Questions & Answers
If you're wondering if this will work with a Cassette hub, it may or may not, but you never know until you try. It won't make a difference how many spokes there are. You'll want to use a caliper to determine the width of the circular part of the hub and the free hub.
I installed it on a Fuji 26" bike with a 10-speed cassette.
Yes, it will work; I tried it and it was successful. Working with a freehub versus a threaded freewheel hub is a little more difficult and requires some finagling. Simply remove the cassette with a cassette removal tool and a chain whip or chain whip pliers, then remove the axle and axle nuts, and finally, carefully remove the freehub with a 10mm Allen wrench inserted into the freehub fixing bolt fitting and turned left to loosen it. Fourth, once the freehub is threaded out, center the chrome spoke shield over the hole, then screw the freehub back in, making sure it is center over the hole, you may need to loosen then tighten the fixing bolt to ensure the freehub can still coast, it is a tight fit but believe me it works, it is also important that the freehub goes on top of the spoke guard, otherwise you will have issues getting the cassette to sit flat, So that's something to think about. Thank you for your interest.
I am confident that it will.

On each of my bicycles, I have one of these. When the spoke protector disk on my old mountain bike disintegrated due to age and the chain reached the spokes, I ripped up a bunch of them. Ouch! Replacing spokes isn't difficult, but it can be costly, and I had to wait a month for spokes to arrive from China. When I replaced the spokes, I used one of these to prevent this from happening again. Not like those dreadful plastic discs, it also looks great. Some argue that if you know what you're doing, you don't need a spoke protector, but they're inexpensive, lightweight, and will protect your spokes if the unexpected occurs.
Replacing your plastic one with a metal one is a good idea. This Spoke Protector is a real eye-catcher! It appeals to me. I'm working on a bike that used to belong to my cousin, and I was planning on getting a new plastic protector, but after hearing negative things about the plastic protector, I decided to order this chrome protector instead. While chrome on some items looks bad, it looks great on bikes, cars, and other vehicles. This will add some bling to my bike; I like it; it's inexpensive; and I strongly recommend it! Furthermore, this will last a long time, and I intend for it to last longer than a plastic protector. As you can see in the photo, I also installed these on clients' bikes.
I know "purists" and "weight wienies" would say "do without," but I want the look and the protection, and the weight is insignificant. This is a nice finishing touch for any bike, old or new.
My 1998 18-speed mountain bike's cracked spoke guard has been repaired and now looks like new!.
5 days earlier than expected. It arrived a week ahead of schedule and fits perfectly on my 700c road bike. Much better than the plastic garbage that was originally on my bike.
The chain is kept from falling off the sprocket and onto the spokes by this device. On cruisers, it looks fantastic!.
This is a low-cost, high-quality upgrade I installed on my Schwinn Cruiser, which had a faded and cracked plastic one. It has a gleaming chrome finish and is simple to install without requiring any modifications. It has made me very happy in every way.
