    Hi everyone.

    My onza hub and cranks have been creaking a bunch lately, so I've
    decided it's about time to look for some profiles. Does anyone have a
    used or new profile hub (trials size [145mmcranks] preferably, but
    longer cranks will do) they could sell me? I'd also buy a wheel if
    someone would prefer to sell a wheel whole. I'm currently saving all my
    money towards CMW and TOque, so I can't afford a new hub from uni.com.
    I'll be at Cal Muni Weekend, so I'd be willing to do the transaction
    there.

    Please, if you have a used profile hub (or wheel) you'd like to sell me,
    with any size cranks, e-mail me at onewheeler (at) gmail (dot) com as
    soon as you can, since it'd be nice to do this transaction at CMW if
    you'll be there. If you won't be at CMW, please allow me a little bit of
    time to reply, since I'll be at CMW from Thursday night to Sunday night,
    so I won't have access to my e-mail.

    Thanks for reading.

    Cheers,
    Bevan

    Is it creaking because the cranks are slipping on the splines or is it
    creaking because the axle is slipping in the hub body?

    If the axle is slipping in the hub you may be able to fix it. I just
    epoxied my Profile muni hub because the axle was slipping in the hub
    body. It is holding up so far. The CA Muni Weekend will be a test to
    see if it holds.

    The process wasn't too hard. I'll post pictures of the process after
    the CA Muni Weekend. I would suspect that fixing the Onza hub would be
    similar. Press out the axle, apply epoxy, press the axle back in, wipe
    off the excess, then wait for the epoxy to cure.

    I'm 90% sure it's the splines. They're fully anti-seized on the bolt and
    on the splines. The play in the cranks can only be felt in 1 crank at a
    time. So, no, it's not the keyway.

    Noone has a profile hub they want to sell me?

    give up the lame sport. all it really ever does is take me away from my
    family and put me at risk of injury.
