I have several questions:
1) Who rides Chris King hub with aluminium driveshell?
2) For how long? Did you have any problems with it?
3) Does anybody have singlespeed Chris King hub? (There a steel axle on it, isn't it?)
4) Maybe, somebody knows, is there a steel driveshell for Chris King singlespeed hub?

I live in Russia. So, it would be rather difficult to send it back to the USA (I want to buy it on some website like speedgoat.com. BTW, do you know any other sites, where I can order it?)

i have used the same alu King driveshell for over 3 years

just make sure you use a wide base cog. I recommend Chris King kog, buy this with your hub

aspirevelotech.com is the best place to get your CK hubs/headsets online, they have decent prices and fast delivery around the world. for trials i would suggest to get the full heavy-duty upgrade(meant to last) + disc mounts just in case you would want them some time in the future so you wouldn't have to rplace anything in the next 10 years.

1) me
2) 1.5 years no
3) the SS hub comes with a heavy duty axle as standard, but it's made from aluminium, too
4) don't think so

Singlespeed rear hubs come with a wide based King Kog, so you don't have to worry about the alu driveshell. It's just a problem if you use normal narrow cogs.

I am worry about inner side of the alu driveshell, becuse it's a part of a mechanical system.

The way the inner-side of the the driveshell is made, even though it is aluminum, it won't break. Don't worry about that.
