threadworthy: hubguards

[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).

...macneil...wtp...wtf.

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

the only two guards with any resale value

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

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.
