No. Profile uses 16tpi for whatever reason, whereas Odyssey and everyone else use 24tpi.

lame. does anybody know where I can get green 24tpi front hub bolts?

Do the tree bolts come in green? if not I don't think there are, unfortunately.

nope no green, god dammit

You might be able to use the profile volcano washers if you can find some green ones, and use 3/8" x 24tpi studs instead of the profile ones. I'm not completely sure they'll fit, but it might be worth a try if you get desperate, haha.

probably 26 or 27.something

Take it to a bikeshop, bikeshop employees usually don't smoke so their sense of smell is better

take your bike to the bike shop and have them show you what size seat post you need?

Put my BMX seat post in and it was a bit too small so I bought a 25.8mm post, that was too big so I just forced it in there. All is well now.

Might be a bitch to get back out

I'll worry about that later.

Anyone ever rawed/polished a rim? I want to do at least my back one, is it hard? I assume it'll be the same as anything, I'll just need a bigger tub? I have Fly rims too so it should be double fun.

I was considering trying this but I decided I wasn't up for rebuilding my wheels. Let us know how it goes though, I might try it eventually too. I would assume just the usual oven cleaner or whatever it is that you prefer to use...

Is it painted or anodized? I'm about to raw some painted rims but thats just going to be a case of Nitro Mors.

Related question: What should I use to protect the metal, if anything?

Nitromors shouldn't do anything to aluminum really, I'd say just clean the rims off real good when you're done to make sure there's no residue or anything.
