Jason222 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 My buddy has a rear CK hub, and his isn't very loud (but he's had it for a while, and he's the second owner as well). His sounds more like a low tone hum. If mine is like that, is there any way I can make it annoyingly loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Clean it and either run it dry or like, stretch the spring maybe, i'm not a great King engineer. And you, the rear wheel alone was worth $180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsyJoel93 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hell yes you did and to get it louder you do the same for all freewheels and hubs, clean it all out, take it apart of you dare and when its all clean layer it in WD40 and re-assemble it, it will be a lot louder as WD40 is less dense than the factory grease so it muffles the sound less but WARNING doing this doing this could damage your hub or take away that patented Ck smoothness.The factory lube is better protection for the components but gives it that hum. the WD40 doesn't help the internals as well but sounds bleddy marvelous !! Tis up to you mate Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis up to you mate Joel DONT USE WD40!!!That stuff will kill your king! WD40 should only be used to clean out the oil in your king and after you put WD40 in you have to clean it all back out again!Use a thin chain lube in your king, just put a little, so then it will be well lubed, run smooth, and nothing will go wrong. This is what I do with my king and everyone else I know with a king and none of us have had any problems!This is sorta like the stuff we use to lube our kings, it would work fine!undefinedundefinedHope I helped you and got to you before you put WD40 in your king!Pav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks pav!!! I'll do that if I find it's not loud enough. Well, actually, I don't have the tools, so I'll probably get my bike shop to service it. But I can tell them what to do. Thanks a lot guys.

Mark W Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I see to remember Tart (CK Uber-lord) recommending/using/telling the world to use Finish Line Wet XC lube to get your King running nicely. Speaking as someone who owns a totally silent bike, totally silent bikes own. Don't worry about it not being annoyingly loud, you'll only get even more people saying there's "something wrong with your bike" or "something's rubbing on your tyre"...
