Dave! Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 There isnt a trials profile hub...its a racing bmx hub which means its lighter and runs 10mm axel, so people use them for trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 There isn't a trials specific Profile hub. Most common are the Profile Mini cassette hubs, which is what I have. It's smaller than the 'normal' bmx one, so it's lighter, and also uses a female axle with 10MM bolts.Very good hubs, although the bearings can break fairly easy. There's another bmx hub called a Primo Mix, which is the same as the Profile inside, but it uses stronger roller bearings, which you wont break.

(driver & axle wise)Keep in mind Profile & King are racing designed. Eno however is trials designed, along with various freewheels. I also feel that unless you need rear drive then avoid these.

Dan6061 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Primo Mix is very different to the Profiles. (driver & axle wise)Sorry, I did rush through that reply. I meant the pawl and springs are the same, from what I've seen from my mate's one on his BMX. I'm sure I've seen some in a female axle for racing? Not 100% on that. I didn't realise they have fixed drivers! Ignore what I said then, I thought they were more similar than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 arn't chris king and profile hubs both bmx? nickYou can get a BMX king, but king hubs tend to be aimed at XC riders etc.Profile hubs are aimed at bmx riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
