I especially love their MTB hubs- instant engagement.





The sound of the hubs is like Rock’nRoll: it seems to only rankle the old people.

If it is too loud tune down the hearing aid- I like to let em know I am coming.

Couldn't agree more. Hubs should sound like a Wagner Opera or a Megadeth album or something.

Birds of a feather!

Love the idea of King hubs sounds like a Wagner opera

Full moon club ride 1999 when few people knew what CK classic hubs were. Two separate MTB bikes doing a lot of angry bird freewheeling in the pack on a dark bike trail. Many befuddled comments made that night.

Those hubs still run like new.

Their service guy hooked me up one time with a hard to find headset part and didn’t charge a thing. Great people for sure.

Hmmn... they were quick to respond when I asked for a geometry chart on a Cielo I had but when I asked about about the paint code I never got a response.

really? Thats strange as they sent me the paint code within the day. I was going to make some touch up paint but tough color and could not be bothered.

Yeah, plus, with emails, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Many years ago now, and perhaps after some years as their headsets never seemed to need any attention, I suddenly realized what was a very different feel of my wrenches on the alloy hexes of the Chris King threaded headsets.

It occurred to me that these reminded me exactly of working on a fine steel headset, not some aluminum parts that flex and yield under the forces of hard wrenching (using open-end and adjustable wrenches).

I've worked on many alloy headsets that showed one sign or another of "softness", but never noticed this on the Chris King headsets.

One C-K headset that was on a bike that I bought used had been adjusted so tightly (owner obviously had only one wrench!) that the bike couldn't be ridden. Bearings felt rough as a cob and so surely ruined. Yet, after loosening and adjusting that headset, it was absolutely indistinguishable from a new one.
