Description

Here at Strada we have the right tools, parts and experience to service your Chris King R45 hubs. The general procedure for a Chris King R45 hub service is as follows –

We visually inspect the hub shell for signs of damage or wear. We remove the internals and disassemble. These are placed in an ultrasonic cleaner (ph neutral cleaner is used) for a thorough cleaning if needed. The parts are then checked over for wear or damage. We then reassemble the hub and use a fresh snap and seal kit (+£8 per hub). We lubricate the internals with an appropriate for use grease and use Chris King Drive Lube.

The whole wheel can then be checked and trued if necessary before shipping back with FedEx (overnight tracked).

To prepare wheels for shipping please remove the tyres, tubes, cassette and quick releases. Wash the wheels with warm water and remove any excess grease form the freehub. Use a sturdy box from your local bike shop. Contact Strada to book them in.
