Chris King ISO Disc Front Hub

So, according to some until you roll on a King hub you have not yet rolled. Another statement that some riders make is that if you are a heavy rider (around two hundred pounds or over) you probably shouldn't ride on anything other than a King.

According to Chris King Precision Components these ISO hubs were months in the making and then testing afterward. There is a larger bar at the core. That provides additional strength and a larger spoke flange diameter. That means your spokes are spread and you can use shorter spokes. Simply put that spells out the makings of a stronger wheel according to them.

These disc front hubs come with a five year guarantee new. That is a potential mess of action on a hub. Think of how many times you could take it out on the trails in five years. Five years is standard for all of Chris King's hubs though. For many this will dismiss any concerns about the difficulties that other are expressing. Some riders were concerned about the hub getting loose after riding.

The hubs are made in Portland, Oregon and the company is proud of that fact. Chris King hubs are known for craftsmanship. Even those that have found the hubs did not deliver everything they wanted generally admit that these ISO disc hubs look great.

While the internals are sealed, and the bearing are expected to spin for years these hubs get another great compliment from many that own them. These King hubs are known to be easy to service by the owner. If you ever want to repack some ball bearings you may want to try it on a King hub. Installation is considered easy by most as well. The hub is designed with a standard 6 bolt mount.

They weigh in at 166g which may not seem like a lot when you consider they are tested to handle approximately 3000lbs of torque. You can usually expect to find these hubs for under two hundred dollars. They are available in a range of colors as well. The rear hub will cost you a bit more.
