eskimo Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 They don't come in Disc either by the way. This is a short cut out from a email i received from Aspire:Thanks for your email. Chris King does not officially make a BMX Disc rear hub, but we can sell you the kit to easily build one for yourself. The better configuration for rotor clearance is a Chris King Universal Disc rear hub with rotor adaptor and BMX rear axle. You can also use an ISO Disc rear hub with a BMX axle, but this configuration might have rotor clearance issues. The price for the BMX Disc rear hub is $429.00 with your choice of any size cog and free shipping to you in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 If you get a 'good one' it'll be sweet, if not it'll be the worst thing you've ever bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Nah, I mean a 'good' one... Some Kings are amazing, others are terrible for trials, and it appears there is no rhyme or reason for this.I had one (brand new) back in the day, worked ok for the first 6 months then started skipping, so took it all apart and cleaned it out/lubed it up, but this didn't help.The skipping got worse, and I sent it to the UK Distributer (Bromley Bikes, my LBS) as this was more convenient than sending it to Tarty Adam.I told them to look for worn parts/anythign that'd cause it to skip and told them to lube it with Tri-Flow.This didn't cure it, and the final straw was it skipping a full rotation on an up to front, where I nearly missed smashing my grill.But er.... Don't let me put you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
