    Date Reviewed: January 7, 2007
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $500.00
    Purchased At:american cycle dot com
    Strengths:Everything
    Weaknesses:Can't use them with pegs
    Similar Products Used:profile, seventies, primo, g-sport etc
    Bike Setup:curtis motocross, profile cranks, s&m bars and forks etc a trail, park bike
    Bottom Line:AMAZING hubs and anyone who has written a bad word about these hubs should be shot!!! Unbelievable performance from a 100% green environmentally sound company. The engineering quality is increadible, the pick up of the cassette is like no other. They are very light and ride well in all conditions. They are a race hub and are not designed for street and park use but I've been shredding mine for time now and they haven't missed a beat. Phenominal hubs that deserve a place in history.

    Bike Setup:
    All of my bikes were equipped with king hubs and won't in the future
    Bottom Line:The one I purchased today was the worst hub.
    (king SS rear hub)

    Spoke hole drilling was worse than chinese hub.

    I mailed king and they rejected my mail address.

    I've paid $400 and got the botch.

    I complaint Ms Adrian Knapp about bearing price before and sounds like she put my address to black list.

    You can try my e-mail address vengo_subito@hotmail.com and
    chris king rejected and other fake email passed.
