Dissected KH Hub

Interesting. With all the recent talk about the profile it's
good to see the KH hubs internals.

I've often wondered why both the profile and the KH hubs use
an axle which is fitted into a hub shell instead of simply
having the hub flanges directly attached (welded?) to the
axle. It seems to me that there would be a tremendous amount
of weight saved in the latter design. Perhaps it is a
production issue?

I much prefer the look of the SH/Profile hub over the real
profile. I don't like the look of the KH hub for the same
reason. It looks like a short soup can with an axle
through it.

What exactly did you do to take off the nubs on the KH
cranks? Did you have to add spacers, or just take down the
metal on the nub? Does it require anything special to
reattach the crank arms to the hub? Is there any down side
to reducing the nub? Thanks
