Modified Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hey, got my Chris King, 2nd hand. About 1 month ago.It's all good, never skipped or anything.But my mates is really loud, sorta' hard to explain.And mine is really quiet, like you push it along and you can hear the tires over the King.With my mates, you can hear it ticking, like a Hope.I dunno' what to do with mine, It was something to do with it not bedded in right, but it hasn't skipped, and it's 2nd hand. So might not of been bed in much.If anyone could help me as to get it engaging(sp) a bit louder, would be much help. If I haven't explained this very well, just ask questions and I'll try explain more.Thanks.Modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 kings are quite sensitive and dont have any person exp. with themgenrally the more greese they have the more likley they are to skippand the less the faster they degrade????im kind of out of my depth talking this deep about kings though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guumer Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 nooooo kings dont use grease thay come with king ring drive lube in them if you want it to be loud open it up then pull out the axcel and the drive shell then clean it all out with a rag and use a tooth brush on the spins on the drive shell when you have it all cleand out put some triflow on the drive splines but not alot . if you puut in grease it will not engage properly and your king will skip and shit . king also recomends triflow fro cold weather because it is thiner then the king ring drive oil .
