max-t Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Youll feel a little bit of engagement differance but not a dramatic amount.All you need to service/clean one is a 3/32" allen key, a rag , an old tooth brush and some thin lube.

Mod Man Leo Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well, profiles sound nicer, but take the king appart if you get one and stretch the prawl springs, then it sound like a motherfukcer. In a totaly good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantallsop Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Kings are pretty easy to service and you don't need to spend 80 quid on the tool either. They sound nicer as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
