ive been learning to grind more and ofcorse i forget to get a hubguard so there are some scratchs on my hub. but it still works (apart from needing to be cleaned and regreased) but im wondering if i start grinding alot how will this effect my bike damage wise if i use a hubguard?

A hub guard will prevent you from snapping spokes as easily when grinding and will also protect the flanges from bending and being warn down. I'd defo get some I you're gonna be grinding quite often

^Yes. Get some guards if you plan to start running pegs often and make sure that the guards that you get will fit your hubs.
Other damages from grinding are just the obvious stuff. You can dent your frame if you mess up a grind, your pedal pins will most likely get worn down, you might see scratches and marks on your chainstay after a while. Nothing too crazy.
Just get some guards and you should be fine.

yeah i will get some hubguards, i just dont want to mess up the bearings in my hubs or break my axle or somthing because there pretty good hubs aha.
i dont care to much about scratchs as those can be fixed easily.

Get some guards.
THE ONLY EXCEPTION would be if you ride NOTHING BUT MINI RAMP with round coping, you won't hit your hubs.
