for real. sure they were mtb ones?dexter said:not true i have seen gold and red buds from profile
cool thanks manDeep in Cider said:I looked into Anti-Freeze Green Profile MTB hubs a few months back... They said they would cost an extra $25? each and take 6 weeks to get. Can't remember the exact figure but they did say they would do them...
I stand corrected. Silly me, I thought that by checking out Profile's web site I might get accurate information regarding colors. Oh well.dexter said:not true i have seen gold and red buds from profile
I should imagine Profile originally offered alternate colours to friends.scottjustscott said:I stand corrected. Silly me, I thought that by checking out Profile's web site I might get accurate information regarding colors. Oh well.
i started this thread to inquire about a part i do not own. what are you talking about?Boxxer said:Why not just take parts to an anodizer if you want one off or different colors.
Ofcourse. Its trick to have a couple of parts custom ano'd and matching.Bicyclist said:But then you'd have to take the hub apart so you would give them the shell only.
middleburn just stopped doing one. it was a lightweight hub that had conversion cups.dexter said:or if you want a sweet 20mm non disc hub check out ebay for an old gt (haldey made them) one. cheap and bombproof. the one i had originally in 96 with the frist year boxxer is still ticking on my buddies dj bike and it has never been serviced and spins like butter
Yep, but quite often the anodizers want a minimum charge for the run, so unless they're already doing a run of the color you want and they don't mind adding another part, you might get stuck paying $$$ for it.Boxxer said:Im saying. If you want a color not otherwise avail from profile racing. Just take it to an anodizer and pick the color you want. Period.
He answered itBTW. I talked with Profile today about some hubs for a personal project and they take color requests at an additional charge and about a 3 week wait.
So, to answer your first question. <snip>
Incidentally, I don't get the fetish with expensive front hubs. It's two bearings, a body and a sleeve. Why pay so much? Most any cheap front hub will hold up just fine.Stoked said:just got a quote from profile. a 20mm non disc hub in red anno is $150. said it would take 2 weeks. thats fast so im not sure about that but thats what they said. im leaning towards getting it
