guineasmithpig Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 A few skips isnt badit is if you're launching from a phone box. and why should people have to put up with hubs that skip, when you can get ones that don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsking 55 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) i've had an adamant freehub since september, never serviced it, never skipped, no problems. very firm engagement aswell. it also looks like a king from farl.BTW. its green lol Edited April 1, 2007 by trialsking 55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 if you want your teeth, get a kinghaha, i just felt that statement was wrong for some reason. maybe because they're the only hub that can full pedal rotation skip.wait for the mod pro2!

deanie-b Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I was joking, you f**king cock end.MatEasy Fellow.He was having a laugh!Chill out!Mr. Hudson is totally right, King's 'ringdrive' mechanism engages differently from other hubs, and as such they can skip through a full pedal rotation if not carefully mantained.I believe this is right? I'm no expert on over-priced hubs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
