  • 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.

    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?
