threadworthy: hubguards

(1/8) > >>

Zoidberg:

so since i've been bmxing, hubguards have come a long way

from nothing except glands (which lets be honest are plug ugly, EXCEPT THE NEW ONES) really have done the job without spreading the frame etc

and now everyone (at last) seem to do them for their own hubs, threadable, slot on, etc

the merrit ones seem interesting but maybe the gland 4's already make them obsolete

thoughts? how much is too much for a guard? they are pricey for specific ones but arguably worth it

plus, plastic or 4130, and why?

very nerdy, but arguably, hub guards are what have come on the most

come at me bra

Glands are deadly. I'd probably meritt's next and have been using knight gurds for a few years. The problem with knight guards is that they stick to the ratchet axle.

Prodigal Son:
chromoly is what I would want. Slides very very nice. Though its the most expensive option.

I was running into this issue last night when buying my new wheelset, Last wheel set I bought I didn't have to worry about it since it was a set of primos, which the N4FL is probably one of the best hubs/hubguards I've ever ran in my life.

Ended up picking up a set of profile hubs with all profile guards, I really wish they were chromoly and I wish they made a rear hubguard that works with bolt on hubs and not just 14mm threaded axle ones :/
