Primo Mix Cassette Hub!

They're not the loudest (They're pretty loud) but they have a good sound to em'. You'll know one if you hear one, if you ride with one, you'll sound like a pro! ;D

Ya the elites look badass, still never tried them out. If i was racing or had money to spend def my first choice. Even if the driver goes at least profile has every single bearing and spacer you need for rebuild. Most companies could learn alot from prof when it comes to offering fixes for issues.

not my favorite hub in the world but they are a good hub and are easy to sort out if you f*ck one up, just a pain in the arse trying to get the driver back in. also the flip flop aspect is good.

Ya I haven't taken the driver out yet but it look difficult with the springs in the driver itself. That another plus with the primo, when you buy a new driver it comes with the spring/pawls/bearings included only $45. Other companies will have you buying driver then bearings and pawls, next thing you know just spent over $100. If your smart and buying a new primo mix should get an extra driver and you set for couple years, and paid alot less than $200.

Doesn't cleaning out the grease from your driver ruin your hub eventually?
I mean, the company put it there for a reason, right?

Yes. Putting a little light oil on the pawls helps with the wear, but yeah it will wear eventually.

A good rule of thumb is put a little oil anywhere metal touches metal.

With or without grease most hubs will last longer than most riders interest in BMX.

Ya i was trying to dirt jump and hit wood quarters on a ross 20" fixed gear back in 1982. Wondering why i crashing soo much, cant do shit on a fixie. Now every hipster tourist wants a fixed to ride around city lolo. Good luck with that bro, we evolved to cassettes and freecoasters back in 1985.
