Break-In

Once your new hub is placed in service, some settling may occur. Check adjustment by clamping

wheel into frame with a quick-release skewer. Ride for 5-10 minutes, check for play or binding,

and readjust clamp or cone if necessary. Recheck after the first 1-5 hours of riding. Check cas-

sette lock ring on rear hubs after the first 20 hours of use, and tighten if necessary. Continue

monitoring for the first 60 hours of use.

During the first 60 hours of use, above average amounts of drag may be noticed. This is normal

as the seals break in, and will soon diminish. If this causes chain sag in the rear while back-

pedaling, increase the B-tension (cage tension) on the rear derailleur.

A small amount of grease or oil may seep at the bearing seals during the break-in period.

Maintenance

Rear Hub Maintenance schedule

Chris King R45 and R45 Disc Hubs are designed to provide long life and high performance.

Beyond an occasional adjustment, the only maintenance necessary is cleaning and lubricat-

ing the RingDrive (see "The RingDrive", pg. 8), and re-lubricating the bearings (see "Service of

the bearings", pg. 10). Riding conditions will determine how often to service your hubs. As a

beginning guideline, your hubs should be serviced every 6-12 months in normal and

dry conditions and every 3 months in wet or muddy conditions.

The Chris King bearings in your new hub are of the highest quality. However angular contact

bearings will settle and eventually wear in with use. Since looseness or "play" in the bear-

ing assembly can develop as a result of wear, Chris King hubs have been designed with

an adjustable bearing preload mechanism and any normal play can be eliminated (see the

appropriate "Adjustment" section, pgs. 6 and 8).

Notes on RingDrive

maintenance

™

Normal preventative maintenance of the RingDrive is simple and can be performed using

basic tools (see "The RingDrive", pg. 8). In many cases, a minor cleaning and reapplication

of lubricant is all that may be necessary. Judging when to perform this basic maintenance

is determined by riding style and conditions. As a beginning guideline, your hubs should

be maintained every 6-12 months in normal and dry conditions and every 3 months in

wet or muddy conditions.

If foreign debris is detectable in the grease and/or the grease looks hard or dry, a complete

servicing (removal and cleaning) of the RingDrive should be performed. Complete service

includes the removal of the RingDrive engagement mechanism and requires the use of

our R45 Hub Service Tool. See any authorized Chris King dealer for complete service or

you may purchase a R45 Hub Service Tool Kit from your dealer or directly from Chris King
