Description Lightweight Stan's Rims With Bombproof Chris King ISO Hubs
The Stans NoTubes Flow MK4 Chris King 29 Inch Wheelset is designed to conquer any trail. It features Chris King ISO hubs and extra-wide, durable alloy Flow MK4 rim, which combine to make the ultimate mountain goat wheelset.
The Ride:
Chris King's workhorse mountain wheelset is built for those who descend like a cannonball and climb like a goat. The Stan's Flow MK4 wheels are designed for riders who demand manufacturing precision and on-the-line performance. Built to Chris King ISO hubs with 72-points of simultaneous engagement, the Flow MK4 rims ride like rockets ready for their next World Cup DH win.
The Rim:
The Stan's Flow MK4 is an extra-wide, durable, and trusted alloy rim. Tubeless-ready featuring Stan's Genuine Bead Socket Technology, these bad boys roll faster, corner harder, and withstand even bigger hits than their predecessor.
With 30mm of internal width the Flow MK4 is ready for 2.3"-2.6" tires and the new profile reduces the likelihood of pinch flats.
The Hubs:
Chris King ISO hubs are designed as precision mountain tools. The Portland, OR-based wheel builders use one-piece solid axles to provide a stiff hub with rail accurate steering, transferring every minute adjustment you make to the trail.
To thwart mud, water, and contaminants as you power through rough trails, ISO hubs have heavy-duty bearing seals and a threaded drive shell seal ring.
King bearings, available in steel and ceramic, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously to ensure perfectly matched inner and outer races. The quality and speed of King bearings are what sets them apart from the competition and they are what you will feel and notice on every single ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get faster with age and all our hubs and bearings are fully serviceable for years upon years of demanding use.
The patented Chris King RingDrive with 72-points of simultaneous engagement will get your power to the ground fast, provide unmatched engagement, and give you that legendary Chris King angry-bee sound.

So far so good
Solid wheelset with CK hubs at a great price. My only qualm was the rear wheel showed up out of true. Had to get that sorted, but so far otherwise, and a few rides in, they're pretty awesome.
