CHRIS KING front wheel hub Road R45D Center Lock | 12x100 mm thru axle | black
CHRIS KING hubs have a certain myth attached to them. They have been on the market almost unchanged for years and yet they are not old hat. Thanks to their proven technical inner workings, constant further development in detail and unmistakable appearance, they have become a true cult object.
When Chris King's engineers started developing the R45, everything was created under the motto "light & fast". Every detail was fine-tuned and the result is something to be proud of. Not only is it lighter than its predecessor, it is also considerably stiffer thanks to the 17 mm axle. This means it twists less and transmits steering commands very precisely. But one thing has remained the same: the soul of Chris King.
Thanks to the enlarged hub flange, shorter spokes can be used in wheel construction, which not only saves weight but also makes for a very stable and durable wheel.
At the heart of the hub are the ball bearings. These are also developed and produced directly at Chris King. This means they can be fully adapted to the specific loads and forces. Thanks to the multiple seals, the ingress of water or dirt is virtually impossible. Before installation, each bearing is checked by hand for any quality defects and sorted out if necessary. Adjusting the bearing play is very simple and can also be carried out with the bearing installed. With the help of the Chris King hub tool set, which can be purchased as an option, replacing the bearings and maintaining the hub is child's play.
Chris King has confidence in its products. They show this by giving a lifetime guarantee on their hubs. You must register your hub on their website after purchase.
