I have a Salt Ex Hub which is supposed to fit this Salt Plus Pro Nylon hub guard by just sliding it onto the cone, however it barely won't fit, even after trying to file it down a little and trying to hammer it on. What can I do?
Also someone posted here about 20 days ago about trying to fit a drive side hub guard onto his Salt Ex hub, which I guess I fell for as well. It is not compatible… Yay.

That was me.
All three of the other hub guards did just slide right on for me. With those slots lined up, they just popped on no problem. It was only the drive side rear guard that didn’t work. I sent messages to Salt and never got any response. I gave up.
That’s crazy that NONE of yours are working. Is it that the slot isn’t wide enough, or is the guard too deep and hitting the spokes or something?
I guess you could try pestering them with messages, maybe between the two of us we get a response… Though I realized that they’re in Germany, so that adds a possible language issue into the mix, too.
Frustrating.
If you can’t get salt to send you a new one you could go for the eclat servo hub guards there universal but have worked on several of my hubs they sell a non drive side and drive side options
Had this issue too but then figured out I had to take off the hub’s nut and put on a different nut that came with the hubguard, sort of like an adapter.
Did your hubguard not come with something to thread on the axle?
Make the hole bigger with a dremel
get the daily grind hub guards.
File the hub guard till it fits
your hub guard has to match your hub for the most part, are they both the same brand
This is so incredibly easy to modify and make fit. Just file it.. needs nearly nothing, then tap on with a hammer.
Peg backwards over it, then hit it with your purse
