34 years of stainless steal bearing manufacture and the legendary reliability of King headsets have gone in to the Chris King bottom bracket. 24 stainless steel balls per sealed cartridge style bearing, made in-house and hand checked for perfection plus a five year warranty bring Chris King's unique reliability to bottom brackets. The Chris King bottom bracket also has a grease port - allowing you to keep your bearings running smoothly with an available Chris King grease injector. You can now use a thicker grease for training and replace it with a lighter, faster grease for races.
This road specific bottom bracket is compatible with all external systems as listed on the Chris King website. For non-stepped 24mm systems simply do not use the GXP conversion washer set (e.g. Shimano Hollowtech 2).
