The Chris King ISO 20mm Thru-Axle Front Disc hub is the best that money can buy. Their design criteria is simple: build a one-piece, super strong axle that can be adjusted in the field with a single wrench, without removing the wheel.

Strengths:    Very solid, nice finish, great adjustment settings, beautiful color options. In one word, FANCY

Weaknesses:    A bit expensive from my pov AND could be a bit to people used to free-maintenance hubs

Bottom Line:   
From the very start, we -mechanic, me- noticed this hub had a little play, even if I was locking the t/a at full torque. Then I did some research and it turned to be pilot error. I was not aware that the hub came in that way on purpose, until I read the maintenance pdf. I guess many people reading this has a King hub with this "problem", so I can tell you, read the manual and follow the instructions step by step, you'll never have a problem and you only need forrest gump ic to understand, just read it. I swear you don't need to be any close to a mechanic to make it happen.

Once you dial this adjustment they roll great, don't have any play, and you ride confidently over a stable platform as it is supposed to be. If not, why bothering in buying a 20mm t/a?

Strengths:    Massive, well sealed, adjustable on the fly, stainless steel (I believe), angular contact bearings. Absolutely beautiful, cosmetic, appearance. Warranty. Spoke holes are just big enough for 13 gauge spoke elbows to snap in tightly, great for DT Alpine III spokes.

Weaknesses:    This is one bike part that I honestly can not think of a way to improve upon.

Bottom Line:   
Buy one.
