Onza Kieron Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 What are everyone's opinions on profiles, I was gunna go for a cassette one on my stock, like the 6 speed 135 spacing one, It's all internally the same as the bmx ones, are they decent, worth upgrading from a Hope XC other than the obvious more than double e.p's. P.S sorry to hijack the thread but you have your answer and i'm sure you wanna know how they fair too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewannnn Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) My profile is skipping, but ive only ridden it for about a week, might try getting all the grease out Edited January 4, 2007 by Ewannnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 My Profiles never skipped.Well, not badly anyway. It's slipped before, only when I ride away...I bought it 2nd hand (of Siders) and he says he never serviced it, or anything.. And has been fine. Just to let you know...

Joe_Elding Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've had my profile a year and 4 months now and it hasn't skipped at all. haven't touched it or done anything to it, worked perfect straight out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If max-t wants to post again he will explain, as he has had 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It really depends; some peoples skipped like school-girls while others haven't ever skipped. But normally they will take about a month or so to properly bed in. Mine still skips now and i've had mine for about 2 and a half years, so theres nothing to be worried about...Cheers,Joe.

PaRtZ Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 My profile is awesome. Never skipped after bedding in. I've had to change the driver bearings and the hub bearings once but thats it very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balman Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 jim am i right in thinking all you have done to were your hub in is walk to the top of a hill and roll back down again with no peadling involved because if this is true its not going to do alot you need to be pedaling also and puting force on the peadals not just rolling.hope this helps see you soon mate jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hubs aren't like breaks, there's no special way of bedding them in. The best thing to do is to just ride normally but sticking to fairly small stuff until you trust its bedded in enough. Or alternatively, strip it out and remove the grease for a quick fix.
