Anyone run either of these ?
Planning on getting the OG spline drive tree sprocket it's just a sprocket but wanted to hear the good and bad about it
And the fit skyscrapers I'm assuming are like the older brother of the sky highs which I run and are dope but want to get bigger bars
They have 4 degrees is it noticeable ?
Any info on these two products would be appreciated thanks

The Tree Sprocket is the best sprocket you can get on the market. Some people will argue but with my short experience with it , it was amazing.

I know people that have had their OGs since they came out and, despite how ugly they look after years of abuse, theyre still straight as a whistle and all the teeth are in decent shape.
Fit makes quality parts aswell. Im sure those bars are more than fine.

Thanks dudes !
Yeah I was looking at the og spline since it's on sale in dans for $37 ! But wasn't sure about it , a little on the heavy side compared to new sprockets but doesn't really matter over a few oz
So I was reading a few threads about spline driver and someone said you can't run it slammed
Slammed as your sprocket slammed or your back wheel slammed
Yeah i wanted to go with fit bars since they make good stuff and are sorta like the sky highs which I've been running for years now
So 4 degrees is suppose to help with the wrists ?

Some people will notice 3 degrees like its difference between a topload and a frontload stem , others like me won't notice much. It should help a bit but if you're hopping 10 sets and doing gaps then it won't make a huge difference on the abuse they take.

If you have a true female rear hub you can still run slammed.
And its all personal preference. I ran 4up for awhile and absolutely hated it. Switched to 2up and it felt perfect. Now im on 3up and it even feels a little too much. All depends on you.

I'm not sure what people are talking about when they talk about slamming their sprocket.
You can run a spline drive sprocket anywhere on your spindle, you just add spacers behind it if you want it further out just like normal.
The idea is you want it as in line with your driver as possible.
Regarding the bars, 4 up does feel nice. You'll like it, and after riding for a few hours you'll probably forget that it is any different.

Best sprocket ever. If it came out in 22mm spline drive in 30t i would have it in a second. A must have
