joe b Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I know that a lot of XTP frames have broken because of profile hubs. But i haven't heard of the new style frames breaking. This is what the new style dropouts look like... I am wondering what you guys think, would a profile be alright in these frames? Or would it just be a disaster like with the old XTP's. Bear in mind the frame width (drop-out to drop-out) is 110mm and the profile hub length is also 110mm. Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I'm guessing it'd be alright Joseph. Make sure with Tarty or someone who know's more than your average person, but my guess is it'd be fine. You need a proper hub anyway :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 yes the 2005 frames are ok with profile hubs. lee buchanan has a 2005 one and when he uses his normal wheel it pulls the frame together quite a bit and it does look as if the rear end HAS been widend particularly for using more standard type hubs.

SQuiT-man Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Why did using a profile break the old ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Something with spacing being different I think and the dropout's werent filled in like on Joe's so they were cracking. Joe's will be fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 it opened out the back end.................. so it put more pressure on the actual dropout which then caused ONLY a couple to crack. Waynio...................... its not a problem?its just the odd 1 or 2 that were not wide enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH!P Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 White Industries suck, Cringle's was good engagement but slipped all the time. Profile's the ONLY way to go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) Lee ← thats why people with brains put the snail cams on the outside. not too complicated solution really is it?? Also, a white industries certainly isn't as good is it. Well, lets see if its still running perfect with no skips in 4 years time like my profile. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montybiketrial Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Profile are the shizzzzz maaaaaaaan. £135 IS A BARGAIN for what you get with a profile. A reliable hub that will last for years, never let you down and great after sales service... with lifetime warrenty.. I think... Where as.... £70? £80? Whatever, is a rip off for what you get in a White Indust-wank thing. Profile (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
