You have spelp Chris King as cris king anyway, It's up to you to be honest, hopes have poo engagement, King's have mega engagement,Profile also have mega engagement. It's about what look's best on your bike wich performs better i.e engagement's less skipping and what you can afford. I am Runnin a Hope xc hub and have been doing for about a year now there alright, they skip when it's cold but when serviced there ok for a while, they have rubbish engagement i think it can be said. I can't wait till my birthdday in june to be able to afford a Chris King hub. Clarky
