Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This hub guard fits any 3/8-inch front BMX hub. The included adjustment washers accommodate different hub shell widths and fork dropout spacing for proper alignment. Best suited for street and park riders who grind on ledges, rails, and coping where front hub contact is common. The thinner profile compared to standard guards improves clearance in tight forks while the heat-treated steel construction provides superior strength and longevity. Install on either side of your front wheel depending on your grind preference, though most riders protect their non-brake side if running front brakes.
