Chris King Introduces Generation 4 Hub System
My experience with Chris King hubs has been that they're a "buy it for life" purchase. I have every set I've bought and they all work flawlessly. I did buy the tool a few years back, but I've not needed it yet...which makes me feel a bit foolish. My King BBs, headsets, and hubs have all been absolutely great.
I like parts that don't require my thought.

I've got a nice red set of CKs just like you want and I'll never part with them.

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
@RadBartTaylor: That depends on where your bar roll is. Someone down-comments suggested that bar rise should be in the plane of the fork, which I found to be very odd. I would think that most people run their bar rise relatively vertically.

@woofer2609: You just increase stem length in that case. Basic geometry.

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
@mkul7r4: Hard to say since over the course of 6 weeks I bought both the aluminum 16s and the carbon 12s, but since I bought the carbon 12s second, I would assume it was them because all the high-sweep bars went into the handlebar cabinet after the injury.

That just means that whoever changed it didn't realize they were changing geometry in more than one axis and didn't compensate. That's not a frame fault, that's a user fault.

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
@mkul7r4: I tried the SQLab high-sweep bars and they were SOOO comfortable and I was a huge fan until I rode them on an aggressive ride, and then I injured my wrists because the high backsweep took away the range of flex you'd normally get.

If you've been riding long enough, you have a pile of spacers and stems that you can try on any new build/buy to get it just where you want it.

@uponcripplecreek: People run their rise in the plane of the fork? That would feel super weird. The rise on my bars is pretty near vertical.

Stack height is definitely too low for me, so both is the correct answer. I'm less than 5'9" and typically fit a large and run lots of spacers and 50 rise bars...on a low stack stem. I just don't fit right.
