What is this Wall Street speak?

The "neighborhood" included about 800 acres of woods and trails.

riding my bike in the woods at night was the best thing about growing up in virginia...other than the 930 club.

22.6 miles at 19.3 mph

Damn son! That's a pace!!!

I'm shocked I tell you shocked

Eric, I'm not a doctor but you appear to be DANGEROUSLY low on barbiturates.

Rode bikes in the woods, again. Salad with a side of grilled yardbird.

Rode one of my favorite trails in #Dentistland

I know. After borrowing them last time I recently bought the tool.

The issue is the drive ring lagging and not engaging. ex: climbing everything is fine, coasting/descending I can pedal and the drive doesn't engage. I've already partially disassembled, cleaned, lubed and it went away, but came back on yesterday's ride. No bueno. I suspect some grit holding the driver from sliding into mesh with the hub body, or some problem with the spring that preloads the drive ring.

Tore apart, cleaned, lubified, scrunched back together, everything is ///money.

so what you're saying is, you're gonna have to overnight it to a guy in texas who specializes in fixing king hubs for $200 instead of letting your local shop fix it for $375.

There must be some kind of badass who would lend you King rebuild tools.

More like, skip paying the shop $50 for one repair and instead spend $120 on the tool so I can fix shit forever.

Total badass, but questionable judgement!

And it takes about one fuckup by a shop to make the investment seem like a very good deal...

More tools is always the right choice.

I'm glad I've never had baller hubs. I read an awful lot about these "high end" hubs shitting the bed and needing to be resurrected with specialty skillz and toolz.

Carbon cranks on the other hand... those are a must.

This is the exception for me. I just sold a pair of King hubs that I owned for like 12 years. They were flawless with easy annual maintenance with no special tools. This rear hub was new and just had some schmutz in there or something, and since i have three of the hubs having the tool for a full service seemed worth it.
