heyllo there, well the thing is i got in to trials after i got bored of Dirt Jumping, and 2 of my mates used profile hubs(on a 26inch bike) now that im in to trials i was wondering can i run a profile hub on my onza zoott, the reason being i have heard that it wont work rigght but i dont understand how, so if anyone has the time could they explain the art of the profile hub and how it 'only' :unsure: works on a mod or bmx!!!!!

cheers

right,

a profile hub will only run on a bike with a rear end of 116mm spacing

i.e mod or the new 26"mod.

Standard 26" bikes have a rear end of 135mm spacing and so do onza zoots

if you are wanting to spend 160 on profile for your zoot then just get a hope pro 2

awesome hubs and very reliable

hope that helps (Y)

Right, Zoot has 135mm spacing. Profiles are 112mm spacing I think. Not 116. 116mm is only used because you use a 110mm hub with 2 3mm snail cams, making up the other 6mm. Most BMX's run 110mm dropouts. I don't know why profiles are 112mm in that case, but apparently they just are. So bare with me.

Anyway, you can make them fit pretty easily, all you have to do is put a 6.5mm spacer on each side of the hub to space it out to fit in the wider dropouts. Easy enough.

As said above though. Could just get a Pro 2 trials.
