There seems to be a little misconception going around about Chris King products and their various warrantee periods. The headsets are 10yrs, hubs 5 yrs and BB's 3yrs. This is for the bearings only AND on the proviso that they have been serviced regualrly by an Authorised Chris King dealer. Like any high tech product that is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, if you look after the product it will look after you. My first set of King hubs are almost 12 years old now and still on the original bearings. Not too bad is it?
