Chris King Bottom Bracket
Finally! Chris King debuts its long awaited bottom bracket
Chris King officially unveiled its long awaited bottom bracket Photo ©: James Huang
After years of anticipation and piles of rumor and speculation, Chris King will finally offer a bottom bracket with its much-respected logo. The new bit will use stainless steel bearings similar to those in its near-bulletproof headset and will also incorporate a clever grease injection system that makes for fast overhauls or even situation-specific lube replacement.
The new bottom bracket can be had in either road or mountain versions and Chris King will offer the precision machined aluminum cups in the entire range of ten anodized colors, which now also includes brown. Also on tap will be a similarly precise machined aluminum cup installation/removal tool, though unfortunately a few months after the bottom bracket's October debut.
If the bottom bracket is anything like Chris King's headsets, we have grand expectations here indeed. The best part is that it's not even terribly expensive: suggested retail is a palatable US$129.
Chris King has been busy in the hub department, too, with a wealth of new sizes that include 10mm and 12mm thru-axle rears and road-specific 130mm OLD bolt-on singlespeed and cassette hubs. Front hub fitment options now cover the complete gamut of possibilities and now includes not one, but two 15mm thru-axle options.
The lighter route uses the 9mm shell but the 20mm option will likely appeal to riders who might already have a 20mm Chris King front wheel in the corral. Retrofit axle kits will be available for both.
Things haven't slowed down in the headset realm, though. Soon to be standard sotto voce shallow etching retains the standard Chris King logo but doesn't go all the way down to the base metal for a more subtle look. Deep-style etching will remain a stock option for black headsets and a special order for other colors.
And coming sometime in the future are hidden-type internal headsets called InSet. Chris King is still evaluating fitment options with a number of key builders but like the bottom bracket, this is something many of us have been anticipating for quite a while. Unfortunately, no possible release date was offered nor were we permitted to shoot images. Suffice to say, though, the samples were shiny and anodized with laser-etched logos. Stay tuned.
