Homemade hubguard (Pictures)

that looks so legit! keep it like it is

it kinda looks like its a bit too thick and might spread your frame.

it's made just like if i didn't have any hub guard i just removed one of the two locknuts (like shadow with their hub guard) and made the hub guard to replace perfectly the locknu. you can tell by looking at the "spare" axle that is the same on both sides of the hub don't know if you can tell from the photos i'll upload a pic

as you can see it's a hair wider

looks almost the same as a legit shadow keep it "raw"...

okay cool, and i like that rim strip lol

Good job man

Nice job! It's gonna be a shame to see that thing get busted up from the grinds. Ever consider painting it?

very nice! consider drilling out the hole that the axle goes in a little bigger and making a 14mm steel insert to prevent the aluminum from crushing/deforming around the axle

Too legit
Should've made it out of steel though but thats just me

if you paint it then the pain will rub off on grinds and itll look shitty by the end of the first session..

+ i didn't spend a cent on it so i'm quiet happy and thanks to everyone for feedback

Gonna do this when I go back to school we have a metal lathe I can do it on yay!

That is quality work! Looking to go into that sorta business? Or just a past time

You should start selling these if it wasn't too hard to make. It looks awesome.

Sick bro keep it like it is

It didn't take a lot of time but i'll use this as prototype and maybe add an anti spin thing and put some kind of steel spacer in the hole and don't know maybe open a buissness
Also it's going to be easier to copy this since to make it i started from a solid piece of aluminium and didn't have any sames a part of my hub and some pictures

Nice, better than the one I made for sure (you did have a lathe)
Keep it raw. BMX needs more people like you.

Good job dude...

It's about time someone posted a usefull thread on vital.

Thats a pretty dope creation, Its always nice to have tools available when you bmx. In the next couple days I'm planning on rawing my stolen team cranks and possibly making some bar ends, the ones that came with my cult vans grips are straight trash and it would be pretty sweet to have parts on your bike that you made yourself

Just keep it raw, itll get scratched anyway. but i think itd look better black. :p

yeah i'm keeping it raw , it would look messy all scratched up !

did u take on of the axle hard washr things off on grind side to make so dont have to strech back end to put wheel on
