Profile Racing – Tech Tip: How Many Teeth Do You Need?

February 17, 2017

Since the introduction of the 9-tooth driver way back in 2003, we’ve seen the freestyle side of BMX adopt the 25-9 gear ratio as a bit of the standard, but there are still plenty of options and combinations that can change the way your bike feels, how fast you can go and more. Profile Racing released their latest “Tech Tip” that gives you some insight into how the gearing works and what a few of their riders run for combinations. You can check it all out over on the Profile Racing website — How Many Teeth Do You Need?

What combination do you run on your bike and why? Let us know in the comments below! We would love to hear what you have to say on the subject!

Profile Racing and Native Bikes have teamed up to do a VERY LIMITED run of Mini Hubs wrapped in leather! Above is a promo video featuring Cory Foust crushing it, with a little preview of the hubs. You can get the full scoop below!

“Where: Mostly in Austin, Texas.

When: I’m pretty sure we started filming in like 2013 or 14, I had two jobs at the time and Jeremie also had some stuff going on, so this one has been in the works for a long time.

How: I’m definitely stoked on everything I was able to do for this video. A lot of the stuff I do the most often isn’t always the easiest for me, so some of these took a while. Insanely stoked on the hubs and seat combo from James, and super thankful for this opportunity. Thanks to Profile and Matt Coplon and James Covington for everything!” – Cory Foust

“Five sets of Polished Profile Mini Hubs, wrapped in hand crafted leather by James Covington, now available from your local bike shop.
Thanks to Both Cory and James for help with this collaboration.
Made in the USA.” – Profile Racing
