    Got one today from profile racing.
    Orange Profile hub + ti spindle (so freaking sexy!).
    Weighs 540grams including (Ti) bolts, washers, and bearings.
    Koxx one reinforce is over 700 grams + bearings.

    Got the Magnutanium crank arms as well.
    145mm, 330 grams. Strong.

    Whole assembly weighs less than 900g.

    Crankset cost me $490US shipped. I think this is comparible with a
    Triton frame, but for the hubset😉 .

    My cromo one (which I sadly destroyed through neglect), was $450 from
    bedford two years ago. I think I got ripped off major. If you want a
    set, contact profile... don't go through a middle man. Profile offers
    many different colored hubshells, so you can go wild.

    Pics will be up when I get the rest of my uni built up.

    What is this Magnutanium you speak of?

    From what I gathered on Profile's website, it's just a thinner walled
    CrMo crankset with a hollow Titanium spindle. Obviously the spindle
    part being excluded because you only bought the cranks.

    I'm curious to know how much weight savings you gain?

    How long did it take to order the setup, was Profile ready to ship
    immediately? I've noticed their web site makes no reference to unicycle
    hubs.

    Just because you are not suffering from paranoia doesn't mean that they

    Sounds sweeet 🙂

    And nice weight. Will save about 200-300g.

    With this hub+cranks and the magnesium rim a uni under 4,5 kg should be
    possible 🙂

    Took three days for them to make it and another four for it to get
    here.
    A normal profile crankset is a little more than 1200grams. This is 890.

    Tensiles... i already bent them.

    I'm not quite sure why everyone is so hyped up about isis.

    Sure, it is a great idea and I am all for a universal spline system,
    but the actual spline design makes for a weaker link between the hub
    and the cranks.
