King make a 150 TA?maxyedor said:What's the big kick with I9 wheels? They look to be just a King hub, and some super custom impossible to find when you break 'em spokes.

this is all the colors they come in
and to answer your question maxyedor they are the stiffest and possibly(correct me somone if im wrong) lightest DH wheelset available, the also have more engagment points then any other wheelset on the maket, more then king, hadley and dt swiss.and then of course theres the bling factor haha
you can read all about them on
www.industrynine.net
and for anyone ordering them they do not come with a rear axel.
Nope, but Hadley does, and my local shop has spokes to fit a Hadley (far better than King anyway IMHO) in-stock. As for them having more engagement points than King/Hadley, care to put a number on that claim? I beleive Hadley makes a 124 point hub, and had always heard that King makes the I9 hubs in the first place.ragin-sagin said:King make a 150 TA?
89yota said:Never been much of a fan of the mavic systems. They make great rims but their hubs are absolutely garbage. Read the owners manual on those wheels, it tells you to basically dissasemble and clean and rebuild your hub every few rides. So they're way labor intensive. I also can't even begin to tell you how many people have returned crossmax, crossride, and all the like due to the excessive hub wear after only a month of riding. And good luck having Mavic warranty their stuff.
Personally, I can't wait till my Phil Woods come in. Absolutely bombproof hubs. As for the rim...I haven't the faintest Idea of what I'll get

Hadley used to make a 108 engagement hub. That is no longer available. You can ony get hadleys in 72 or 36 now. Also I'm pretty positive that I9 makes everything in house (so king has nothing to do with it). Plus I9 hubs don't use ring drive which king would have pushed them to if they were infact making the hubs.maxyedor said:Nope, but Hadley does, and my local shop has spokes to fit a Hadley (far better than King anyway IMHO) in-stock.

Also the I9 spokes are 12guage instead of 14. They are aluminum but are stronger and stiffer than steel spokes. And the wheelset comes with some extra spokes incase you do need to replace one.
yeah, jamie made them go boom. (but what doesent he?)SuspectDevice said:So far the only failure issues have been with people running the .9mm spokes with either dt 5.1's or Rhyno Lyte XL's. Those rims are just too soft.
He doesn't make his R9 frame go boom.Red Bull said:yeah, jamie made them go boom. (but what doesent he?)
For their intended purpose does it really matter? Going on about engagement points just seems like a pointless pissing contest to me. It's not like there are not plently of other decent hubs with more than enough engagement points.maxyedor said:As for them having more engagement points than King/Hadley, care to put a number on that claim?
Right. Hadley and I9 both make great products, and I9 is pushing forward the development of wheels. King, though, is a waste of money. Their hub prices are ridiculous..:Jeenyus:. said:
