Been on my mind for at least a year now is why no-one makes a chromoly hubguard? After research into design, including thoughts from G-Sport's own 'George' the final stages of making Chromoly Hubguards are coming together. Aluminium guards bend, warp, crack, break and ultimately destroy your axle due to the poor characteristics of even high grade aircraft aluminium.
After exploration into the most suitable material, it's proposed they will be made out of 4140 heat treated and tempered chrome-moly; the same stuff pegs are made from. 4140 chromoly is more suited than other metals, especially after heat treatment, to this application due to it's superior strength and wear resistance characteristics.
They will slide better than anything other guard on the market, including being safer on your axle as well as being tougher than any other guard! They will theoretically be made to suit Marmoset, Ratchet (Non-drive side coming later) as well as Odyssey style hubs (front and back, with non-drive being made later).
Sale price for all guards, regardless of hub type, is $30. Projected weight per guard is roughly 340 grams.
Expressions of interests needed now, as if you're too slow they will all be gone. First production run is of 4 guards (custom made to suit specific hubs), so get your orders in fast!
