Was surprised to see there was no thread on touring hubs. There is a lot of discussion online over the last 10 years with regards to this but I dont see much consensus and I trust people here...for some reason.
Long story short, I built up some wheels for lightish weight (not kitchen sink) but long distance touring and I went with Chris King R45D hubs...cause well....cHriS kiNg LaSt fOreVer.
Now I'm worried because if/when they need serviced or fail I'm not going to find anyone to do that in Albania (I imagine) for instance.
I've got 6 weeks to sort it, if indeed it is something that needs sorted, what am I getting?
32 hole, centre lock disc, 11 speed.
Shimano something?
