    i was just wondering...do you need a splined hub for freestyle uni...the
    reason i ask is because when i get my trials i will have a norco uni
    that will just sit there and i could easily buy a flatcrown frame and
    use it for freestlye...whta do you think?

    You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

    Splined hubs for freestyle arent very good i dont think because of the
    extra weight from them.

    the q-factor in splined cranks is also an issue, as well as expense in
    some cases.

    I agree that splined are not necessary for freestyle. Too, cotterless
    is significantly cheaper.

    yea u dont need a splined hub, but you may also need to change the tire.
    like for me i cant glide when theres no grip on the tire and its all
    smooth. i use the maxxis hookworms.
