wow profile so innovative!

What was the problem of Profile hubs again? Yeah it was the hubs slipping in the dropouts instead of the huge amount of wobble!

Seems like a decent idea. I had a set of profile hubs on my last bike and they were great. Looking forward to purchasing another set for a new build I'm working on.

Wobble sucks, but was easy to fix.

I never had the slipping issue you mention.

But man, motherfuck the skipping.  Maybe I need new pawls or something.

Haha, I've had wobble on 3 pairs, the last pair I said fuck it, bored out the cones to the same dia as the internal axle never wobbled ever again still running the same set 2 years later perfecto ! But yeah they really should rework there tolerances its pretty sad since the customer has to "fix" them to get them to run properly.

So I had this issue where it looks like the driver was being forced into the hubshell, and the driver shim was crazy dished in and was digging into the driver bearing.  It started when I switched to Plegs and BSD hubguards, so my guess is that the loading on the peg was compressing the peg, hubguard and aluminum axle and smashing shit into the driver.

I switched to the steel female axle.  I expect that it won't deform as much as the aluminum and should sort this shit. It also doesn't seem to wobble (yet).

In retrospect, ya. You're right.  It made sense at the time.
I think I just wanted to brag on my shiny new steel axle.

Well, it's good information about issues people were having with profile hubs that were not addressed for 2015. Pretty sure that's exaxtly what the thread is about.

Profile hubs are dog shit, yet still I want another set. When they're good they're good. When they're not they ain't.

I switched to steel female axles, two sets of driver springs and the newer serrated spacers. I don't really have any issues with my madera hubs anymore except that they are loud as shit.

I also chose not to use them again on my new bike.  I just got Tree Hubs.
