011001000110010101110010 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Profile, the most used, the most trusted cassette hub. If may skip when just riding along but when you need it to engage it will everytime! They are very simple to take apart and re assemble. They run dry so you don't have to worry about re greasing every couple of months. It will be worth spending the extra money on a profile. I have heard a couple of good things about the Odyssey hub but nothing on the scale of the profile. Profiles ca be brought through wiggle.co.uk . Hope this helps, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 wowwwwww thanks people that is grate i will get that 4 £106 that is ober good what do u think bout a eno maby fadom ← go for a profile :) at the price of £106 you cant go wrong. theyre soo stiff and reliable..unlike a eno(bedding them in- skip alot, can come loose) the profile has an uber strong axle so itll fell solid on backwheel rather than all flexy like echo/onza/monty/viz/koxx hubs. also i profile wont try and eat your jeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 The bmx mini race (160 quid) hub is the one most people use. The cheaper one doesnt have a quoted weight, so its probably quite a bit heavier. Its pretty likely you're gonna need new spokes, possibly a new rim, but if its megamo standard then it should be a 36 hole rim anyway.

Luke Drewery Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Definately go for the profile, £106 is cheap and it will save you money in the long run as freewheels dont usually last as long, unless your uber smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few bmxers who broke them :- :) which you dont want (less leverage and theyre still breaking....think about it on a trials bike ;) (Y) :( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
