  1. I dont think the spline in itself is that important..
    I'm not interested in strength, because i would probably NEVER break a
    splined crankset, simple as that.

    More important thing as i see it is things like...
    Do you want q-factor? 1" vs none..
    What length do you want them in? Kh/onza is 127/140/150/165, koxx is
    110/125/140/160 Profile is 145/160/165/170/175 Qu ax is 127/145/170

    Edit: and of course pricing!

    Actually, Profile is 145, 160, 165, 170, 175, 177, 180, 182, 185, or
    190mm.

    🙂 Unfortunately, a Profile hub of suitable width seems like a near
    impossibility...

  5. While looking at what's out there now may determine what you get, it
    doesn't answer the question of which spline setup is the best design.
    With ISIS being a standard, I'm inclined to prefer them, given all
    other things equal. It means that in the future other companies might
    make better cranks, that there may be more choices, and that there will
    actually be replacements available. So why did KH-Onza, Quax, Toker,
    and Profile not use that? There has to be some reason, hopefully other
    than customer lock-in, that they went with a different design.

    How are these all different and which one is the better design for
    strength, easy maintenance, non creaking, etc.?

  6. In that photo, i always thought he was using koxx hubs, but i cant
    really tell cause there is no close up to it, and i first saw it on his
    profile, so i kinda figure if it was him, on the koxx site, he wouldnt
    be riding anything except a koxx, well now i gotta go to school so i
    cant write anything else for another 3 hours lol

  7. It is the Onza hub because at this time (2004) the koxx hub was not
    avaibel

    price?

    May I ask where you are getting that price from? (Unless it's one of
    those secret deal things, which it probably is.)

  11. Excellent. Now to figure out if it is compatible with a DX32 rim and
    original KH20 (non-splined) frame.

    I've been looking for a possible inexpensive upgrade for that thing.

    EDIT: I was just thinking because that's cheaper than a KH/Onza hub and
    crankset from bedfordunicycles.ca ($250).
