Ash-Kennard Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 king, profile and hope hubs and an absolute doss to service, soo easy. rip it apart, clean, re lube, put it back together. profile and hope hubs are sealed and use pawls so dont tend to skip very often, and if they do they catch on the next pawl so they will rarely need servicing. so the cranks would move only a very minut distance and skips are barely noticeable. kings use a different system and only tend to skip if not maintained correctly or often enough. freewheel hubs are alot more reliable than FFWs and will last alot longer. but will also give a different feel to your bike as the engagement is coming from the other end. i prefer the feel that it is directly connected to the wheel and is seems more powerful.get the profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Like said above they are easy to service my profile never skipped. One thing i would say is don't run your chain super tight as it will ruin the bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
