Robwalker Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Deff hope XC matt, my mate max has gone through countless amounts of profile hubs, there just not made for stocks, or 24" as i come to think of it, i remember a rider in folkstone buggered one, not worth the hastle, ride the XC, sell the profile and get a pro trials Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Profiles are for BMX's/Mods. So the spacing would be different compared to a 24" or 26". Unless you change something on it to make it fit properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm sure Todge spaced his out, then the hubshell snapped. Not worth the hassle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) Profiles are for BMX's/Mods. So the spacing would be different compared to a 24" or 26". Unless you change something on it to make it fit properly?I'm sure Todge spaced his out, then the hubshell snapped. Not worth the hassle..Ime sure profile make a hub for stocks. But yes todge was running a 20" one and the hub shell ripped appart. Or if you still dont belive me check the profile website.As said you could problie sell bouth wheels so you could afford a pro2 but if you not going big I can't see what problems your going to get from a 26" profile hub.But why do people think profiles are so bad on stocks ?

011001000110010101110010 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 The internals on a mod/bmx (110mm) profile are the same as on a stock (135mm) profile. They will last, people who destroy them are doing something wrong. There will always be people who screw up hubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
