hey buddy is it still working and can you pm me about how u did it mate thanks

keith24mtb (Mar 1, 2012 at 19:16)

working absolutely fine mate, you just need to get a profile/primo driver and get the spacers

keith24mtb (Mar 1, 2012 at 19:16)

should have patented my idea lol

fabian123 (Mar 2, 2012 at 8:49)

kool man thanks and yes you should mate and is it loud

keith24mtb (Dec 10, 2012 at 15:15)

it's as loud as you want it to be...

Pro II with a BMX driver?

keith24mtb (Mar 6, 2011 at 13:18)

indeed, profile driver! 10t titanium

kris-mk (Mar 6, 2011 at 13:20)

that's sick. Is it a hard mod to do?

keith24mtb (Mar 6, 2011 at 13:21)

nah it's really simple, just so lucky i had the exact size washers randomly lurking around at home for it haha!

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:07)

Looks like the seal isn't sealing.

keith24mtb (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:21)

it's close enough.... it's nice how everyone is in such doubt!

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:22)

I've seen it done before, so I'm not doubting it's working or not, I'm just pointing out that you'll likely have pawl issues in the future if you don't sort that out!

keith24mtb (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:24)

Do you mean pawl issues as in stuff getting in as it's not sealed are do you mean as in the driver is not inside the hubshell far enough?

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:25)

I mean stuff getting in. Maybe you could machine a bit of the inner part of the driver so it'll sit further in the hub?

keith24mtb (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:26)

Yeah, or what if i just got a rubber ring that was fatter, ? i did consider machining it also, but then that means the chainline will be more difficult!

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:30)

That's very true. Maybe run two seals? One outside the hub where there's the gap, and the other where it's supose to be? Also, I HIGHLY recommend putting some grease around said seals to help water penetration.

keith24mtb (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:35)

Yes thanks you've just made me realise i could use the original seal for the hub and just make the inner diameter of it larger so that it fits this driver!

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:35)

Glad to help. Super nice bike, by the way.

keith24mtb (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:37)

cheers man, are you on about the white samoon?

sherbet (Mar 10, 2011 at 4:38)

Ayep. Waiting for the marino though.

bikerboywill (Mar 5, 2011 at 6:40)

is this still working?

dillpicle (Mar 5, 2011 at 9:11)

i dont think he has even used it yet.

keith24mtb (Mar 5, 2011 at 10:46)

used it today, first ride on my new build today, and yes it works.

Rattsl (Mar 6, 2011 at 22:05)

Flawlessly?

keith24mtb (Mar 7, 2011 at 6:07)

Not madly, give it time and i'll let you know how this holds up! made a slight difference in this to the last time i did it,

keith24mtb (Apr 6, 2011 at 17:52)

Still works solidly great...

meatbucket9 (Aug 19, 2012 at 5:25)

Any chance you could put up a sound check of this keith?

henry-turner (Aug 20, 2012 at 8:40)

it will be a standard profile noise, i just tryed it in my old hub shell

keith24mtb (Aug 28, 2012 at 18:47)

only just saw this comment, yeah i could put a sound check up... and actually many profile hubs sound different depending on the frame it is on and rim used and how old it is, whether it's oiled or not and how exposed to the rain it is...

meatbucket9 (Aug 29, 2012 at 9:03)

Yeah exactly, wheel build and PSI. So that would be awesome, thanks keith!

keith24mtb (Aug 29, 2012 at 20:07)

thanks man i'll upload a video shortly of it still working a year later still!! no problems!!
