- The Mini cassette hub by Profile Racing seems to have been around since the dawn of BMX. It is one of the most well-known hubs on the market, very desirable, ton of options and a great loud hub sound. I'm going to give you my opinion on the amazing Profile Mini cassette hub...

I just bagged a second hand set for £180 well happy with that!
Good deal!
@@stuartgibson until I realised I needed new driver, springs & pawls and then realised the shim between the driver and the bearing was missing too. either way they are mint now and total I think I’m £280 in the hole but I have a bloody good set of wheels that should last for a long time 🤞🏻
I just bought one I’m gonna lace it to a G-Sport Ribcage rim
Lucky you! Sounds like a good setup!
I’m about to do that too
@@stuartgibson I cracked my odyssey areospace rim, idk how long it was cracked, but gonna do profile elite front hub and profile mini cassette, both in matte black :) it’s my dream build since I was a kid, goes to show dreams do come true kids
I am planning to get a profile mini ss hubset and don’t know what specs for the front and rear hub to get for it. Got any idea what I should get?
Depends on your riding style really. The front hub is good right out of the box, the only choices you have are the style of bolts you'd want or if your budget permits titanium bolts. However if you are rough with riding pegs you want to stay away from titanium. Same thing goes for the rear hub, lots of guys run them stock with the female bolts in whatever style they want. I really like the 17mm hex bolts because you can tighten those down easily. Personally I went for a 14mm axle, I do lots of peg stuff I want it to be a bit beefier.
Just bought my front and rear 😬👌🏼
Luis Gonzalez awesome! Have fun!
Stuart Gibson will do thanks!
For how much
BL Manito i think it was 350$ all together
I just got one on my 29 cult devotion, but it isnt so loud???
It depends on a lot of different factors, when it's brand new it generally isn't very loud no
I am looking into getting one would you get the hub shims instantly with it or not? Like do they wobble right out of the box or does it take some time
I hope you won’t ever need the hub shims! Personally I’ve never needed them although I have had to install them on a friends hub. The wobble (if it happens at all) happens over time not right out of the box. You either get it or you don’t.
@@stuartgibson ordered my wheels today super stoked
@@f_d_l_r1273 awesome! Good choice!
Dude could you do a review on the shadow definitive cassette hub?
If someone would send me one I could haha
Have you checked out the flybikes magneto hub?
I have not no! Will gladly do so if Flybikes would send me one 😉
@@stuartgibson have a P.O. Box?
@@stuartgibson i can loan you mine for review. It's sick. Are you in USA?
Hi Stu!, are you moving on with the Honda CX 500 build or was just bla, bla, bla?, just wonder
Hey! It’s moving but moving very slowly tho! The to-do list is getting smaller, got some major stuff to do like the tank that needs a special treatment to clean the inside. Just covid making life a bit difficult atm
That hub was so expensive...😔...
It has lasted me for a very long time, so worth the money in my opinion!
@@stuartgibson Which is your favorite? and you know if the new Colony Wasp Lite is any good?
The Profile Mini hub will always be my favourite. I did a video on the original Colony Wasp hub, had some issues with it towards the end but lasted me over a year and a half! Never seen a Lite version before.
@@stuartgibson So you prefer it more than the profile elite? Why tho? Would really appreciate your insight as I will be getting either one tomorrow.
Good question, the elite is the better hub in my eyes, rides great and I love the direct engagement but it is more expensive in general even for possible repairs and it is heavier as well. When out on the streets of a city the elite is also not very discreet. So yes the elite is better but I like the mini more overal.
Spokes size please?
I think I went for 184mm or 182 drive side and 186 non driveside
@@stuartgibson because I have 182 hazzar lite rims and profile mini hubs. so it can be used for sure.
My g how loud would it be when it degreased and bent springs cuz I currently on a elite but too heavy wanna light hub for my park build
Well I'd say how loud it is is irrelevant. You want the best riding experience right?
@@stuartgibson i want the best riding experience but I love to make people mad by breaking their ears with a loud hub lol
If you want to feel important in the world, help others solve problems.@@veganactivitiesrbesexual7826
is it loud , i want a hub to stand out anywhere i go like skate park or dirt jumps is it lound enough or is there a big difference in loudness beetween elite and mini ?
Elite will stand out by far, the amount of noise but mostly the sound itself is very different
How did you get the smaller male axle
How do you mean the smaller one?
@@stuartgibson like shorter so it doesn’t stick out as much
@@bradenwysocki6514 this is a stock axle I bought from Profile years ago. The new ones are indeed a lot longer but I cut those down now.
profile is the rolls royce of bmx, i didn't wanna buy it coz of the price but i said fuck it i'm only buying it once so why not spend a little more and put every other hub to shame, i also uploaded a high quality hub sound on my channel if anybody is interested in hearing it
