I think it comes down to brake mount placement. I have Eclat brakes and can clear a 2.4 tire no problem, and havent had an issue with any other brakes.

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.I ran a 3/8's axle on the back of a mini, along with their normal guard and a bsd one later on and they worked somehow.
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 :/
I am happy for you, I really am. We arent selling them any more due to how problematic they are.
Even after they fixed them?
My local said they were shit, then they started riding them themselves when Eclat came out saying they messed up production and sent out updatet internals.
Yep. Strangely enough, the ones that came stock on the WTP Envy completes seem to be just fine.
Can you please name some of the problems you had/saw? I really don't want to mess shit up, so I'll try to keep spare parts for the coaster in my tool bag (for example the spring thing that shit the bed on some).

Hopefully it's not the éclat bullshit since Brennan has WTP ties.
Éclat bullshit? My Blind is working better than any other coaster I've ridden (KHE and Ezra).
The Antigram uses the same bearings that were used in the Vandero2, whereas the Simian uses the same bearings as the Marmoset. I remember quite a lot of people complaining about Vandero2 bearings, although I assume the large majority of the hubs are doing fine.
