Chris Kings for rear Evo II's for front?

[ramsew]

would there be an issue with performance if I used a Chris King Hub for rear (quick engagement) and hope Evo for front (cheaper)?

CK front not that costly, its the CK rear thats kuk expensive.

[awesme]

Why not CK's front and back, or Hopes front and back? why you want to mix? if it's price, wait a week or 2, or a month, safe the money and make it looooooook nicer.

I'm looking for quicker engagement than my existing Hopes, yes it is price would rather save where I can and spend on something else like a reverb stealth dropper post

try the Superstar Trizoids rear, and Switch Evo front. Far quicker engagement than Hope Pro2 Evo, for less than the pro 2 evo. www.superstarcomponents.com

 

the front hub is stupid cheap, and extremely good quality. Rear is even better, and sounds like a CK

ah. Just rear hub. Go for the Trizoid. Crow has them on his Ibis, which I'm riding on at the moment. Super smooth, and 120 points of engagement.

Are you doing trials on your bike? If not, then is the quicker engagement really that big a deal?

 

If it is, then I'd either go for the Trizoids, or fork out for the matching Chris King hub.

 

Cos non matchy hubs are like bar ends... not cool!

Who brings in the superstar stuff?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

You buy direct from them and they ship it. No local agents...

It makes perfect sense. Nothing wrong with mix and match. And of course, there is no performance issue. The bike just sees hub. Bikes are kinda dumb in that way.

no not doing trials, I thought a quicker engagement hub helped with technical rocky terrain? - happy to look like a plonker having mismatched hubs...

Yep yep. Made me realize that I've been missing out. Big time.

Um... guilty of running this setup on my single speed!!!!! Had no hassles - Use the Hope front because of its ability to run quick release and 15mm with adaptors.... Often move my wheels around, so useful!
