Months of design and testing went into our ISO disc hubset. During the development process, we adapted our machines to use larger bar stock when we make the hub shells. This manufacturing improvement allowed us to increase the spoke flange diameter significantly. A larger spoke flange spreads the spoke holes away from each other. Also, you can use shorter spokes to build a more durable, stiffer and stronger wheel
Make no mistake, these are not "disposable" parts. There are a lot of super
light hubs out there, but will they still be working in 2 years? How about 5?
If you ride a lot, 5 years is a lot of panic stops, high speed feathering and
braking bumps. Like all of our other hubs, these carry a 5 year warranty. It
is easy to make a really light hub, not so easy to make one that you can sell
with confidence and back that up for 5 full years. Who else does this but King?
All of our rear hubs utilize our patented RingDrive™ engagement mechanism.
RingDrive™ uses 72 engagement teeth on each drive ring. That means the hub
engages over 3 times quicker than the standard 24 tooth pawl-type freehub.
Trying to get started again in the middle of a steep uphill section? Going for
the surprise jump to drop your buddies? This unique design offers instant and
positive engagement that's capable of handling a torque load of over
800ft/lbs, or over three times more than most other high end hubs we've
tested. It is the heart of our hub and all the rest is built around it.
Other unique features include our ultra stiff 19.5mm constant diameter axle
(through the bearings to the dropouts), our time tested and proven bearings,
and a 5 year warranty. All of our hubs are easily adjustable and simple to
work on, requiring only two hex wrenches and a pen knife for regular
maintenance.
