I'm getting one soon and on my current hub, I am running a United Squad non-drive side guard and a Primo DSG guard in plastic. I want to know if they will still work because the collars on the Gsport hub look thick as hell and yeah..

I had to mill down my united guard to clear. They are a really deep guard

What do you mean? And I'm not planning to file or anything on something that's metal.

The united guard will be on the spokes before the guard has touched the end of the collar.

You can space the guard out more with washer and stuff. I wouldn't do that though because your already going to have to pry your frame apart heaps because of the dsg and with the united.

If I was you I'd get either a gsport ratchet guard or a gsport gland. The ratchet guard replaces the non drive side collar or the gland just ties onto the spokes. Both don't add any extra width to the hub itself.

Not sure about the above mentioned, but my Daily Grind Infinity works like a dream on my Ratchet. No spacers or nothinnn. Pretty sure the Primo DSG works on it too without spacers but I may be wrong. I would just file/grind down the primo if it hits the spokes because i wouldn't want to run spacers+2 guards. Would require way too much frame spread.

But if youre asking if the collars are too wide for the guards, then no theyre not! Theyre not THAT big, only about 22-23mm.
