Profile Fixed Hubs

Not in that shop!
It's skateboards, BMXs and Snowboards

the profile hubs have an odd chainline.

How do you mean exactly dt?

another toy bike.

don't kid yourself.

i'm not. i like it. even the pink wheels. never would have guessed fbm would make a track frame.

How do you mean exactly dt?

the chainline on profile hubs is 45mm not 42mm

so whats the deal with running those profile bmx cranks on a track bike? nightmare? 42mm chainline? i see MAX has em.

mine are coming with my frame, woohoo!! $US250

i've got some as well, when i set them up flush without the end cap it was 43mm, i'll have to run another washer.

I used to, the single bolt chainring fastening is a pain in the ass.
Though the solution is available courtey of tree bicycles - It's just a shame their largest chainring is a 39.

The thing that drives me the most nuts about the profile hubs is that each side has a different chainline ("44mm fixed, 47mm free"). Why, oh why? And neither of them are even standard chainlines. RRRAAAAAGH!

Also, as a hub aimed pretty squarely at the fixed gear freestyle / MASH SF crowd making it fixed/free seems a little odd. Ninety-nine percent of these hubs will probably end up on brakeless fixed gears. And even if they don't, you can still run a freewheel on a fixed thread without problem. RRRRAAAAGH!

I love the design aesthetic, and dig the HUGE bearings. I just wish they were fixed/fixed 42mm chainline (so they play nice with all the rad NJS and vintage stuff the mash crowd likes).

Cool breakdown of the hubs.

g blouse! not hard to run a wider BB.

Yep I thought that when I saw them why the different chain line for each side macke the flip flop impractical and why the fixed free?

what is the solution?

a magic spell.

get back to work

you get back to work.

There was a time, about a year ago or so, when having a fixed/free hub was a good thing. In many parts of the world, it still is a good thing, because it gives you options. When we designed our hub, we determined that the initial offering should be fixed/free to appeal to the widest amount of people.

Fixed/Fixed Hubs will be available towards the middle of summer or fall.

good news

what is the solution?

tree splined chainring! ;)

mine 36T was £54

Oh and I lied, 36 is the largest tooth count.

Damn you dogs!

Object's picture shows the I-beam section much better.. win.
It is a bad-ass chainring in the flesh.
