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.
