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?
