If you're a road or cyclocross rider, the Chris King R45 Front Hub 100QR hub is for you. Thanks to its lightweight, narrow body and low, aerodynamic phalanges, not to mention the quality of Chris King's own super-fast bearings, it runs like a dream. In fact, you'll find you get faster on your bike as the bearings age. The expert craftsmen at Chris King originally designed this R45 Front Hub as the cornerstone of their hub product line, and the hard work and care they put into creating it has paid off, since it achieves a perfect balance between weight, performance, durability and looks.
