James 24/7 trials Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Im thinking of getting a rear freehub, i want a Chris King hub but want it to be disc, i dont realy have a problem with the price.I was told that i could do this:If you have no problems with the amount of money then you should get a King!and then buy an ISO disc hub shell for it and get the internals changed over Then you have a Amazing hub with a 10 year warrantee and also you can buy everything you need for a King from Tarty I really like the sound of that, but where do you get the iso disc shell from?, is it a king shell and will any bike shop change it over?I have an Onza blade Mod, if i got this would it fit my frame?Where do i get the parts from and how much roughly will this cost?cheers james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) You can get replacement shells from aspire velotech Send it off to tarty and get them to strip and rebuild it, alternatively you might be able to strip it without the special tool.Speak to jonmack as I believe he has done what youre looking to do.edit:Just buy a full HD Classic or SingleSpeed.ISO Disk internals are no different to a standard Classic.The bits you need are a stainless steel driveshell, heavy duty axle and funbolts.He wants a disk mount bmx king Edited June 12, 2009 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 I have an Onza blade Mod, if i got this would it fit my frame?Yes but for the love of god why would you want a king on an Onza blade? If price really isn't an issue get a new frame and some parts for that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 24/7 trials Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Its only the frame and cranks which are onza parts, the rest is custom, i want a rear king and then at the same time i will change the cranks to fixed. The frame is good, its the 4th lightest on tarty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Kings on mods are totally pointless, your much better off getting a good FFW and can probably change cranks and frame for the cost of getting your king up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Kings are good, but now that there are so many awesome and reliable freewheels on the market, the need for a King has diminished a lot for trials..Heck, 108 EP on a Mod with a King is more than enough. No one really needs that much to be honest, and in many cases it can make the bike feel *too* responsive. BMXers tend to hate Kings and hubs with massive EP because during stuff like 180 bunnyhops, when they land in fakie, the massive engagement causes the cranks to 'catch on' almost too suddenly, throwing people off a bit...Mod riders buy King for the gimmick and the look. Functionally, a decent freewheel would be a lot better price-wise, easier to sort out, install, and the setup would be overall much lighter and better proportioned over the whole bike.I agree with Simpson. Buy a better frame and better cranks first. Onza's low end stuff really isn't that great for long-term investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
