Wethepeople BMX – Supreme Cassette Hub

July 12, 2017

Let’s take a look at the Supreme Cassette hub from Wethepeople…

Although the Freecoaster has become a dominant choice for BMX riders over the past few years, there are still a large number of riders who are still putting their cassette hubs to good use. There are even a number of riders switching back to cassette from what we have been seeing. Either way, Wethepeople have offered their Supreme Cassete Hub for a while now and it has held true to being a reliable hub that gets the job done. The crew at Wethepeople have given the hub an upgrade and it now comes with injection molded nylon / fiberglass hub guards stock to help ensure you’re able to protect the hub from all the grinds. They’ve put a feature up on their website giving you all the specs, details and an indepth look at the hub right here — Out In The Open – Supreme Cassette Hub

It’s that time again! Profile Racing have just announced their next colorway option that will be dropping July 13th! Here’s a look at the Ricky Moseley “Swell” colorway that looks pretty amazing.

Each of the items will be available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing worldwide, and direct from the Profile Racing webstore starting July 13th, so if you’re digging this color, get ready… We have a feeling these will go fast!

Madera V2 Cassette Build In Under A Minute

July 3, 2017

Have you ever wondered how a hub is assembled? Anyone who has been riding BMX long enough has probably taken a hub or two apart in their time, but usually it’s just to clean the driver or bearings, not fully taking the hub completely apart. What you might not know is that each and every hub that Madera produce is hand built at the Profile Racing warehouse down in Florida. Below is a quick video showing you each and every step that goes into building the V2 Cassette from parts to a complete hub. If you’re a product nerd, you’re going to love this.
