  3. most people wait more than an hour to expect a response from a message
    board. i'd probably go for the profiles just because of the lifetime
    warranty. though i'd love to get my hands on a koxx, especially because
    it has ISIS. so, it's close but personally i'd get profiles.

  4. The Koxx is freakishly light, lighter than anything else on the market.
    Depends what exactly what you want to do, i wouldn't grind the Koxx
    cranks becasue they are solid alloy and i think they would wear quite
    heavily, as supposed to the profile steel cranks which i doubt would
    wear atall, but this is just my guesses, i don;t have nay actual
    experience either way. The profile looks stronger but Yoggi has done
    huge drops, presumably on the devil as he is a koxx rider. For trials,
    unless you're going to be doing stuff bigger than let's say 6 ft i'd go
    with the Koxx, it's just as good and a lot lighter, and i think alot
    cheaper, and it is ISIS so you can diferent cranks for it.

  5. also, the koxx hub is one piece. No worries about things getting sloppy.
    Wich is something the profile warrenty does not cover.

  6. i have the koxx 1 hub and cranks, i grind all the time and the koxx 1
    cranks have held up fine, they're scratched all over but so were my old
    kh cranks. i would personally go with koxx 1 cranks over profiles,
    because i hate long cranks (anything over 127mm is long) hate q factor,
    and and the koxx 1 stuff is lighter.

  8. Koxx One all the way, i have the same set up as anthony and i love it,
    iv got a summit frame on it and the weight loss from the hub and cranks
    makes up for hte heavness of the frame. I also grind alot on these and
    they only scratch as much as my profiles, also another reason to love
    them is they are straight cranks but they are nubless, not like the kh
    04 with tiny nubs, ther are NO NUBS, perfectly straight. Get koxx one.

  9. I have said many times, nothing is perfect. Both systems are good.

    The profiles use known technology, it is good. It does have the problem
    of all streight splines, it wears and requires a lot of mainanance. But
    is solid.

    The Koxx, ISIS. yes good new solid interface. Hub may be solid but due
    to it's constuction causes spokes to break and has a narrow flange....
    wheel stength against hub strength... guess it depends on riding
    technique. Don't worry about grinding, loads of metal on those
    cranks.

    Interesting you are not comparing the Onza/KH, it gives you a stronger
    wheel than the Profile and Koxx. Yes it is still streight spline and
    hence has the problems of any staight spline. Although having said that
    it does have the extracting locking ring fix, so in my opinium is
    better.

    Please remember all splined hubs require a lot of mainance! keep those
    spines in good condition.

    Exactly what I said, the wheel will be stronger on the Onza/KH than any
    other of the splined hubs. This is because of two things the flanges
    are wider apart and made from aluminium. This means that that it is
    less prone to bending and also makes it more rigid.

    and more prone to spoke damage/breakage during flatland tricks,

    Yeah but your cranks are more likely to blow up, as is the hub and KH
    rim.

    Profiles cranks are stronger than KH/Onza cranks.
    DX32s and Arrow rims are stronger than KH rims.
    Profile hubs are stronger than Kh/Onza hubs.

    Wow are they. I will have to bow to your obviously greater experience
    and wealth of knowledge, as well as obvious solid research on this
    subject that you must have done to state categorically that this is
    true.

    Thank you for your wise words.
