it is between this or a profile hub. now i know profile is a trusted name from what you guys have posted on here, but i like to try new things or take the road less traveled by others...so any feed back on these?

There's probably a reason for why I've never seen a pair of those in my life.

No. Profile's warranty guys are terrible, and their hubs are overpriced. I'd just get an Odyssey hub.

Most especially if you plan on doing anything other than rollers and gate snaps.

Profile, then Primo then Odyssey Hubs...

I like the Shadows hubs, but there not for racing...neither are the Primos..for that matter



So i think the real battle is between Odyssey Race hubs and Profile hubs...

profiles not as good as people say. i ran one for a week. it's not smoother, and it's heavier than my odyssey. the flanges bend pretty easy too
