Saturday

I rode my bike. I didn't fall down. True.
Saturday. My bike. Soquel Demo. Soil sampled not, me.

Otherwise on to a semi-vociferous rant on Chris King products. www.chrisking.com
My hub. Rear hub. Chris King disc ISO. Not including spokes, nipples, rim, tube, and tire, the hub was $459.00. A lot of money for a single hub on a fucking bike. I'm not bitter. I understand the 'drag' issues for these hubs. "takes up to 6 months to wear in", and "backpedaling my cause chain slack issues, due to higher amounts of drag when the product is new".
I know they're tight, but it's a little ridiculous. Anyway, when releasing the end nut for service, the 5mm interiors rounded out on both ends. Simple physics I suppose, steel is harder than aluminum, but the 5mm wrenches I purchased new, just so they were perfectly...uhhh 6 sided. Still rounded out. Chris King offered to crack it if I send it in for $89.00.
So.....why is Chris King running the interior sleeves out of aluminum? I understand mine was seized as will happen to aluminum to aluminum now and then, but to offer a 5 year warranty, and recommend service every 2 months? That's 30 times are recommended to crack those things open. Steel tools on the aluminum sleeves. Somethings going to give during that time. I'm just pissed it happened the 1st time I did it.
I'm going back to Phil Wood Hubs. www.philwood.com
