Q and A: How to choose a Profile Crankset for your Fixed Bicycle


It's best to go with the Spline Drive sprockets or spiders versus a bolt on sprocket or spider, because the back and forth pressure of accelerating and braking loosens the sprocket bolt and wears out the sprocket or spider prematurely.

For the narrowest Q-Factor (width between pedals)

  • Profile Internal Bearing BB (Most fixed gear frames are 68mm BB’s).
  • 5 1/4 Gun Drilled Hollow BB Spindle
  • Profile Spline Drive Sprocket or Profile Fixed

    Spline Drive Spider (130 or 144 BCD)

  • Profile NoBoss Crank Arms.

For the strongest/most durable bearings:

  • Profile Outboard Bearing BB (Most fixed gear frames are 68mm BB’s).
  • 5 5/8 Gun Drilled Hollow BB Spindle
  • Profile BMX Spline Drive Spider (4 arm 104 or 5 arm 110 BCD)
  • Profile NoBoss Crank Arms.

FF4 and Bootleg Sessions v.4 trailer


Andrew Voegeli won the trick comp at Fixed Fight 4 this weekend. I believe that's 2 St. Pete trick comps in a row. Kid is dialed. Pic stolen from 66Fixed's Flickr, thanks Carol.

I wasn't there, so I don't know if Pete Young raced, but I've heard that not only did Pete race, but he won it, so he was defintely representing Profile, because he's on it. How he managed to marry that girl with his scary facial hair is beyond me, but more power to him...

I think Profile has managed to corner the market on Alley Cat talent in Florida. Great work, guys...

Burd Phillips just hipped me to the trailer for the new Bootleg Sessions DVD.
