Good find!

Good to see another company seeing the light when it comes to splined sprockets.


And good lord a hub with 200+ engagement pts??? :drool:

The new race hubs are freaking killer. They were one of the most fun things I've played with all year.... I don't think I'd want to use one for freestyle applications though... mucho overkill, and likely a fakie buzzkill.

So simple, they should have come up with this long ago.... It should make using 22mm spindles a lot better too. Some long tube spacers will be in order though. :D

Looks like Tree will have some competition on the spline drive chainwheels now too...

I hope they make a 22 in purple. Need to replace my black Tree with that to match my purple Profile stem, hubs and post clamp.

Also excited about the outboard bearings for my Mob. Both of these additions are awesome.

Has anyone used these yet? I have a Yeti DJ that I have Profile cranks on and I'm tired of the tiny BB bearings. Any worry with running this and a chainguide on ISGC tabs?

Only issue I can think of is spindle length

Yeah, I think Profile says greater than 6". I have a Ti and I think it is a 6", but I need to pull it out and check.

fwiw - if you're running a profile spindle on a mtb, you should be running the 6.5" spindle anyway...
I thought it was wide enough. I used to run it in a DH9.

By the way, my crankset creaks like mad. I have tried grease and anti-seize and it still creaks. I'm running a Profile chainwheel directly on the crankarm if that helps diagnose.
