X-ray 92 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hi all My Chris King keeps on skipping my drive rings are 3 ish months old so is the spring I had it all out more than ones and it still skips any ideas on what was wrong with it.

forteh Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Check all of the helical splines are spotlessly clean, I use an old toothbrush with gt85. Use a lightweight wet synthetic oil and apply sparingly to all of the splines on the drive shell (you can use the toothbrush to spread it around), I use finishline wet in my king and never have any problems. If there is any damage or binding of the splines then it will be more likely to skip, also check the drive rings for burrs on the edges of the teeth. You should be able to carefully clean up any burrs with a needle file. Did you bed the rings in? Ideally you want to be covering at least a hundred miles (on an xc or road bike) before subjecting them to trials stresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Are your drive rings the original pair that came in the hub from the factory? Is the whole hub 3 months or just some parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Did you take it apart with the king tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
