Revolver Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 That said, in that thread, they made one overnightBut that just makes it worse, the fact they can do it so quick and won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 From what I recall (and I could easily be wrong here), Tarty pre-ordered a batch in case Hope ever did produce them, as opposed to because they were at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 profile are pretty shit quality imo and because i like to be different and try new thingsthis hadn't been done so we went for itsorry but what the hell kind of experiance have you had with profiles? not shiny enough?I had one that lasted 2 years not one skip. Replaced the driver bearings once and that was it, how is that "shit quality"? Fair enough try new things and all that, but for the time and money spent would it have been cheaper to buy a profile?Im not the only one who can sing praise for profile... best mod hub out there with exception to a king...

steve-winder Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 In my opinion, the pro2 will be allot more reliable, strong and have a much longer life than a profile. Profile hubs have been tried and used on stock and have failed miserably due to lack of strength and fouling of the ratchet mechanism. When ste first got the pro2 he was riding stock. having both stock and mod experience and also ive used hope pro2's and profiles. We both thought well whats the point of just leaving the new pro2 laying unused whilst buying a new wheel for mod. Thats where the idea for converting the pro2 came abouts.As for the disc mount. Yes there isnt quite enough room to fit a rotor in due to the angle of the chainstays, however with very minimal facing of the hubshells disc mount it wouldn't be a problem to make it disc usable. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think profiles are great, im getting one for Christmas, i would rather get a profile than have all the hassle doing that to a pro II, profiles are great i dont know why people are saying there not, every profile ive riden has been good not skipped/ skipped on the owner.

Hope stupidly dent take them up on this as tarty wont purchase that many now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
