moto trials rules Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 most people would say king is better but i recently got a profile and its lush. i have only ever heard of one going badly wrong but many kings skiping plus profiles sounds betterprofile in my opinionJoey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Considering you are riding mod I would recommend a profile, they offer solid, reliable engagement, come in some nice colours and arent all that expensive either. Chris kings are nice, but they do require a little more maintenance. Its not hard maintaining them, just a little clean up and lube every month or so (depending on where/how you ride). I run a chris king on my stock and its mint, my gaps improved because of the engagement and it looks and feels just right for me. It has skipped a few times minorly, once because I put too much oil in it, so that was my error, not the hubs. So yeah;Stock-Chris kingMod-Profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Dale Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've ran both Profile and King on my MODI can saftly say i prefer the King to the profile far more. It just feels loads better to do stuff on and it has never skipped and its just been the perfect hub in all the time i've had it :)If you got the money and the patience to ben a king in then get the king but you can also send the King to Adam @ Tarty and he will work his magic and it just will never slip simple as that...
