It certainly is an issue, as I really wish there was a 4130 guard option... but that's not happening so now a baby marmy is on it's way to me! Before anyone says "Get a Daily Grind hub, they have steel guards" I did have one, and it was cool until the bearings were absolutely worthless after only about a month of riding.

on which hub? The marmoset?

I was wishing that the Simian (or baby marmy as I referred to it because I was unsure of the spelling of the Simian hub name) would have 4130 guards.
The bearings on my Daily Grind hub blew up in about a month.
Hope that clears it up.

Certainly does, I;ve had my marmy for like 5 years now without issue. I usually ride pegs and use knight hub guards.

Yeah I had a marmoset for a looooong time and only ditched it because I found a hub that had steel guards (Daily Grind). Poor decision on my part. I had Knight guards on it and it made the hub spin poorly sometimes, but I knew it was most likely the guards fault and not the bearings/hub on the marmoset.
