Profile Racing – Tech Tip: 19mm VS 22mm Cranks

October 5, 2017

Thinking about getting a new set of cranks, but you aren’t sure if you should run 19mm or 22mm spindle?

This weeks Tech Tip from Profile Racing takes a look at the difference between their classic 19mm Race Cranks and their 22mm Column cranks and what size you should run based on your riding style and preference. This talks about a few of the Pros and Cons of both sizes and gives you examples of what each the riders on their team run for cranks. You can check out the tech tip on the Profile Racing Website!

One thing they don’t cover in this is the 24mm crank arm size that a few brands also offer. This size has been pretty commonly looked at as overkill for many riders, but there are a bunch of guys out there that could benefit from that larger size as well. Either way, 19mm, 22mm and 24mm are all options. 19mm is the most common and 22mm being the second most common option for the riders that are harder on cranks.

What do you run? Let us know what size and why in the comments below!

Profile Racing – Tech Tip: Z-Coaster Support Bearing

September 8, 2017

This weeks tech tip from Profile Racing has arrived. This time around we get a short but sweet video from Matt Coplon where he explains why the Support Bearing on their Z-Coaster hub spins freely in the hub shell! Pretty interesting. Take a peek!

“While on the Maiden America Shop tour in 2017, a question was brought to our attention on the ZCoaster outer support bearing.

Why does that bearing spin inside the ZCoaster shell?
Is it supposed to do that?
And is that bad?

To answer your question, it’s part of the design and completely normal.
Here’s a quick tutorial. Let us know if this helps?”
