Profile Racing Hub History Photogallery
Drawing Board: Profile Cassette Hub
BMX bikes have come a long way over the past 20-30 years, from rattling 1 Inch Threaded Headsets and shin searing Beartrap Pedals to investment-cast Dropouts and Pivotal Seats. Along the way there have been several products which have been instrumental to the improvement of our bikes, and at the top of that list is the Profile Cassette Hub. 15 years ago the guys at Profile took a technology used on high-end road bikes and used it to create, what is still to this day one of the most reliable and functional Bicycle Hubs in existence. This week I catch up with Profile Racing‘s Matt Coplon and Corey Alley to find out more about the beginnings and background story one of the most iconic products in BMX. After you check out the interview, don’t forget to check out the PHOTOGALLERY showing you the history of Profile’s hubs!
Sneak Peek: Mutant Bikes – Peg / Guard Combo
Mutant Bikes have been developing this peg and hub guard combo for about three years now. This isn’t the first time I’ve had the chance to see this, but it’s probably your first. Basically, this peg can be run on non-drive and drive side without having to mess with your hub at all. No stretching your frame or having a wobbly hub. This even protects your drop outs better.
The peg isn’t done just yet, but nearing going into product. Here’s a few words below from Nuno about the peg. All I know is I’d like to try some out.
“I have been working on this guard conneted to the peg in about 3 years now. Design, test, redesign, test and so on… this is what makes you feel good when you have to do a brand of bikes, the challenge of develop/creating things… This is not the final product, but this hubguard is practically perfect, a few more adjustments to the final prototype and is ready. The peg in this picture is not the final one…”
