The hubguards look pretty dumb, too, because they're just straight and way too far away from the flanges to really protect the spokes. Look at other hubguards on the market and how near they are to the spokes and flanges. 1pc axle/guard doesn't sound that smart, because I wouldn't want to swap axles everytime I grind through a hubguard.

Yeah its just a first drawing bro, chill I'm looking into the thickest I can have the flanges, but I can also counter sink the holes so that the spoke heads sit in them, which also further protects the spokes. The hub guards are the exact same as I run currently on my front. I can vouch for the design holding up. I haven't even mentioned what material I'm using yet, and with rotating the guard, even the heaviest of grinders should get a good life out of it. Realistically, for most people it should last at least the life of the hub itself. As for the flanges being so narrow, the point of it is to have them further away from the guard, as you want them as far away from danger as possible. They are only actually a couple of mm closer each than the flanges on the eclat dynamic hub, just the height and beefyness (yeah I made that up) of the hub give the impression they're a lot closer together. And that brings me onto my last point, that you had all that to say based of a single picture of a first drawing of a hub, with no dimensions, and no knowledge of what view its it. So pretty much you've made yourself look like a bit of a spaz...

I'm just throwing this out there, but although keeping the flanges closer to the center of the hub will keep them out of harm's way, it was also weaken the wheel itself. The wider apart the flanges are, the more lateral strength there is overall. The closer they are to the center, the less.
I'd like to see a finished model of your hub though, it's always cool seeing stuff like that other riders made
See I don't mind that. You saw a possible floor and suggested something else with reason... But yeah, we'll see. I don't want to have them super wide but I'll have a play around tomorrow when I get a chance, see whats what. And yeah I will do man. NGL, its not going to be finished for a while, mainly coz I don't have all the material I need so I'll need to buy it when I'm paid, but I'm also moving out next month so depends how much that costs me.... But I shall get it done and I'll post here when it is
