Damon W Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 ive noticed some bitches running profile bmx hubs on stock bikes. :o do they skip alot with the extra torque? :o how do you space them out simply wack some spacers on the axle? :) and does it have to be the profile mini or the standard one? (Y) any help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakley Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 wayne mohamet ran one for a very long time actually, and they make proper 26" hubs, not just the 20" ones! ask wayne about them, he will answer your questions. joE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducko Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 correct i have one in a pieces in my shed you can have it cheap, but the bearings died, the axel snapped twice, the tightener thingys also snapped twice,a pawl snapped... if you dont mind the above it just needs new axel and spring and pawl then it will work 20quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urpedigreechumdog Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Not worth the risk IMO, a bmx hub on stock with inevitably break sooner or later. What about getting a second hand king? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, why bother the fuss really? Just go Echo or wait for Hope, should'nt be long now. Kieron :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
