Chris King Bottom Bracket Cup Set: Chris King have been making stainless steel bearings at their headquaters for 34 years & never has there been a component that benefited more from their quality than the external bottom bracket. The Chris King bottom bracket is specifically designed for crank systems with outboard bearing cups & is available in the full assortment of colours that only King can do. It all starts with the bearings. They make their own bearings in-house & their process allows them to place more balls per bearing, 24 to be exact, than their competitors
- more rolling elements per bearing translates to a stronger overall bearing system. A bottom-bracket specific upgrade to the legendary sealing system allows the bearings to be purged & re-greased using Kings precision made injector tool. This combination of strength & serviceability gives them the confidence to offer an industry-leading 5-year warranty on all bottom brackets. Compatibility: King offer bottom bracket cups in combination with a plastic centre sleeve & three anodized 2.5mm chainline spacers for 24mm crank axle systems such as Shimano Hollowtech II. Only 108 grams New for 2010 is the SRAM-compatible 24mm stepped axle configuration. The stepped axle Chris King bottom bracket makes use of a fit kit to match the crank axle to Kings standard cups & bearings but without use of chainline spacers. 125 grams. 24mm Axle systems include: Shimano Hollowtech II, Race Face X-Type, FSA Mega Exo 24mm Stepped Axle systems include: SRAM GXP, Truvativ GXP, Bontrager GXP Chris King strongly recommend using the BB External Cup Tool & torque wrench for proper installation Various colours available, but not all colours are pictured

Chris King Dropset 4 (IS42/IS42) Headset Headsets

Chris King started making headsets in 1976 and have been refining them ever since. This model features a robust aluminium construction, which makes it more than ready to handle all the intensity that comes with long days on your bike. Whether you're clocking up the miles with your local road club or shredding the MTB trails, this versatile headset is engineered for maximum strength and performance. Built for precision, it sets the standard for quality by offering an integrated headset design that's built on the same pedigree of the brand's headsets from the past 40 years. Coming complete with a patented GripLock retention design, this model offers exclusively reliable headset adjustment. Technologies: GripLock: The most significant challenge to overcome is that integrated bearings are
not pressed into a cup and sit loosely in the frame. When bearings are not pressed securely into a cup they shift and move, rapidly losing preload. As preload drops, the bearings are more susceptible to creaking, damage, and failure. Chris King's patented GripLock™ bearing cap is tried and tested and is a patented design that preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer. The GripLock™ design ensures that the Chris King DropSet™ 4 retains preload far better than the competition and is impervious to the ill effects of load spikes from large hits and heavy braking. This means smoother steering, no more creaking, and a longer-lasting headset.
