I've got a relatively new set of King wheels, and I'm really having a devil of a time with the rear
hub binding. The freehub mechanism so freakin' tight that the chain slops all the way down to the
chainstay when I backpedal or transition from pedaling to coasting. (Better description/cause: the
freehub mechanism has MAJOR HUGE SUPER-BIG resistance, which means the chainrings move backward, but
the cassette doesn't, so the chain sags).
I RTFM, and noted the 60 hour break-in period, blahblahblah. I guess I'm just looking for a little
reassurance from other King users; and maybe some suggestions on how to minimize that break-in
period. 60 hours is quite a lot of trail riding to put up with this problem . . .
BTW the bearings are adjusted properly - they're not too tight. The problem occurs even if they're
so loose as to have considerable slop.
