A cone broken off somebodys' Profile Fixed Hub. And these were supposed to be some burly American-made hubs from a respected BMX brand, yeah? Ok, of course stuff sometimes breaks, especially if abused, but still this makes me wonder a bit about their design...
From here.
Better the $10 cone snapping than the flange cracking. Profile's new proper 3/8" axles solve this problem. It's a learning process...
ReplyDeleteI've snapped 3 cones.
now are these cracking from abusive riding or from over-torquing the bolts?
ReplyDeleteWhat? No shitstorm? You already forgot that H+S rim fiasco you instigated some time ago?
