Profile’s Tech Tip #6: On Guard!
Which Profile or Madera hub guard will work for you?
Substitutes the non-drive cone on rear 3/8 hubs and the cone and jam nut on rear 14mm hubs.
RHD and LHD versions available.
Will also work on 3/8 REAR Profile Mini, Totem, and Elite hubs as well as Madera 3/8 V-2 Hubs.
Fits/wedges over the non-drive side jam nut.
Fits/wedges over the aluminum cone (cone version must have machined, knurled steel washer).
Why: The profile drive side is beautiful. Rear hub guards find themselves on an EXTREMELY short list of things I actually care about when it comes to bmx bikes. The fact it replaces the lock nut is wonderful (old style). I refuse to spread frames anymore, only to jam a hub in that will move the first time you grind, or worse, bend your rear triangle. Also the dropout slot is brilliant. You never have to worry about your guard rotating into your chain and sending you over the bars.
