MACK vs Goldtec Hubs

Thanks for those Google doc files.....They worked.

this little pile of Polish precision engineering arrived on my door step today. Ironically my girlfriend is in Poland at the moment but they were easier to order from Buckinghamshire. Only took 48 hours.
They look and feel nice, but time will tell..

Ok I don't know Macks. Never heard of them before this thread. But the above looks identical to another Polish production that was designed by a courier, for couriers, and tested on couriers. Manufactured by a helicopter engineer and in a class of its own for weight, finish, smoothness and the chunky lockring:

mack made hubs for gromada, and also keirin cafe in berlin, but the mack brand is his own project without anyone else's rebranding.

i'm not even sure if he still builds hubs for gromada...

incidentally -

Ok. Sorry missed this one as posting.

If mack is the man with the machinery, then yes he still does build them for Gromada. I bought some not so long ago.

All goes to saying that macks are good.

Enough, bejeysus.

"Maciej Wydra AKA Mr. Mack has in fact been making custom hubs already for years. His hubs have also been sold under the Gromada brand name."

Oh dear. But how the hell do you know Jussi?

And what are you doing up at this hour?

Vampires have red eyes and large pointy teeth. Not attractive. Scary even. If you're in Transylvania. Or in Finland where anything dark and otherwordly goes down like...like...Lordi for goddsake.

Right. Off to zzz better late than.
