  2. It's a splined uicycle hub made by a company called profile. The hub is
    the bit at the centre of the wheel, that all the spokes attach to, and
    on to the ends of which the cranks fit. 4 seconds work on google came
    up with 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/onl2u) picture of one, along with
    matching cranks.

  3. slight correction...the hub and crankset is called profile...the company
    name is poznator. they mostly make bmx and mountain bike stuff but the
    profile hub and crankset has abeen adapted for unis aswell.

  4. Actually i think it's a Poznantor hub by profile. it was named after
    David poznantor who as far as i remember designed it. He also tested it
    and desided on the current model which we all thank him for ! Profile
    is the company and poznantor is the specailty hub!
    cheers

  6. profile makes all sorts of other bike goodies. company = profile. the
    hub has a lifetime warranty and is arguably the strongest one
    available.

  7. the reason its so expensive is becaus of that no hold lifetime
    warrenty...its been said that the nes KH/Onza hub/cranks are justa s
    strong if not stronger...and definately lighter..profiles weigh a ton.

  10. I would like to see 2 unicycles with the same set-up, except for the
    hubs, one will have profiles, the others will have KH. Get a rider to
    do the testing, and put each one through the same tests, like drops to
    flat, with and then without a good roll-out, doing some street.

    Then at the end of the testing, tell us how each one stood up, i think
    that would end some questions about the hubs, but raise so many more
    lol

    I think they would both hold out just fine. From what I've heard, it
    takes more than a couple drops to break either one (like a zillion
    drops, or one drop off an outhouse).

  13. I dont think kh/onza is stronger I think it's about as strong tho.. but
    it's prooven that the kh hub makes a way better wheel build(stronger
    wheel)
