Yeah I kinda figured that might be my best option. The S&M is nice but kinda $$ and I always liked the Daily Grind's. Also cool to support a smaller company/Ryan Howard. Hmmm

Other option is to put your dropouts over the outside of a bench vice and slowly open the vice. This will widen the rear a bit. Do it in small amounts ie flex it out and then loosen again before flexing it out a bit further etc.

That is an option but I'm kinda sketched to stretch out a new frame. Also when I have to remove my wheel with flats etc, I'm assuming it'll still be kinda tough to remove. As for removing the locknut, that doesn't sound bad but I also already have a little play in my coaster :/

I prefer traditional-style guards, but those do look quite nice over the old ones. Or even the merrit ones dropping

Ooh I forgot about the Kink one. Always thought they looked kinda thicker than S&M/DG, but I do like the ease of how it just slides in. Always hated trying to install/remove bent up alloy Primo ones

Thanks for the replies guys. Kind of feeling the Kink or the DG dsg now... Not sure which would be a better option

I am actually psyched for these. No, I won't be riding one, but I finally have something to sell to kids with perpetually pinched shut dropouts.

mattmoney:
Haha yeah I figured someone would bring that up. I'd still prefer the standard behind-the-drop guard but they look nice for what they are. Would like to see how they hold up once they're out

dude...:
the daily grind dsg is solid, pretty thin on the axle too cos its chromo
