$280.00 | | Purchased At: | the gr8 outdoors | | Strengths: | the color selection, the engagements, the famous CK buzz, and its bombproof. | | Weaknesses: | i'll let you know if i find one. | | Similar Products Used: | NONE. there is no other hub like it!!! | | Bike Setup: | 09 SBC DEMO 7 ll frame. custom built, with CK hubs laced to MTX 36h rims. Diablous 165mm cranks, CODE brakes, Marz 66 rc3, Thompson x4 elite stem, E13 guide, ultegra 11-21 cassette. SRAM X9 rear shifter/derailuer, Gravity Maximus FR/DH handelbar | | Bottom Line: | once i took my first spin on these hubs i was hooked. it has instant engagement. when i need to do a half crank just b4 a jump its there! unlike the standard 2 pawl 24 engagement hubs. thats the biggest selling point for me. when i need to crank its there. plus it adds value to your bike not mention the infamous buzz as you pass your fellow riders. if you buy one you won't be dissapointed. its perfect for whatever riding you do or want to do! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 2, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | singletrack | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Strong. Light. Bombproof. | | Weaknesses: | None so far | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano Deore | | Bike Setup: | 07 Stumpy, King ISO's, Mavic 819 disc, Fox shock and fork | | Bottom Line: | I just got my ISO's laced up to a set of new Mavic 819 disc rims, and couldnt be happier. It was a huge upgrade from my old wheelset, dropping a few hundred grams. I've lusted over this wheelset for a few months, finally got it, and couldn't be happier. The hubs make the infamous sound, and they roll much easier than my old loose bearing hubs. The needle bearings make such a huge difference. I've heard of a "break-in" period where I'll experience chain sag and derailing when I backpedal, things settling (Maybe), but I experience nothing. The freehub was tight for a little bit, but after a few miles it was perfect. When upside down the wheels spin forever. Literally no drag.
And the engagement is amazing. Something like 4 tmies faster it seems than my old hubs. I've ridden on them twice, one time at a very brutal race, and they gave me no problems.
I traded some work for them, so I've got no idea how much they actually cost, but they're worth whatever they retail for. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
