Prawny Baby Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 evening lads.... let this be a lesson to all.... when the bearings in your chris king hub die in august, dont wait until april to get em fixed!!!! as the price will then include a new axle! my needle bearings finally gave up in august, so i took them all out, binned the cracked/snapped ones, and put the remaining ones back in alternately, so it was running on exactly half the correct number of needles!!!! its run fine like this for months, until this week! i thought my frame had cracked causing inemse flex leading to an unrideable brake!!!! turns out the axle has snapped in the middle of the freehub body! obviously due ot running it on fecked bearings.... BUM!!!! tartdrige: you can expect a phone call (Y) everyone else: bodges dont always work :) dont take chances with a £300 hub!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
