Chris King Service by Parallel Handbuilt
Chris King is a household name in the cycling industry. Just as Ferarri or Bentley, the name “King” is known far and wide… and that’s no coincidence. King builds the best hubs and bearings in the cycling industry. With any über-high-end product, they need regular maintenance to keep them running flawlessly. Parallel has always focused on wheels, building and servicing, and as such Parallel can offer a very high level of service for Chris King hub just as with every other non-OEM hub on the market.
“Riding conditions will determine how often to service your hubs. As a beginning guideline, your hubs should be serviced every 6-18 months in normal and dry conditions and every 3-6 months in wet or muddy conditions.”
This type of preventative maintenance helps to keep your hubs, bottom bracket, and headset working perfectly while also reducing the chance of a breakdown, which can be a very costly repair. All Chris King service is done with Chris King tools and lubricants directly from Chris King or with the best possibly synthetic oil depending on riding conditions. Northern Europe is hard on your bike and having your King hubs serviced at Parallel will protect your investment for the years to come.
