Odyssey Antigram vs G-Sport Simian front hub

<< < (2/3) > >>

metalbmxer:
Gsport if you anticipate being hard on your front wheel/axle

Otherwise Antigram is lighter

G:
Antigrams and Simians and the New clutch hub all have angled flanges. All wheels have angled spokes so angled flanges are better. If you cross-lace then ideally you want them even more angled, not straight...

I hope this helps.

That makes sense. I just thought it may have been some angle optimized for a traditional lacing pattern etc... figured it was worth checking.
Sounds like I'll be placing an order for a Simian this week... Thanks!

I nwas looking into the difference between marmoset, and simian. seems simian has better hub guard option if that's an issue.

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.
