Wanted: Profile Hub

Since you've got the machining tools and the skills to do your own
machining, you could also ask for a Profile hub in less than decent
condition suffering from axle slop. Put a couple of pins through the
hub and it'd be all good again.

True. But then I can't warranty it, which is the main reason I'm
sticking with profile. If profile didn't have a warranty, I would move
to KH without a doubt.

In buying it second hand you void any warantee that profile has just to
let you know. Now you might be able to swing something but chances are
the whole process is going to be a bit harder.

The Profile warranty is to the original purchaser. The warranty does
not transfer when purchased used.

Here's info on the Profile warranty from the support forum at
'ProfileRacing.com' (http://www.profileracing.com/):

Quoted message said:

Question:
i noticed it says "limited lifetime warrenty" on the 14mm chromoly
solid axles.

what does that mean, in layman terms?

Answer:
That Profile Racing chromoly crankarms and chromoly spindles carry a
Lifetime Limited Warranty to the original purchaser that covers
bending, cracking or breaking. Hammering, welding or any altering of
the component(s) voids warranty. Cosmetic problems are excluded.
Profile Racing requires proof (or documentation) in the form of a
purchase receipt or copy of the registration stub with any warranty
claim.

Profile Racing chromoly axles or titanium spindles & axles are not
included.

I also already have a set of 145mm profile cranks, if that means
anything...

I saw the post. How could I miss it? 😄

I was looking for the official warranty statement at ProfileRacing.com
and couldn't find it. I did manage to find that laymans interpretation
of the warranty. That interpretation is from the Profile rep at the
forum. It's relevant so I posted even though it was slightly redundant
after your post.

That is the BMX hub, the 14mm axle is not used on the unicycle hub, i
beleive that is 19mm.
It isn't the same thing, since the unicycole hub is a combined hub and
crankshaft.

The question was about the axle in the BMX hub, but the response
addressed the warranty coverage for the crankarms, bottom bracket
spindle, and other parts. The important thing is that warranty only
applies to the original purchaser of the part.

The warranty also doesn't cover the titanium bottom bracket spindle.
I'm not sure why. Is it because of the expense? Or is the titanium
spindle weaker than the steel version?

The unicycle hub is made from the chromoly bottom bracket spindle and a
solid hub body (before the inside of the hub body has been machined out
for the bicycle hub guts). The chromoly bottom bracket spindle used is
3/4" or about 19mm in diameter.
