoset for years and its just awesome. If there were chromo versions I probably use those

blueee:
my biggest gripe with the glands was that it reallly just kinda reduced damage to the spokes, didnt fully protect them. after a long time all those ledge bashes into the guard would knock and deform all the spokes around the edge of the hub flange. and on the ratchet with its thick flanges, the spokes would deform like crazy at the J and then snap at that bend. my db spokes would rarely snap at the butting and mostly at that bent in J. i hope the new gland is better for this here lil gripe of mine

but theyre lighterweight
