I wouldn't have bought profiles before because the old axle was weak as fuck, and people were snapping them left right and centre, but the new one looks excellent, goldtecs are good, but shop14's hubs are basically an expansion on the goldtec design with everything beefed up where it needs to be for tricks, i'm pretty sure Ted designed and tested them quite extensively too.
However, my Goldtecs handled an amazing amount of abuse without so much as a whiff of wear and tear, they are more than up to the job, so I can't complain!
Not many track-hubs would handle the kind of abuse I dish out, and Ted was rocking Goldtecs for a year or so with no problems.... :)
