SET-UP
GETTING STARTED
AND
CAUTIONS
The following issues that are important to review before servicing and/or trouble shooting your
Chris King hub:
Adjust the preload on the bearings directly after building the
wheel
Spoke tension pulling out on the flanges can slightly loosen the preload adjustment on the

adjustment should always be performed upon completion of the wheel build. Please see the
appropriate “adjustment” section and check the hub before using.
Chris King hubs feature adjustable bearing preload

a minimum of 1100 lb. of clamping force when set. For best performance, use a steel skewer.
Titanium skewers are not recommended.
Use only the recommended bolts with our bolt-on hubs
Never use thread locking or mounting compounds
Thread locking compounds are not an acceptably reliable substitution for loose threads or press

The aluminum driveshells of the rear hubs are softer than the steel driveshells, and we

General cautions
When using any Chris King product in conjunction with other manufacturers’ parts, be sure
to follow all manufacturers’ instructions and recommendations.

Service of the bearings
We offer our bearings with either quality steel or ceramic balls, so short term water intrusion
should not lead to any substantial damage. Judging when to service the bearings is completely
dependent on the riding style and conditions.
1. Chris King sealed bearings have removable snap rings
that hold the rubber seals in place. (See figure 9.)
2. Carefully, using a small screwdriver, pick, or penknife,
remove the snap ring by inserting tool into split of snap
ring. Gently work one end of the snap ring toward
bearing center until it is out of its groove. Follow the
ring around with the tool until the snap ring is completely
dislodged.

substantial damage. Judging when to service the bearings is completely dependent on the
riding style and conditions.
1. Chris King sealed bearings have removable snap rings that hold the rubber seals in place.
2. Carefully, using a small screwdriver, pick, or penknife, remove the snap ring by inserting
tool into split of snap ring. Gently work one end of the snap ring toward bearing center until
it is out of its groove. Follow the ring around with the tool until the snap ring is completely

Service of the bearings
We offer our bearings with either quality steel or ceramic balls, so short term water intrusion
should not lead to any substantial damage. Judging when to service the bearings is completely
dependent on the riding style and conditions
1. Chris King sealed bearings have removable snap
rings that hold the rubber seals in place.
2. Carefully, using a small screwdriver, pick, or
penknife, remove the snap ring by inserting tool
into split of snap ring. Gently work one end of the
snap ring toward bearing center until it is out of its
groove. Follow the ring around with the tool until
the snap ring is completely dislodged. (see figure
26.)
