the snap on hub guards are sick. definitely sounds like its gonna be a good one

I'd still get an éclat blind over it.. They're bin working on the blind for what like 8 years now.. That's including what wtp did with it

Saw this earlier, neat for sure & also cool how they include guards with EACH hub they make now, but (unpopular opinion time), I think the guards are dumb. if someone doesn't use the guard, the area where it snaps onto the lock nut will look weird and also doesn't seem like it would be adequate surface area to sit alone against the dropout. just what it looks like though, could be wrong. I would much rather chromoly guards myself so I wouldn't use the guards it comes with anyway

I like the "complete wheel" setup and the included guards. Only thing I'm not too stoked on is the non-adjustable slack. Although that's not really a problem if it comes with a pretty decent amount of slack.

It looks like the "snap on" part is integrated into the hardware, so I would imagine it comes with non snap on hardware or even a shim that snaps on instead of the guards. Its a good design, but if they dont release crmo guards I think it might be limited.

That's what I kinda figured, I hope that's how it is anyway cause if I ever needed to buy one I'd be sketched out by that. Probably not a big issue but still. They said in the link something along the lines of sliding with nylon guards is an amazing feeling but I've ridden the BSD pc guard which I'm assuming is similar, and I still prefer chromoly over it anyway. They might be perfect for someone else but not me haha

Yeah, because they are that old...

WTP's old FC and the Eclat are not the same

I want one. If the hubguards do their job and last for a while then I don't care. I really dig the whole idea of keeping it simple. They got it spot on with the no slack adjustment. I figure people who ride it will just get used to it without fretting about adjusting it all the time. I could care less about adjustment , it should be dope just riding one , yunno?

And the snap on guards was a great idea. As mentioned , if they protect the hub that it should be fine.
