• BMX Axle Bolts

Chris King BMX hubs are supplied with 3/8"-16 x 1" socket cap axle bolts which

should be tightened to 25 foot-pounds of torque using a 5/16" wrench. Replacements

can be purchased at most high quality hardware stores. Use a bolt of grade 8 or

equivalent. Under no circumstance should a quick release skewer be substituted

for the axle bolts.

Chris King Classic front hubs are designed to work with 100mm fork drop out

spacing. Do not attempt to use your hub with any other dropout spacing. The

two piece axle design (see Fig. 1, pg. 2) is designed for a skewer-type retention

device and must not be modified or altered to accept any type of bolt-on retention

device.

Chris King Classic rear hubs are designed to work with 130, 135. 140 and 145mm

frame spacing. Do not attempt to use your hub with any other dropout spacing. The

two piece axle (see Fig. 1, pg. 2) is designed for exclusive use with a skewer-type

retention device and the hub can only be used with FunBolts by replacing the two

piece axle with the one piece axle. The one piece axle design (see Fig. 2, pg. 2) can

be used with Chris King FunBolts or with our QR adaptors, which allow for the use of

a skewer-type retention device. Do not modify or alter either one piece or two piece

axle systems to accept thru-bolt retention devices.

Chris King Single Speed rear hubs are compatible with 130 or 135mm frame spacing.

Do not attempt to use your hub with any other dropout spacing. Our Single Speed

rear hubs utilize our one piece axle design (see Fig. 2, pg. 2). The one piece axle can

be used with Chris King FunBolts or with our QR adaptors, which allow for the use

of a skewer-type retention device. Single Speed rear hub and cog set-up information

can by found on pages 10 and 11.

• BMX Front

Chris King BMX front hubs are designed to work with 100mm fork dropout spacing.

Do not attempt to use your hub with dropout spacing different than for which it was

intended. All BMX hubs utilize our one piece axle design and are attached to the

frame with BMX Axle Bolts (see "BMX Axle Bolts", pg. 3).

• BMX Rear

Chris King BMX rear hubs are designed to work with 110mm frame dropout spacing.

Do not attempt to use your hub with dropout spacing different than for which it was

intended. BMX hubs utilize our one piece axle design and are attached to the frame

with BMX Axle Bolts (see "BMX Axle Bolts", pg. 3). Cog setup information can be

found on pages 10 and 11.

The hub(s) come pre-adjusted from the factory. The adjustment has been made anticipating

spoke tension and skewer compression. Because of variations in wheel-building practices,

a minor adjustment should be performed upon completion of the wheel build. See the

appropriate "Adjustment" pgs. 6 to 10, and check the hub before using.
