Matt Vandart Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'm contemplating getting a Chris King ISO hub and I have a few questions:1: Do regular shimano/sram cassettes fit.2: What is "Bedding in"? and how do you go about it?3: They cost an Effin fortune so I want to look after it, what sort of maintenance routine should I do?Thanks Dudes.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally you just wanna take the drive shell off every few months, clean the splines with a toothbrush and make sure everything is lightly lubed. Once a year or so send it off to Tarty to get them to service it, and you'll be fine. Edited July 3, 2009 by JonMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
