Daniel C Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Doesn't work without quite a few custom parts.Thanks for clearing that up adam bumping an old topicI have just put my profile axle and freehub body into my pro2 shell and it seems to worki have also used the profile drive side bearing and the other bearing is from the pro2the only thing i cal see will need modifying is the end cap on the non drive side wich will have to use the pro2 one, wich means you mont beable to use disc unless you can file the profile drive side one down but there is only about 3 mm that you would be able to file down :/understand?but tomorrow im goin to cut the end cap down and get it into my bike, if it works ill get some pics up and pictures on how i did it step by step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once you have tested it give us a review like! just got a couple of pics for you as it standstomorrow im gonna try and get the pro2 springs and pawls in it as they are wider than the profile ones so might be alitle stiffer if you get me if not pawls then i will just put the springs in as they are alittle more quicker?pics(sorry for quality they was took on my phone(ment to be 8mp ))EDIT: sorry for spelling im tired Edited August 6, 2009 by Daniel C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 If the pro2 prawls are wider will there be enough room in the little slot they sit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 If the pro2 prawls are wider will there be enough room in the little slot they sit in?I think they will stick out about a mm not too sure yet lol can only try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 It'd probs be easyer just to buy a pro 2 and cut the axel and driver shell down, aparently it didn't take that long and wasnt that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith!! Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Steve did it and danny bought it off him, he milled down the drive shell and got it re tapped, also cut the axel down and abit of the disk mount I think, dunno about the mount bit though.I'd rather work out how to do that rather than buy a pro 2 and a profile and hope for the best lol.

You can easily buy a pro2 hub shell off tarty which are now available and put your profile internals inside. And now its been proven to work, people are now going to consider doing it.. Meaning more baby Pro2's floating about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning more baby Pro2's floating about oh dear. or you could just buy a new profile shell for cheaper. keep the same rim and spokes you had previously, and save yourself money altogether.why do some people make it more complicated than others.if you want a 32h, buy a FFW and get a new rear wheel. Which will offer a lighter set up, and generally you will become as good as gilles coust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 There's a very high percentage that this is a stupid question, but, Would the driver, pawls, springs blah de blah from a Pro 2 fit into a Profile shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The axel from a pro 2 and everything fits, just not the pawls.I see. So you could just use the pawls from the Profile then?And it would sound like a Pro2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Update with pics of it in my frame me and callum curwood was playing about with it last night and got it into my frame,pic here is what we did to make it fit and work1. take the axle, driver and drive side bearing out of the profile, along with the end cap2. pt all of that into the pro2 shell leaving the non drive side pro2 bearing in(im guessing the profile bearing will fit)3. cut down the non driveside end cap of the pro2, all you need is the little silver bit on the end of the cap.put that onto the end of the axle.4. and then put it into your frame The snail cams also work on the inside of the frame problems(there are always problems lol)1. the non drive side snail cam bolt head will have to be filed down about a mm if that, so that the wheel can go more forward as it hits on the end of the hub shell2. there is no seal on the non drive side so im guessing if you like to get your bike dirty you will go through bearings lol, but you could probilly get a cover off a non sealed hub.Thats about it really, im going to get it built into a wheel asap and ill get testing it i shall let you all no how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Impressed that it just goes in like that...However, until I see a video of the disc brake working, I won't believe it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantrials Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Good work, but is there enough room for the disc bolts to fit? Edited August 9, 2009 by dantrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 For it to work with a disc, it needs the proper end cap. (Or a new one machined designed to work with a cam).Really good work so far though, hope it works properly. I'd still much rather have a shortened Pro 2 drive shell and axle though.
