I am after a brand new/unused Chris King mtb centrelock rear hub (boost) - 148 x 12mm XD in black, 28 holes (either steel or ceramic bearings) but can’t find one anywhere
Any suggestions where I might find one quickly.
I have a 10 month old Enve hub which has cracked and I want to replace it with something better.
Apparently Eve don’t provide any warranty on their hubs, only their rims
Thanks
There’s a black one too
Thanks but I don’t think they do have a black one. They do have a two tone black but I need black to match the front one
Enve website says 5 years on hubs? Is there more to what you say re. warranty, did they refuse it?
Saddleback (UK importer/distributor) told me that they don’t warrant the hubs - I will give them another call tomorrow
Interesting. They also say;
Warranty and Crash Replacement
In addition to our regular 100-day returns policy on unused items, all items purchased from www.saddleback.co.uk are covered by our full two-year warranty against manufacturing defects from date of purchase. We will exchange, refund or repair (at our discretion) items proven to exhibit manufacturing or material faults in line with fair wear and tear.
Hope it gets resolved for you

black with pink logos, rather than white
I’ve used them BITD
I’ve used Aspire Velotech many times. Always good.
As above avt bike, ive used them loads. Never been caught for import duties either 🤫
I've always had to pay duties and vat with AVT. I'd still use them to get CK bits not available in the UK... and prices end up much the same as if they were available in the UK. It's not like we can pick up the bits from anywhere in Europe without duties any more.
Ive got a couple of chris king bits on back order from avt 🤞 i always take in to account vat and import duties and generally its still cheaper.
Like others - I've always had to pay duties on AVT orders. They usually come via FedEx or USPS with a very visible declaration of their substantial value.
You can use the code "welcome10" for 10% off.
My back order bits were delivered today via USPS/Royalmail no fees.
I'd still like to know the back story of Enve not guaranteeing a 10 month old broken hub, considering the price of their wheels. On the face of it that sounds piss poor.
I'm just being nosey of course, this is not going to influence any purchasing decision I'm about to make. 🤣

I know this is not what you asked but...

I've been using one for a year or so now and there's no way I'd buy a Chris King hub at £600+ when these can be had for just over £200
And you know Hope will warranty their hubs.
A quick update. The Envelope importers who told me that my hub wasn’t covered under warranty have now backtracked after my bike shop put in a warranty claim. They have agreed to replace “like for like” and don’t even want to see the broken hub!
Not sure what I will do with it as I picked up my new Chris King wheels today. Very nice they are too even if the the Chris King rear hub isn’t as loud as the Envelope!
Nice autocorrect.
I'm not surprised they backtracked. Be a hard case to argue that what sounds like a material failure on a less than 1 year old hub wasn't a warranty issue. Your still in your statutory rights at that point.
