Three years ago, Dave Fisher, Profile's head machinist, gifted a pair of these one-off, drilled out, Profile Mini Hubs to our long time freestyle team manager, Matt Coplon.
For the summer of 2022, we've decided to make a small. Ltd. Edition run of what has become Profile's "Cat's Eye" Hubs, available to the public.
The "Cat's Eye" Hubs have the same internals and hardware options as our Mini Hubs.
Available in Polished only.
RHD, with a very limited number available in LHD.
In this edit, Matt walks you through the process of manufacturing, de-burring, and hand polishing each hub shell.
Filmed by Eric "Easy" Fabisiak and Dan Dellorso.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
