Madera – C4 Non-Drive Side Hub Guard

November 1, 2016

Madera coming through with a look at their brand new C4 Non-Drive Side Rear Hub Guard that they have just released for those of you looking to get your grind on. This hub guard is machined by Profile Racing in the U.S.A from a strong plastic material called Delrin that is made to be durable, but still allow you to slide without as much drag like a normal metal hub guard would. This guard is made specifically for 14mm axles and can be used on Madera rear hubs, along with Profile Racing‘s Mini, Elite, Totem and Z-Coaster rear hubs with a 14mm axle.

The C4 Non-Drive Side Rear hub guard comes in black only with a weight of 1.35 oz. and a retail price of $19.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Madera worldwide now.

Product: Proper Bike Co. – Select Universal Drive Side Hub Guard

January 7, 2016

If you caught our posts a while back about the Proper Select Hub Guards, you would have heard that Proper were planning to add a Drive Side option to their line of Select hub guards. It looks like they have finally released the guard, which starts out with a CNC machined Ultramid Nylon with a heat-treated 4140 chromoly core. The guard fits most 9-tooth hubs (14mm male or 10mm female bolts with an adaptor that’s included) and because of the hexagon shape of the chromoly core, it helps to prevent the guard from spinning, as well as the wheel from slipping with more metal on metal surface area.

The Select Universal Drive Side Hub Guard comes in black only and is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Proper Bike Co. now!

Product: BSD – Drive Side Jersey Barrier Hub Guard

December 1, 2015

Is it time for a new drive side Hub Guard? Well, BSD have their new Drive Side Jersey Barrier hub guard hitting BMX shops and mail-orders very soon. This guard, which is designed to fit BSD’s Back Street Pro and West Coaster Freecoaster (we would imagine fits on more brands hubs than just those two), is made from high density molded plastic with a chromoly insert. The plastic guard also has a molded drop out location point which prevents the guard from spinning while grinding. The Drive Side Jersey Barrier guard is available in black only!

Product: BSD – West Coaster Freecoaster Hub

November 13, 2015

Here’s one we got a look at back at September in the BSD Interbike 2015 Preview. The new West Coaster freecoaster hub that they have been working on over in Scotland. The West Coaster freecoaster starts out with a 6061-T6 aluminum shell with high quality sealed bearings, a 4130 heat-treated chromoly axle, a unique durable clutch design and a triple bearing driver that is designed to to hold up to the heavy abuse these hubs are put through in the streets. Below you can find a little more info about their new drag system that BSD chose to go with…

“We utilized a totally new type of drag mechanism, instead of the usual ‘metal grinding on metal’ spring arrangement we used a heavy friction O-ring to create drag on a highly ground and polished section of the axle. This makes for smooth operation, while generating ample friction to engage the hub.

We tested many different designs of the driver, the all bushing systems we tried had too much wobble, we also tested various configurations of cartridge bearings, they had their own issues. We got the best results using 2 x cartridge bearings, 1 x polymer bush bearing and a C-clip to keep everything simple, steady and solid.”

The West Coaster hub comes in right or left side drive with color options of black or polished, a weight of 1.45 lbs. (660 grams / 23.28 oz.) and have Jersey Barrier Push-On drive and non-drive side hub guards included.

The Hub will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide in December, so hit your favorite shop up and see if you can get on that pre-order list today.

Insight: Proper Bike Co. – Select Hub Guards

August 20, 2015

With the ever growing popularity of grinding and finding a way to grind smoother, further and all around better, we’ve seen a lot of innovation from pegs to hub guards over the years. We’ve gone from heavy oversized pegs to titanium, aluminum and plastic pegs and we have seen hub guards in multiple variations as well from guards you zip tie on to designs that snap into place or slide on replacing the existing hardware. However, there’s still room for some innovation. The guys over at Proper Bike Co. have been busy working on their new range of products that have just recently been released worldwide through BMX shops and mail-orders. One of the items in particular we thought was pretty interesting are their new Select hub guards that use a slightly different design than other options on the market. We got the inside scoop on just what makes these guards so special, so let’s take a closer look and find out the details!
