Right on. Yes! I've got a pewter set, which is on my primary trail bike. My oldest set, that I bought used. But my original 20mm is semi-retired. Had the same issue with preloading the bearings on some hubs and King gave me new compression rings that resolved that issue. I do a biannual simple clean and lube. About every 3 or 4 years, with a new wheel build, I send the hub back to King for a full service and any needed upgrades.
