Dropouts aren't round either.

The guard is only holding your lateral position, it shouldn't have much weight on it so I very much doubt that there would be even a slight effect, probably less significant than a slight flat spot ground on your peg.

dude...:
i always land on my guards cos im sketch, i reckon id bend the uniguard inwards pretty quick.

i got a daily grind guard on my driveside which is pretty sweet. for the front i reckon no guards and an inward laced hub is the best setup ive ran


had one of these laced inward and the recessed bits in the shell for the heads meant i never smashed any spokes, only ground into the shell a bit but it lasted ages and is still chilling in my shed

theres a few other companys do hubs with similar recessed bits in the flanges that would work, shadow do, cant think of others off the top of my head

badlight:
Tree should bring back their original front hub. I always thought that was a cool idea, and a lot less annoying than trying to get special spokes.

Macneil did that too.

dude...:
i had a macniel one on the front and it wasnt as good. the outbound spokes still would break, but the hubshell folded over them so it made replacing them a pain. had to gouge out the deformed shell with a flat head screwdriver to make the space to get them out
