Put alloy Fly pedals back on, then forgot and did a solid pedal grind.

The Zodiac guard is awesome if you have a KHE style axle with a threadless shoulder. However I can see limiting access to the lock nut. It's still only a small compromise though.
My point is focussed on the colony hub and the fact the accommodation of any traditional hub guard (even the Zodiac) was considered during the design proccess.

thats not why they designed it like that though, its just chance that occured because colony have a stupid obsession with having threaded hubguards on their hubs.
I beg to differ. When the first prototype was made, this is exactly what was done.
Here it is with a push on guard and correct wheel spacing.
I do agree that screw on guards aren't ideal for heavy grinding, however the vast majority of riders aren't that heavy on them.

there was a thread for this already. its a khe clone with a thread on hubguard (which will suck because thread on hubguards are shit)
I know I posted it earlier in this thread (prior to it being posted anywhere else) but it was just an update.
The hub should also be out in Australia by late october and retail for $199. Good news for Australia as there are currently no decent coasters available here.
In regards to the threaded guard, I think you are looking at it all wrong. The axle has thread running all the way to the bearing, meaning you could replace the stock locknut with a narrower one and run any number of guards on the market. Unlike any other KHE clone style freecoaster on the market (which I also stated in the other thread you are speaking of).

14mm male axle & 14mm female axle versions.
RHD & LHD versions.
9t driver only.
36 hole only.
Optional hub guard available seperately.
Black only.
More info will be released closer to the release date."

Sneak peak at Colony's KHE style coaster from their instagram and on BMX union.
I like the threaded hub guard.
"There was word that Colony was “maybe” doing a freecoaster a few months back. They just dropped this photo on Instagram a minute ago with this caption to go with it “Colony Freecoaster. Male or female axle RHD or LHD. Out November.” … Looks like they decided to put it into production along with a hub guar to go with it! Expect more info on this closer to its release or at Interbike in September."

I recently bought a lathe and decided to make a few things for my tree hubs.
Firstly I made a 7075 T6 axle. I'm not going to use pegs on it
Stock chromoly axle and bolts
Front pegless cone hardware
Rear pegless cone hardware
I made an Eclat Pulse driver suit the tree hub.
I machined down the internal shoulder for clearance in the hub along with the outer face and replaced the bushings
I counterbored the cop and bottom of my stem as well.

My little contribution.
This is a Affix/KHE style coaster I machined down.
I turned down the non drive side flange and re-drilled the holes.
I femaled the axle and extended the thread in the non drive side so the thicker cone nut can be replaced by a thinner one giving more room for a hub guard. I also made a narrower non drive cone to give more room as well.
It has a thrust bearing behind the clutch, and I've been looking into bushings for the driver.
The lower shots have older B6 ti bolts.
