Here’s a sneak peek look at Cinema‘s new hubs they are working on. It looks like they used slightly different hub shell bodies and they went with a two piece lock nut / cone spacer on the rear hub which was an issue in the original hub for those of you wanting to run hub guards.
I’ve been running that same back wheel for over a year now and have had no problems. Psyched to see how these turn out.
Spotted on The Merged.
KHE have a fresh new cassette hub in the Greyhound line. This female hub fits a 14mm dropout and is locked down by a 10mm bolt. It features a 118mm inner chromoly axle and a loud cassette. This hub is available in 36 hole with grey for the color and a weight of 12.6986 ounces (360g). The hub includes a 17mm wrench and 8mm allen key.
You can also pick up their matching front hub as well.

“We have another prototype version of our hubs being tested. Earlier this year we tested 14mm 7075-T6 aluminum bolts and center axle in our rear hub. We had good results so now we are giving it a go in the front hub. We have started testing, the hub is very light at 6.3 ounces which is 2.2 ounces lighter than our current front hub with 3/8″ bolts. We are sure it will not only be lighter but also stronger than any front hub using 3/8″ steel axles or bolts.” – Tree
Profile have this new Anti-Freeze colorway for their Mini hubs. They only made 48 sets (40 of the right hand drive and 8 sets of left hand drive) so you are going to have to act fast. For more details hit the Profile website.
Tree Bicycle co just posted pics of the new race and 3/8 versions of their straight pull hubs. The race hub has a 16t tree sproket thread on cog, that looks pretty dang sweet. The 3/8 is going to be for trail, pegless street or park riders. These hubs look pretty nice so head over to Tree for more info and pictures.
The Shadow Conspiracy dropped these new slim bolts for their Raptor front hub. These are for the pegless riders out there looking for a cleaner and lighter bolt option. Weighing in at 0.9 oz. per bolt, with black, crimson red, blue, green and orange for color options. For more photos, hit this link.
Ever since I’ve started riding 10 or so years ago, there has been a brand in BMX that I remember hearing people swear by time and time again. That brand would be Profile Racing. The U.S based brand out of Florida that produces the classic hubs and cranks that have stood the test of time from riders all around the world. I’ve had two sets of these Mini hubs sitting on my desk the past few days and just looking closely at them, it’s no wonder why they have become so popular over the years. I figured it would be pretty cool to take a closer look at these hubs and give you guys a little more insight as to what makes these hubs so special. Let’s take a look…
