ISIS Vs. Regular

Jerrick · 2006-03-14, 05:17 AM

I want to know the diference in an ISIS hub, like the ones that come on the koxx unis, and how they compare to the KH splined hub, or any other hub.

Just some basic info, like which one is stronger, why is the isis hub stronger or is the KH stronger? any difference on how they mad, just stuff like that =p

Ive seen that before, but it doesnt give that good of info on ISIS splined hubs, it helps with everything else, but im kinda just wondering what makes ISIS so special =p

markf · 2006-03-14, 05:52 AM

ISIS is a standardized crank interface. it's very useful on bikes where tons of companies have their own interfaces. ISIS cranks can be swapped with other ISIS cranks, profile's for example can only be replaced with profiles. that's the cool thing about ISIS. other than that it's a fairly strong interface on par with KH and profile. basically a well made splined system will be super strong and very hard to break regardless of exact design.

kool =p i noticed they had a much larger selection of crank sizes, and ive seen yoggi do insane drops and his stuff hold out fine, but i never see ppl do anything that big with profiles or KH's.

Now im probably gonna get a KOXX for a new uni unsted of buying a profile wheelset, or i still might get a KH, still not decided =p

You have never seen anyone go big with profiles or kh's. Pfffft. Seen defect, any good quality riding videos on here. Im sure you have you just dont know.

You are right Koxx crank sets take big drops. So do the KH ones. Check this photo.

Jerrick · 2006-03-14, 07:25 AM

Ive seen Kh going big, but not as big as what ive seen done on KOXX, like the photo of yoggi doing that insane drop shown on his profile on koxx one.

But seriously, what makes the isis hubs different then ones made by torker, qu-ax (i heard they were switching to a isis), and KH. like, what do they do different to them to make them stand out?

markf · 2006-03-14, 07:30 AM

re-read my post. KH is 36 spline, profile is 48 spline and ISIS is 10, 12? something like that. splines are the little slots or ridges where the hub and cranks meet. more doesn't necessarily mean better. these companies set their stuff apart from qu-ax and torker by being stronger and lighter.

//edit: what makes them stand out (as i said before) is that you can you more than just the koxx cranks. you can use any ISIS cranks you want. this is a huge plus, expecially for muni.

Jerrick · 2006-03-14, 07:41 AM

i know that, and i know about the fact on how more splines doesnt mean its gonna be the strongest, i know that more splines doesnt mean its stronger, and different materials can make it lighter and stronger.

I having a hard time trying to put what i want here lol, probably from lack of sleep, i shouldnt of stayed up all last night =(

So for ISIS, they are around 10, or 12 splined, KH is 36, Profile are 48, but even though isis has less splines is it the material the use that makes it so strong, or the design or the way the make the ridges?

And the added crank options are a big plus =p

Jerrick · 2006-03-14, 08:04 AM

I found a really nice explenation on ISIS hubs, went through tons of search result, but i finally found what i needed, so now im going to bed, =p

UniPsychoLiam · 2006-03-14, 08:15 AM

im pretty sure yoggi had profiles on in that photo... and his entire wheelset got totalled.

yoggi does break KOXX ISIS cranks too... nothing can withstand things like 14ft drops to flat for very long.

KH 2005 crank and hubset.
