Grant H Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 they probably have the most ammount of engagement point on a hub.its less likely to skip the harder you push on the pedals due to the ring drive system.they make a funky noisethey come in pretty colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I f**ked mine over somehow, couldn't stop it skipping.Changed to a Pro2 and have had little problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 King's are horrible. The noise is just annoying, they do proper full-rotation skips.The drive mechanism is different to the usual Spring/Pawl design on Profiles/ProIIs etc. It's hard to explain what it's like, but it's different.They're really expensive because they're machined so well, just a shame they super-skip!

I've had 2 and theyve never skipped and ive seen one skip once and it wasnt any worse than a profile one, and ive seen loads of profiles bearings go n all that shit, and when u take it apart everything goes everywere haha.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 King's are horrible. The noise is just annoying, they do proper full-rotation skips.Mine has never done that. In fact I've had two, and neither have ever done that. They're quite expensive, and clever people buy Pro IIs since they're half the price. But we all love the bestest, most shiniest pimp bike parts, and Kings are definitely that. Same with CK headsets really, even more than the hubs. No one NEEDS a CK headset, a £40 FSA one will be just as good really. It's just the pimp factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
