The "Prototype" hub which you have pictured is actually a different hub from the "Elite" hub you mention.<br /><br />The smooth "Prototype" hubs in the matte colors, as mentioned in the link above, are simply a Re-skinned Profile Mini hub. You can use either our 3/8" or our 14mm axles and any of our drivers in them. They are suitable for anything you can throw at them.<br /><br />The "Elite" hub shares it's driver, pawls, and ratchet rings with the MTB prototype hub. There are over 200 points of engagement- It's an incredible difference over our existing hubs- there is just no space whatsoever between clicks- Downward pressure on the pedals is instantly converted to forward motion. They are intended for Race and MTB usage.<br /><br />Christian<br />christian at profile racing dot comChristian Henrichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452845391631725384.post-24069337666502969102009-09-25T03:46:34.000-07:002009-09-25T03:46:34.000-07:00206?
