I've had  plenty of  prolite stuff, pretty good gear at a budget price.

I have prolite hubs on my NS rider and my 2 hip pork.

never had a problem, but don't expect profile quality!

Great gear for a great price! Mark.......when you say profile quality, do you mean constant bearing wobble??  ???

I would buy prolite stuff again I have used the hubs and some other parts before and they were absolutely fine with no probs, although i'm light and dont ride very hard, i think all these budget wheelsets hubs rims etc are coming off the same production line in taiwan.
Profile hubs look very nice and I fancy some myself but everyone who has them seems to have probs with them.
