Clerictgm mk2 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 What's better and more reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Both are reliable and great products, I'd go with a Cane Creek 40* though (budget option) or a 110 which is better engineered than a King for a little less money. A king just lives from it's name. Some years ago there weren't any other high class products available but that has changed. Between the two you mentioned I'd go with a Hope, just for the moneys sake. *Put mine on my bike messenger bike 5 years ago and have been riding around 70.000km since then in all conditions so it has seen quite some rain and whatever... Haven't touched it since I put it on my bike and it still runs as smooth as on the first day. Edited September 21, 2014 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerictgm mk2 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I already have hope but for some reason in one of the bearings there are missed 3-4 beads and plastic part are cracked in few place. But it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
