Profile Unicycle Hub and 145mm cranks for Trials REQUEST!

Unicycles and Equipment

Hi everyone, I’ve been riding for a few months, been into biketrials longer, right now I have a standard Koxx Devil except I have a 2004 Kris Holm wheel- KH rim, KH oldskool hub, Qu-Ax 127mm cranks…

I am getting a Profile wheelset from a friend very very cheap, as I love longer cranks. I was just wondering if anyone could post what they thought of the Profile wheelset? Just a few questions :):

  1. How quick did it take you to bend/break the 145mm cranks?
  2. Has anyone managed to break the hub somehow?
  3. Can you replace the axle on the Profile uni hub?
  4. What size allen key does the crankset use? (I know its a special american size, but not sure which one)
  5. Did you have to grind off the threaded-hole on the right hand crank that is supposed to take a racing chainring… in order to fit your uni frame? (I’m using a Devil, so not sure if it needs grinding off or not :s)

A friend of mine bent his right hand Profile crank in a week of riding, he doesn’t recommend me them for trials, but he had to grind off the threaded-hole section on the right hand crank to be ride it on his KH 2005 Trials frame… He’s probs too mad a rider, he is about an inch or two off Kris Holm’s sidehops to tyre, using the handle… He also snapped a KH 2005 trials frame the other day, snapped a KH-Onza splined hub on the axle, bent 127mm and 140mm KH-Onza cranks within a few days of each, and many many more :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, enough of this essay, please could you all post your opinions to this hubset, and possibly answer the questions if you can. Any help would be sincerely appreciated :). Oh and have a great Easter everyone!

teh profile hib and crankset is amzing…its the strongest hub and cranks in production at the time. and if you bend or break the cranks or hub they will replac it for free(i wouldnt tell your friend that) so i say buy it from him and thenif the cranks are that bad. contact poznater and tell them of the problem and they will ask you to send back the defectice cranks and they will send you brand new ones.

dude who is your friend and how much does he weigh?

Wait so what does your friend recommend for trials? It sounds like he has destroyed everything…But yeah, profile is probably the best right now, KH/onza has been rumored to be a close match but noone really knows for sure, the profiles have the warrenty too.

It has not been proven that it is the strongest out, there is no good way to test this. One reason why alot of people like them is because of the lifetime warranty.

They will ONLY replace the cranks. Even this is under certain circumstances (remember in Defect, when Justin Khose broke his crank clean off? They didnt replace it).
