Kh trials VS Profile !

OK, Ill tell you what I think.

The newer KH trials, are for technical lines, not for going big, true
the design of the hub is about the best design you can get, but the
cranks snap or bend way to easily. The higher q-factor on the KH are
great if you are a technical trials rider.

The profiles, are very spendy, but are better for street and going big,
the warranty isn't great, and as you know, wont replace a lot of the
problems, but at least there is a warranty that can help with some
things.

I would personally go with an 2004 KH hub with Qu-Ax cranks on it,
people really underestimate the strength of those two items together,
but they are very very VERY strong combination.

But if it was just Profiles or the new KH, Get the KH for technical
riding and trials, profiles for more of the street.

P.S. All that info is mianly from Joe Hodges, the destroyer of Unis!!!
Seriously, he has gone through profiles, Koxx, Newer KH's, but he hasnt
broke his set-up of the 2004 KH hub with Qu-Ax cranks.

Actually, somebody else who knows a lot about cranks, is Sponge, on
this forum, just talk to him on MSN. =p

Another vote for Old School KH. They rock. Ive gotten alot of use out of
mine and theyre still running strong. Just keep up on the maintenance
and you'll be very impressed with the strength of this setup.

I would agree kh 05 is pretty weak. I tweaked a set on a 4ft sif drop.
My freind Paavo bent his to hell on a 7 set.

I don't understand how people beand and break cranks so easy. I use
qu-ax and Torker DX and not even the slightest bend or break. True, I
don't "go big" very often, but I've done two 7 stairs and a plenty of 6
foot or so drops, and lots of smaller ones. Maybe it's a matter of
time, I don't know.

that's going to be a bit pricey, but go for it. you'll love the KH
frames(I'm assuming your going to get the new one) theyr all nice and
light and strong.

i reckon if you take a dump on there desk, you're not very likely to
get a warranty ever again. ever.

that would be so cool if you did do that, it would [censored] a lot of people
off though, imagine if someone took a dump on your desk

and profiles sound so problematic...

you listen to profiles? i thought you were supposed to ride on them.

seriously, don't post anything about either brand unless you have
direct experience. otherwise all you're doing is spreading rumor. and
rumors do no good for anyone on these fora.

i've been rocking profiles for years now and haven't had any problems.
they take anything and everything i've thrown at them. my ankles will
break before those cranks do.

i think the kh/ onza cranks are better than qu-ax cranks on flatland!
the qu-ax cranks are thin, but the kh cranks are wide if you
understand.. but maybe the qu-ax cranks have better quality...

i'll probably get shot for saying this, but go for the koxx isis hub and
cranks. you probably wont consider it and everyone will probably bag
them.

based on that, between the kris holm and profiles, i'd say go for the
profiles beacuse of the cranks not being so bendy (going off what i've
heard).

They are supposed to replace the cranks but right now there aren't any
cranks available, they are sold out and Koxx is sold out and by the
looks of things aren't even making anymore.

Yeah I just emailed a quiet reminder to Renegade letting them know I
want my cranks! Hopefully if the distributers get enough heat on them
they will be willing to put some pressure on Koxx to get their asses in
gear.
