S&M Cymbal Rear Hub Guard

The S&M Cymbal hub guard is designed as a universal fit for most standard BMX rear hubs, but it is specifically engineered for 14mm axles. If you are running a non-standard or proprietary hub system, you should verify axle compatibility before installation.

Generally, no. It is designed for a straightforward installation that slides onto your axle. However, depending on your current hub spacing and peg setup, you may need to adjust your axle spacers to ensure everything sits flush and tight.

This guard weighs approximately 90.72 grams. It is constructed from 4130 CR-MO steel to balance durability with a lightweight profile, ensuring it doesn't significantly impact your bike's rotational mass.

This specific model is designed for the rear position. While it provides excellent protection for your hub and spokes during grinds, be mindful of your chain clearance if you are installing it on the drive side.

4130 CR-MO steel offers superior abrasion resistance compared to aluminum and is generally more durable than plastic when sliding on rough surfaces like concrete ledges or metal rails. It is the ideal choice if you prioritize longevity and heavy-duty impact protection.
