profiles are in no way the "lightest" hub. but they are built rock solid.

gran compes spin like butter for the price, best bang for the buck is formula. when the stock bearings crap out replace em with phil bearings and you have a budget phil hub ad a fraction of the weight.

 

i ate **** pretty badly the other day and my rear wheel took a beating. how do you fix a loose/wiggly hub? or does it need replacing?

 

well profiles are lighter than phil hubs, and slightly less than dura ace. Suzue pro max and pro max carbon are both heavier than the dura ace, so Im not sure which is lighter than the profile..

 

the numerous low flanges (dura-ace, campy record), american classics, chubs. if you really look they can easily be found. the ones you named were all high flanges

phils are notorious for being heavy

 

oh, I dont even think about low flange rear hubs cause i think they look horrible.

 

tisk tisk, why so close minded ? haha

ps. njs frames look fugly with deep profile rims =OP

 

thats true, but every non deep rim just looks the same to me .. I get bored easy. I think Im selling my ellipses soon though , Ive always been in love with Suzue pro max disco hubs , so I might build them up, bladed spokes, not sure which rim.

 

I rode this for like 2 weeks, its cool, but im kinda done riding it . 120 shipped if anyone wants it. One of the more rare concor's.

 

price range you're lookin to sell the mavic's for?

 

something like 350 shipped.

I cant decide which I like more..

disco pro max


1 of 1 pink dura ace

 

niether haha.

but the promax come in two models. one loose ball and the other sealed bearings.

but the d-a hubs spin for DAYS. id prefer the classic silver and black tho

 

theres someone local selling a nos set of the pro max, but i want 32h, i have a feeling the pro max's are 36, so thatll make my decision for me . Nothing Id say beats the ellipses, but I get bored of things and like odd parts .

 

Got my rollers in this morning. so much fun. took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to stay on the thing but after that I pretty much got it. Can do it no handed too haha

97 gsrski, now that you can do no handed, practice one footed no handed.

stretchy stretch, did you know the previous owner or did you jus buy it from him ? cause he put A LOT, i mean A LOT of miles on that bike.

 

one footed no handed on a roller? what's the point in that?

 

just makes life that much less boring when you cant ride outside because its raining.

 

yea i wouldn't be surprised if that aluminum was mad dented under those stickers. his seat post collar appears broken as well. wtf?

 

I was thinking about those the other night while doing a group night ride. It's about 17-20 of us that do night rides on Wednesdays, 30 miles ride. A lot of fun. Those would be nice since out ride is at night.

I do most of my riding at night.

 

i think it would give my friends seizures. lol

 

Yeah , Im sure there would be a few people to laugh at it , but then want one too haha . When its moving fast, I think it looks kinda cool, and for sure people would see you at night.

 

almost got iced today. Stupid lady was turning left and looking right? Was scary...

 

^ Holy raver bike batman!!

97gsrki, what kind of rollers/for how much did you end up getting? I actually came to the thread to catch up and see if anyone had any suggestions on rollers, itchin for someting to work on my spinning once rainy season starts here.

P.s. gotta get up in five hours and head out to this (After riding a 40 mile round trip commute + critical mass + 8 hours of peddicabbing last night...ughh):



Off to the sack on that note...
