I'd ride a profile outta the two. Cheaper, easier to maintain, easier to strip, easier to get parts for, easier to get running to a trusting level. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I know who can get you a king for about half the rrp dude. My king with hd axle, steel driveshell and funbolts was £203 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Stick with your profile! :) You bought the bugger for a reason: because theyre cheap and reliable. just hammer the driver(freehub) thingy off. The bearings have probably gone in it. The cone bearing cover http://www.customriders.co.uk/prodlist.asp...ub&pg=4&site=3# has got stuck in the driver. the best way to fix it is to just hammer the driver off, until you can geta hold of the cone bearing cover, then pull it off. get some new profile bearings from www.smbbearings.co.uk Bearing model - 6802-2RS is what you need. £12.08 including p+p and VAT!!!! Get a new axle, or take yours to an engineering firm o summit and get it tapped, and a new bolt:) Edited June 24, 2005 by dan_t-lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Not sure about how to fix the problem, but on the subject of Kings vs. Profile. I have run both in my mod bike and I can honestly say that the profile is better. Feels much tougher and stronger when you kick. Also as Bongo said to service a profile you don't need to be a halfords mechanic! ( :) ) But to service a king properly is another matter. One last thing I thought profiles where supposed to run dry?

Will Arnold Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 thanks for the help everybody, i have re-tapped the threads earlier on and the bolts now go in very nicely :) the only problem is the cassette, it does work, but i want to get the metal filings out, i know they are in there because it has skipped a couple of times recently. it does run but i dont funny trust it, ive wacked it in the bike now and it seems fine to be honest should last me through my trip to france :P, but if a tooth snaps off, then im f**ked because there will be no way to access the bugger! if that happens i'll give profile a call, cheers people :( Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they should, but ask aspire to put that its a gift of a very low amount on the box, so there is no import tax on it :D Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
