Sam Moore Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hey,I'm looking at getting the07 profile free hub, and I was wondering what the reviews are like on them, and is there any cheaper free hubs on the market that do a decent job?Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim hill is a dick... yeah Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I would'nt go for a profile as for an extra £40 you can get a chris king bmx hub from www.aspirevelotech.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) Mines fine.But if you wanted to buy a new hub, get a king from aspire. Edited November 27, 2007 by alex jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Tarty say that they will meet a price if you find a better price, do you reakon they will do iteven if its from america?Profiles are fiiine. BMX kings are for flash gash .But Tarty won't price match an import, I'd be surprised if tarty wern't paying more than that £200 when they buy them... Imports don't count when price matching UK sites, mainly if not completely due to stupid taxes (VAT etc etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moore Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 It sounds to complicated, I’m just going to buy a profile off tarty so I can get the cheaper wheel build.Keep the reviews coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Aslong as the rear wheel spacing is 110mm i think it is, then yes.If its standard mountain bike sizing (135mm) then it won't fit.never seen a 24/7 holroyd bike you see.

Shaun H Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 If you do what you are supposed to and look after them they dont skip I dont see why people dont trust them?Max...+1Too many kids with too much money/rich parents and no technical know how.I can count the number of times my 2+ year old King has skipped on one hand. It has NEVER done a full rotation skip and it has NEVER skipped during anything potentially dangerous. Because unlike ratchet and pawl systems that are much more likely to shit the bed under high pressure, Kings just mash the drive/driven rings together even harder when you're giving it beans Haha, not easy being from sweden..Thanks alot, it would fit on a 24seven holroyd right?The Holroyd is 116mm spacing so it's the BMX model you'd need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
