Building a new #gravel bike since now almost two years, when it is finished I do not want it probably anymore like the way it is planned, let's see – so since it takes so much time (which is actually great regarding nice parts), I am exchanging parts without even using them, coming closer to a doctors bike without being a doctor nor a doctors salary. So I changed now the axle on the Chris King hub from standard Shimano freewheel body (why am I even doing this) to XDR, and found out that the hub I have bought used, is a Chris King gen 1 hub, but the attached axle adjusting clamp is a gen 2 version and too big, and was even mounted like that. I don't know why/how the previous owner changed/used this hub, but I ordered now a gen 1 adjusting clamp. Good is, that CK exchange parts can A) be ordered and B) are in stock. Not good is the price, £35 for an axle adjusting clamp without shipping.
