Zoidberg:
wouldn't that macneil be a bitch to lace with different spoke sizes tho?

also any pics of the tree guard? if it was so good why was it discontinued?

dude...:
those tree hubs were cool but fuckin expensive in the uk, about twice the cost of a marmoset (like 150 quid+ if i remember correctly).

sans.terre:
...macneil...wtp...wtf.

if you want metal run cymbals.
if you want plastic run gland 4

the only two guards with any resale value
end of discussion lol

dude...:
says the current dumbest member lol

conical guards on the front feel whack on ledges (theyre dece on rails), and glands are good but the gland 2 was better than the 3 cos it sat flusher to the wheel.
there are many options out there, its a case of personal preference for how you grind

inner lacing and no guards worked best for me
end of discussion lol

The photo I posted was of the Tree hub. This was the Macneil hub:


I am pretty sure the Tree hub used the same size spokes, just stepped slightly to reduce stress on the "outbound" spokes when laced inward. I could be wrong though.
