ok cool. I'm new to whole pegs thing, so do I have to get a guard that's made specifically for my hub? Or are the ones out there that are universal? (b/c I have just a stock joytech). What are some examples of ones that are universal. Thanks in advance for any help Smile
Well i'd go with the mk3 gland hub guards! there smooth and they last. But i would recommend hub guards only becuase a couple buddys of mine just broke their hubs from grinding. and without the rim looks like shit. but good luck with grinding(Y)

ummmm.... what if that is out of stock at my LBS, which gives me sweet discounts? Are there any other good ones?

Well from what i've heard, any hub guard will work.What i was trying to say was , if your looking for something good and cheap go with the mk3 gland , but any hub guard will work if you get it on your hub.

I never had a hubguard, but i know that some hubguards wont fit on ur wheel/frame. Go to ur local bike store and ask them which one would fit. Have fun!

BMX stands for Bicycle Motocross, so I suggest you STFU.

Anyone with an inch of imagination can ride street well without pegs. Just look at Garrett Byrnes....... No more need to be said.

This answer is just plain stupid!

I most likely have been riding BMX longer than you have been alive,I have never ran pegs on any of my bikes.

.....then again,I guess it was pointless riding all these years without pegs,since your the expert and all.

I swear this is the only guy left on this board with any sense.

OP, everytime i come on here you have at least two threads on the first page asking for peoplet to tell you what to do with BMX. are you so unimaginative that you cant decide what grips to get for yourself or what you want to do when riding your bike?

pegs are like $10, get some and try it, howre people on here going to tell you what you like?

btw, in my experience glands arent very effective for protecting anything. I too had a no name hub (salt) and i bought the fbm guard. It took a bit of forcing to get it in there but im really happy with it. its quite large and definitely saved my spokes/hubs from my numerous loose grinds.
