Which is Stronger: Profile Hub/Cranks OR Splined Qu-Ax Hub/Cranks?
Just curious...does anyone have an opinion about the relative strength (for big drops) of the Profile hub & cranks (145mm) as compared to the splined Qu-Ax hub & cranks (145mm). There's obviously a huge price differential between these two hub/crank assemblies and many seem to think that the splined Qu-Ax hub & cranks are pretty strong. Disregard the fact that the Qu-Ax is 48 hole and the Profile is 36 hole. Thanks. -- noibs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ noibs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14274 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58517 |

I dont know. Are you sure Quax cranks havn't been snapped? Not many people ride Quax setups, so I dont think they have been tested that good. Many Many people ride profile cranks, and still say they are very strong. they have had a fair trial. Kris Holm, Dan Heaton, and many many others have done some crazy stuff on them for years. Yes a few have broke, but they were dropping some crazy stuff. I have heard qu-ax cranks are very strong, but I dont think they have been tested touph enouph to say they are any stronger than profile cranks. Another good thing with profile is that if you did break them, you get another cranks free. Overtime is you ride hard they pay for themself. My profile cranks are easy to get on and off, and arn't lose at all. They dont sqeek/creak at all either. I think the bottom line is the qu-ax cranks need to be tested and given some abuse before we can say anything about them. -- musketman MUSKETMAN www.unicycle.com For Sale: Parachute, only used once, never opened, small stain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musketman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9214 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58517 |

More than 50% of the riders in Europe ride Qu-Ax lol, I think they've been tested enough... Qu-Ax isn't a very popular brand in America and Australia because they arn't easily available there... german trial champion Lutz Eichholz uses these cranks, Rocco Schulz (1.00m+ rolling hops) uses them, I know plenty of people who have tested them, myself I have taken them above 2.10m drops and 9sets and the only thing that was damaged was my ankle. Frank Vroemen has taken them above 2.40m drops and his are still perfect too. -- DustinSchaap FOUNDER OF EENWIEL.NL (\"HTTP://WWW.EENWIEL.NL\") *Sponsored by 'MUNICYCLE.COM' (http://www.municycle.com) , 'QU-AX' (http://www.qu-ax.com) and 'SEMCYCLE' (http://www.semcycle.com)* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DustinSchaap's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12614 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58517 |

Not good enouph. I havn't even heard of these people. If they even did do that It doesn't matter, because the Profiles have done that and then some. So still Youd have to test them for years..and hard. I know they are strong, but I just dont know if you can just come to the conclusion that they are stronger than profile. They are probably close to the same, and either one would be a great setup. -- musketman MUSKETMAN www.unicycle.com For Sale: Parachute, only used once, never opened, small stain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musketman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9214 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58517 |

For sure Dustin is absolutely right that the QU-AX set is well approved for some years by many riders and really strong! There must be a reason that Pro trial Riders do a lot of work to move a 48 spokes QU-AX Hub into a 36 spokes Hub to build a wheel with a 36 spoke rim If you don't know Rocco and Lutz and some other popular European riders you should maybe visit utv to become familiar with them, they have some video stuff online. You will find a lot of QU-AX Hub Sets in all European Videos and also in some from other Continents. At least only on a test bench it would be possible to get a neutral result which set is stronger, drops say nothing about cause it totally depends on the technique you use who hard they stress the Hub Set. So for now I think both Sets are really strong ones but the QU-AX one is much cheaper. -- olarf visit 'unicycle.tv' (http://www.unicycle.tv) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ olarf's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10588 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58517 |
