do any of you have any personal experience with this hub? (not intending to race) have you rode a bike with it? what do you think?

Are you referring to a 3-speed hub or one of their hubs with 3-piece axles?

3 speed cassette hub i guess you'd call it. this one:

http://www.profileracing.com/webstore/images/hub3spdcas.jpg

also, whether i got this or just a single speed profile hub; are profile hubs considered to be one of the best out there?

do riders often switch their cog for different tracks? are they easier to change than a MTB (not that they're hard) or is it the same?

thanks

*quickly checks sisters playlist*

The song in your sig is, Running up that hill. By Unknown Artist. I'm gonna go with Kate Bush, Because she also has some others by her, and they sound similar.

It also depends on whether you have a freewheel or a casset. The casset is (I find) A bit easier to change on a bmx them mtb because your only putting on 1 ring, not three and a big group of them.

Profile is known for quality products. I don't imagine that the range on that is worth the hassle though, especially if your frame has short stays.

It plummets even further down when a forum moderater uses "it's" in palce of what should be "its". What a sad sad day.

Too bad you misspelled "place" and "moderator", in addition to forgetting to place a comma between "sad" and "sad".

I am not a moderator, I don't have to be perfect. :p :D

No one said I had to be perfect either.

I did. If you are not perfect than the system is flawed. It'll be okay, I will let Neo know.

Whatever. I fell asleep in the first 5 minutes of The Matrix, so I don't really know what you're on about.

Fell?

Brian

Fell. Don't make me change it in your quote to, so you look silly. I got up early, rode my bike to work in the blazing heat, then rode back across town in the heat to a farewell family picnic. Then I rode home in the heat, uphill, so that I could continue packing. I'm posting on 2 computers, as I just packed one up. So sorry if I make the ocassional typo when I'm on my laptop.

By the way, it's "bearing".

Sorry man, I didn't mean to sound like a dick or anything. I was just joking around.

Hmmm, I knew that never looked right when I was typing it. "bearing"...I will remember now.
