King is not known to jump on the bandwagon
of every new design that goes by. While the 24mm QR style
hub attachment system is relatively new, we feel that it solves
a variety of problems all at once. For some riding styles,
the old "quick release skewer" type front hub is
just not enough for the job. Along came the thru-axle front
hub for bicycles.
Thru-axles came to bicycles from motorcycling.
They are very strong and it is a time-tested attachment system.
Thru-axles work very well on bicycles too. It's just a pain
to get the wheel on and off to throw your bike in the back
of your car. That's where Maverick's 24mm QR system is better,
two little levers and off comes your front wheel.
Our 24mm front disc hub tips the scales
at a modest 240 grams. It uses the same shell, bearings and
adjusting clamp as our 20mm hub; the only difference is the
axle itself. One axle for 20mm thru-axle systems, one axle
for the 24mm QR system.
In other good news, you'll be able to
get away without rebuilding your wheel if you were running
one of our 20mm hubs before. The wheel will simply need to
be re-dished a little bit to get you going down the road,
or trail as the case may be.
The 24mm Front hub is compatible with
the ISO disc standard, available in all of our colors, in
32° and 36°.
