Dan6061 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Profile hub, '07 Kris Holm rim. Beast! The rim has had way too many grinds now, is denting really easily, but it's still going strong! Never used to dent it from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used to dent it from new. i take it when you get a decent hub you no longer use freewheelcan you use any bmx rear hub aslong as the spoke holes are the same as the rim?.

Dan6061 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Nah, I just use a Profile because it has strong engagements, and it has a 'female' axle, so it uses bolts to hold it in place. Most other BMX hubs have a 14mm axle, which is too big! And they're often 48h. Profile's are 36h, which still makes it a bitch to find decent rims. I don't really know much about freewheels, so await some advice from others first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo!Man Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Mine: Trialtech Sport rim, Trialtech spokes and sport Hub, with aroun 5 o 6 grinds on. It had 2 or 3 dents, but it's a strong rim. I recommend it. One friend of mine: Trialtech Sl rear rim, Rockman hub. With no grinds, yesterday he cracked it over the "union" of the rim, doing the same dropgap I did. My rim is still right there. I don't recommend SL lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
