Chris King Classic Cross

[Gothard]

Any feedback on these? Anyone use them, has built them, seen them?

What are they?

I just got a set in preparation to build up for next cross season.

Look pretty much the standard classic hub except I think the flanges are taller and stronger, and there might be some technical differences inside them such as more or tougher seals? Not sure, but the changes are supposed to favor the tougher demands on a cross wheelset. The freehub seems to sound the same, and o/w they don't look a lot different. Time will tell if they hit the mark.
