People are always talking about the swarm of bees of the chris king hubs. Here's how they sound compared to the Industry 9 (i9) hubs. I would say that the I9's sound a little more mechanical.

  • so which one is i9 and chris king?

  • @plorwax The i9's are the ones with the white hub

  • Shouldn't the I9's sound "better" (i.e. higher pitched, more mechanical, etc.) since they have more points of engagement? 120 as opposed to what, 108 in the kings?

  • You're listening to a recording, so it's probably harder to tell the true sound, but yes, the I9's do have a more mechanical sound. I9's are 120pt (3 degrees), Kings 72pt (5 degrees).

  • First of the CK hubs need to break in. You have to run them about 100 miles before they losen up.

  • Get some dirt on those Bikes!!!

  • @LeoInterHyenaem looks like someone has a little of sand in his vagina :)

  • which are better for DH i9 hubs or CK hubs?

  • To the hell with the "sound" (or noise, if you will) - a hub's best properties are its low rolling resistance, its durability and strength, its serviceability. Not a single one of these Chris King, Industry Nine, Hope or Hadley Youtube "videos" shows their respective rolling resistance or relates to their durability. My conviction that children under 20 (as a general rule, with a few exceptions) must not be allowed near Youtube, is empirically reaffirmed.

  • i have trials bikes with each hub and have to say that i prefer the I-9. when i am on the chris king it feels like a kids toy in comparison even though i know it is a high quality product.

  • .... The Chris King hub noise is awesome... swarm of angry bees, it's there to remind you to keep pedaling!

  • 0:19 pooey tyre :)

  • That sounds wrong(the ck that is)

    sounds like when I was a kid puttin cans in my tire cus we thought it made it sound cool although it did not!

  • @RhetoricPerson Sounds like an old police siren, from the fifties or sixties! :)

  • @01248163264128256512  what the hell?
