Profile Racing – Mini Front Hub Assembly

April 19, 2017

Take a look at how a Profile Racing Mini front hub goes together!

Have you ever wondered how the Profile Racing Mini front hub goes together? Here’s a short but sweet video where Gus quickly puts together one of these hubs for your viewing pleasure. It’s pretty basic and goes together A LOT faster with the help of a press, but it’s still worth a look. Hit that play button and take a look at how it all works from the first bearing going in to the bolts to keep it all tight!

“Profile’s Gus Lanzilotta walks you through a complete build on a Front Profile Mini Hub (same application applies to a Profile Elite and Madera Pilot Front Hub).

We hope this helps.”

Profile Racing – Tech Tip: Difference Between Mini and Elite Drivers

March 17, 2017

By now, you’re well aware of Profile Racing‘s classic Mini hubs and their Elite hub that would attract a swarm of bees from the sound. What you probably don’t know is that Profile Racing were the first to engineer a cassette hub for BMX, which ultimately allowed for all of us to run a 9 or 10-tooth driver on the majority of rear wheels today. What you might not know is what the difference is between the drive the Mini hub uses and the driver that the Elite hub uses. The difference is 156 points of engagements and two more pawls. For their latest Tech Tip, Profile have decided to explain the differences and talk about how the pawls are different for each driver. This is a pretty interesting piece to check out if you’re a product or design nerd. Take a peek at it all right here — Tech Tip: What Drives You

Profile Racing – How To Install A BMX Stem, Headset and Fork

March 9, 2017

We have been really stoked on all of the How To videos that have been coming out to explain proper bike maintenance. The crew at Profile Racing just released this new video explaining the proper steps to install a BMX headset, fork and stem on your bike. Now, this isn’t rocket science by any means, but it’s an important thing for any BMX rider to know how to do. This video covers the proper steps from placing the headset cups in, spacers needed for the stem and how to properly tighten everything down.

One thing they don’t cover in this video is how to cut down a fork if you prefer to run fewer spacers. That is something that is a little more advanced and requires either pipe cutters or a metal saw, but advised against since in some cases it can cause you to screw up your fork or even void your warranty. Let’s just focus on what this video covers, though.

“We here at Profile use Deco FuForks along side Deco Headsets.
Accompanied with Profile’s Push Stem, let Gus Lanzilotta run you through the proper install.”

“Right after interbike, Jared and Devin Eberwein hosted Gervais Rousseau and Alexis Desolneux during a long weekend in the SoCal desert. The goal was to hit as many iconic spots as possible. Along the way, we met up with Mike Saavedra, Chris Rivers, John Stafford, and Vince Kroff.
