Why the hell would you stretch your spring?
Is it clean, are you using proper fluid? Torquing it right?

Sounds to me like poor user maintenence. I've got a king with no special parts, just the cheap aluminum parts and it works flawlessly because I haven't taken it apart and stretched my spring and tried to modify zero tolerant parts.

I recently re-built mine with triflow instead of CK lube. I did also streach my spring and that did the trick. It doesen't skip any and works flawless.

I would never recommend stretching the spring. I bought my hub used, rebuilt it, never stretched anything, and it works flawless...

Phil wood is also an awesome thin lube to use on the ring drive. Protects it a bit more too since it is just a tiny bit thicker. But Chris king ring drive lube should be used inside the bearings, unless you aren't doing a full overhaul.

Nem hittem volna hogy miskolcon is van egy King agy!
Én sem nyújtogatnám a rugókat benne....
Ahogy a srácok mondták: szedd szét, olajozd be és ne tépd meg mint a barom ;)
A King oldalán van szerelési útmutató!

What do you mean as proper fluid? I used a normal engine oil. I know, it is not so good, but i dont know what to buy.
