*Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack * Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 they do have a 6mm smaller axel which puts me off them a bit ... but from what ive heard there a smooth hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 they do have a 6mm smaller axel which puts me off them a bit ... but from what ive heard there a smooth hub The 6mm is in distance between the shoulders (to allow room for snail cams), not axle length. The Ti Disc hubs are pretty damn good in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 maybe a profile mini cassette would be better with a v brake as it will be on the back of a marino 24"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 maybe a profile mini cassette would be better with a v brake as it will be on the back of a marino 24"?Yeah. No need to buy a Monty Disk Hub if it's not for disk. I'd go Profile, rear drive is much nicer for street stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 They are stupidly light and just as smooth. Best hub ever, other than maybe an echo sl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 what is the profile or the monty?I'm guessing the Monty. Profiles are made of lead. True fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think he meant the material softness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 i dont think he ment that! Ill probably get the profile its better suited to street riding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 i dont think he ment that! Ill probably get the profile its better suited to street riding!Think again.Profile stuff seems to have low tolerances.I think Dan6061 had a profile hub, and the flange came off.

Dan S Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Well, I run Monty Ti Hub for a year now. Can't remember having any kind of problems. Very good Hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Think again.Profile stuff seems to have low tolerances.I think Dan6061 had a profile hub, and the flange came off.That's one of the very few things they do warranty. For the weight you can't complain though. Like i said, soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 i was a bit cocerned that the monty hub might not be strong enough for street as i know there more comp based parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
