Lubrication

See R45 Hub Information section on pages 14 and 15 for R45-specifi c information.

Normal conditions

In normal riding conditions (30°-110°F), our RingDrive grease is recommended for the bearings

and the RingDrive. Do not substitute other brands of grease, as they may cause premature

wear and/or be too sticky for the helix of the RingDrive inhibiting proper engagement.

Cold conditions

To ensure proper engagement in sub-freezing conditions, fi rst be sure that there is no water or

moisture inside the hubshell. The hub may require an overhaul to ensure that the hub interior is

completely water-free. A quality 10w synthetic oil (such as Mobil 1® 10w-30 or equivalent) works

well over a wide range of temperatures, even in subzero conditions. Mix the RingDrive Lube in the

RingDrive area, especially on the helical splines of the driveshell, with 5-10 drops of Tri-fl ow

quality 10w synthetic oil. Do not over fi ll.

Wet conditions

Riding in wet conditions necessitates more frequent service. Often this is as simple as removing the axle

and driveshell from the hub, removing any moisture from inside the hub shell, and applying more grease

to the needle bearing. This should not replace periodic complete disassembly and maintenance, especially

in extreme or prolonged wet conditions. Since it is nearly impossible to seal a hub from water and still

have it spin freely, we have designed our hubs to be able to operate normally with some water intrusion.

Although the bearings are stainless steel and will resist water induced corrosion, the lubricant will eventu-

ally deteriorate, leading to premature bearing wear and possible failure. High-pressure spray washing,

transporting or riding the bicycle in the rain, or submersion in water while riding can all lead to lubricant

contamination by water. Be aware of these situations and service more frequently when they occur.

In a pinch...

If Chris King RingDrive lube in not available, a quality 10w synthetic oil may be substituted.

Do not substitute other brands of grease, as they may be too sticky for the helix of the

RingDrive. Running the hub on oil will cause the RingDrive to be more audible, yet functionally

no different.
