have you seen that done before? seems like alot of modding to get it done. isn't the madera/profile front hubs 19mm alum female axles? i have the madera on my 20" and it looks like a tight fit for a 20mm axle.Well a modded Madera would blow away a modded G-sport....
I just emailed the guy at Gsport about this matter, funny to find it going on here as well. Does anyone know about endcaps that would work with the Gsport?
Is the leaf available? Also, the Gsport is around 90ish, the Profile I believe is around 120-130, am I right on my numbers?
you need two 5mm spacers for the g-sport mod. people who have them had to make there own. post up when george responds.I just emailed the guy at Gsport about this matter, funny to find it going on here as well. Does anyone know about endcaps that would work with the Gsport?

profile hub is 130 plus 7.50 for color on their site.here is the product info of the sputnic hub:
sputnic hub front
German technology - German precission – German made
The „Sputnic hub“ combines quality materials and precision fabrications with German bearing technology. This hub got specially designed for progressive street and dirt abuse. Because of that reason, this hub comes without a disk mount. The result ist he same spoke tension on both sides of the hub.
The hub has got two precision sealed indusrial bearings and a formed flunge, which reduces the load on the spoke kink.
weight: 196grams
20mm through axle/32holes only/black anodized
price: 179,- EUR (including 19% German tax)
In march 2008 we bring out a cheaper taiwan version as well!
Hi I'm the guy who made it.That red G Sport mod is definately an easy & effective one to pull off. Lets hope they also used an internal spacer for the bearings.

nice, I like what I see, and also named after one of my favorite bands of all time, and well tv show too, haha!I 'd like to recommend you the Stooges PIT 20 hub. It's artisan-made by some local guys here in Argentina:
They weight 172 grams, fully CNC'd in 7075 Al, sport two big ass sealed bearings, and come without disc tabs. Plus, you have them in several colors,and coming from a third-world country, they will cost you about 60 bucks plus shipping...
You can check them at Stooges' website
