Can some one recommend a front hub guard and rear drive side guard for a Fitbikeco Long 1? Trying to run primo plastic pegs on one side. Tried a Primo DSG Plastic Composite Hub Guard, garbage and didn't fit. also tried a Salt Plus Pro Nylon Front Hub Guard, good quality didn't fit.

Get the Eclat Overguard vs the Gsport Uniguard. I've had no issues for almost a year on the Eclat, The Gsport bent in a few months. Either works though , depends on your budget

Check the guards out at the links below. Both are universal and should fit your set up just fine.

I use a PC DSG as a non-drive hubguard without issue because I refuse to pay 40 bucks for a chromoly guard, and alloy guards suck in my personal experience. How did it not fit?
A buddy swears by the Eclat Overguard.
I am sick and tired of the "cliques" that this sport has recently developed. We should embrace the fact that we all ride a little kids bike, and not worry about the small details. When you take riding in its most basic form, we are all the same.

I'm not even sure they sent me the right one it looks different in the pic and just said primo on it. It was plastic, and yes I know plastic isn't that strong, i tightened it not a crazy amount , but it warped. It said it was supposed to fit nine tooth and up as well but it rubbed no matter how you put it on. I looked back at the reviews and people had the same problem.

These are the 2 guards I got for my drive side and had no issues installing them and they have been great.
