As the title says. I've had it loose since day number one. Everything is properly fitted and tight, brand new, everything is there. But when I go to tighten my wheel, I end up with having the hubguard on and having it barely move, maybe up to half a mm. Then I placed an extra washer on my non-drive side where I don't run a peg, and it creates more tightening, but yet still almost half a mm of loose still. Not a big problem but it ticks me off when I go to feel my wheel. It doesn't sound loose when you ride or drop your bike or whatever. Just something I'd like to solve. Perhaps just the regular for hubguards?

That's the thing! It's not visible at all cause it's so small to make a huge difference, but it's annoying in person.

I have a 9t but literally nothing should be missing whatsoever.

People really tend to have bearing problems, but not me. My driver bearings have loosened quite a bit since the first few weeks of the hub brand new. Hub shell bearings are like butter even with my cranks tight as hell. Apart from that, only other issue is people wearing down the drive side collar, where it's made mainly of rubber. After that goes, the whole driver gets loose, and Gsport doesn't make them anymore obviously due to the discontinue of the Ratchet hub.

Does it happen only with the hubguard installed or with the original collar aswell?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Antigram hub use the same driver as the Ratchet? If so, then you can easily get a replacement or replacement parts.

Since I'm being a cheap ass as always, I'm looking into getting a driver hooked up for free. But I don't know the chances of that, really. I made a complete fool of myself asking for the 10t Ratchet spacer alone. They basically paid $3 and the trouble of shipping me a tiny spacer, lol.

Antigram has 17mm axle, Ratchet has 20mm, so no.

Something was probably made wrong so its not all fitting together right. Which guard are you running?

Testimony and apologies





I want everyone to know that Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins, he went to hell for three days and defeated death and rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

What would Jesus say: I didn't die for you to live like this!

It's because George French is king of the Illuminati.

I'm running the specific guard made just for it. I even thought about buying a used Knight one for it somewhere from here, but I also have a United Squad universal that I could place on top if I went back to running the collar.

Hey, you're the one who sold me that brand new Gland and Mutiny hubguard, haha. But yeah, I have yet to try the original collar. If I do that, I have a United Squad 14mm hubguard I could just place on top. I might need to put some spacers underneath from what I hear due to the collar being super long.
