Product Information

Full details

The Chris King RingDrive 2.0 Lube is an essential maintenance product for owners of Chris King rear hubs who want to optimize performance and increase component longevity. Engineered with advanced nano-particle technology, this lubricant significantly reduces mechanical resistance and enhances cold-weather reliability; however, it requires the user to thoroughly clean out all old lubricants before application to ensure the new formula bonds correctly to the drive rings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this lube on other brands of hubs?

No, this lubricant is specifically engineered for the tolerances and material composition of Chris King hub systems.

How often should I re-lube my hub?

Maintenance intervals depend on riding conditions, but generally, a thorough cleaning and re-lubrication should be performed every few months or after riding in heavy mud or rain.

Does this lube work on the hub bearings as well?

Yes, this formula is suitable for both the RingDrive assembly and the Chris King hub bearings.

What tools do I need for application?

You will need standard hub service tools to disassemble the hub and a 2.5mm hex key to assist with the application process.

Why is the nano-particle technology important?

The nano-particles fill microscopic irregularities on the metal surfaces, creating a smoother, more durable layer that reduces friction better than standard oils.

Troubleshooting

Hub feels sluggish after applying new lube

You may have applied too much lubricant. Remove the excess with a clean cloth, as the RingDrive system only requires a thin, light coating.

Engagement is slipping or inconsistent

This often occurs if the old lubricant was not fully removed. Clean the drive rings again thoroughly with a solvent to remove all old residue and re-apply.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces internal hub friction
  • Improved engagement performance in freezing weather
  • Protects expensive hub internals from premature wear
  • Easy to apply with standard workshop tools
  • Engineered specifically for Chris King tolerances

Cons

  • Requires complete removal of old grease before application
  • Compatible only with Chris King hubs
  • Small bottle size limits total number of service cycles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To perform maintenance, first remove the rear wheel and access the RingDrive assembly. Carefully remove all old, contaminated lubricant using a clean, lint-free cloth or a non-residue degreaser. It is critical that no dirt or debris remains, as the nano-particles require a clean surface to function effectively. Once clean, apply 1-2ml of the lubricant to the drive and driven rings. Use a 2.5mm hex key if necessary to ensure even distribution. This product is strictly compatible with Chris King hubs and should not be used in other branded hub systems that may require different viscosities. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent contamination.
