Chris King hubs make us giddy. They’re beautiful, light, strong, and easy to work on. The cassette has a great pawl system that should never have a problem. Ever. So we are naturally ecstatic about the release of the 12 x 150mm thru-axle rear hub. Yes, there’s a premium to pay for a premium hub, but every time you see this hub, you’ll smile. Every time you hear it freewheel with its distinctive whirr, you’ll be tickled pink. And chances are, you'll rarely have to think about it again. It just does its job, and never complains.

We’re taking a long time to write this very simple thing. These hubs are worth it. If you’re the kind who runs loose cogs, rides rough, and doesn’t tighten up your lock ring to the max torque spec, this is the hub for you, as we feature it with a heavy duty, stainless steel cassette body.

The Chris King ISO 150mm disc hub is ready for a thru-axle 150mm long and 12mm in diameter. The ISO nomenclature refers to the disc rotor mounting, six-bolt International Standard. The cassette body is stainless steel for added durability. The available spoke drillings are 32 and 36 holes. The flange diameter on the both sides is 57.4mm. The center to flange measurement on the drive side is 25mm. The center to flange measurement on the non-drive side is 38.5mm. King recommends building wheels with a cross pattern equal or greater to three-cross with 13-15g spokes. The hub is available in all nine beautiful Chris King anodized colors: Black, Gold, Green, Mango, Navy, Pewter, Pink, Red, and Silver. 384g.
