Profile Mini Cassette Hub Review + Sound
Ойын-сауық
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...

@@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

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.
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.

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.
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
