As some of you may have seen on FB, I bought a new (to me) toy today In the box of bits thats came with it is a spare rear chris king hub (the bike is running chris king on the front and hope on the rear) It really makes a funny noise, I've just youtubed it it. Is the reason its in the box because the noise drives you nuts? Anyone ever run one/know what they sound like in real life, should I build it up?

Yup Adam! I had it laced to a 719 rim by Head for the Hills - its been faultless but needs a bit of TLC every now and again. its a 5 minute job to disassemble it grease and and 3 mibs to put it back again!

Nice. I have a set of King Hubs which came on a bike I bought earlier this year. I like the subtle noise they have. Buzzing bees, compared to the rat tat tat of Hope Evo's.
Interested in the servicing hints and tips pls. Mine are not that old, light use.
