Chris King has been making stainless-steel sealed bearings for 34 years, and 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 and is available in the full assortment of colors that only King can do. It all starts with the bearings. King makes their own bearings in-house and the process allows them to place more balls per bearing—24 to be exact . More rolling elements per bearing creates a stronger overall bearing system. This bottom bracket works seamlessly with King's precision injector tool (sold separately) so that flushing new grease into your bottom bracket is a quick and easy operation. Requires a Chris King Conversion Kit for installation.

InSet™ is the classic, unbeatable Chris King sealed bearing headset built into six configurations for contemporary bicycle headtube dimensions. As a low-stack style headset, the press-in cups and bearings are housed within the headtube allowing for an overall lower ride height. InSet compatibility can also conform to forks with tapered steerer tubes.

The NoThreadSet™ features aluminum cups, bearing cap, and stemcap built around our renowned stainless steel sealed bearings. Each NoThreadSet™ includes a stainless steel baseplate and our custom starnut with bolt.

2Nut is the preferred headset for anyone using a threaded fork and quill stem in combination with headset spacers and/or a cable hanger. It is a popular headset with cyclocrossers and randonneurs. The 2Nut features stainless steel sealed bearings housed in aluminum upper and lower cups. Adjusting nuts and lock nuts are also made of aluminum.

The headset that Chris King built its name on, the 2Nut is still the gold standard for 1-inch threaded headsets. Whether you're tuning up a classic frame or going full retro on a custom build, the durability, performance, and incredible adjustability of the 2Nut have kept it a crowd favorite for almost 35 years. The 2Nut turns on a pair of Chris King's silky smooth stainless-steel bearings, and the precision machined cups and locking nuts make adjustments stable and simple.

Got a threaded steerer without spacers or brake hangers? Chris King's GripNut Headset is the choice for you. Ideal for heavy touring and riding over rough terrain, the GripNut features an extra threaded collet that locks the steerer in place, offering incredible holding power and adjustability. It’s also a welcome solution for forks with damaged or undersized threads. The additional collet makes it easy to install a fork that's had its steerer tube cut too short.

Press Fit BBs will gives customers the same performance, serviceability, and dependability that they have come to expect from every Chris King product.

Chris King's one piece axles are quickly interchangeable allowing you to easily transfer your Chris King equipped wheels between bicycles.

Axle conversion kits are required for converting your current hub to be used on various other axle platforms. - Small Diameter (SD) Axle for 15mm forks - Fits Chris King ISO SD Front Hubs (9mm and 15mm only) - Takes existing 9mm QR Chris King ISO Hubs and allows you to run a 15mm Thru Axle - All axles require an adjusting clamp for installation

Bearing preload adjustment is now easier thanks to the new helper hole. Simply insert a 2.5mm hex key into the helper hole and use the key as a lever to turn the adjusting clamp. All hubs that use a one piece axle now have this new feature.

Designed for Chris King's NoThreadSet threadless system and available in 1” and 1 1/8”. Match your current headset color or mix it up for a custom look. What Chris King says about the Griplock system: "Our headsets feature an all-new bearing cap design. GripLock™ is a multi-piece bearing cap that utilizes a split ring that improves steerer tube interface."

Chris King's precision headset spacers are made to the same exacting standards as our headsets. Each spacer is lathe-cut from high-grade aluminum bar stock in a single operation ensuring exactness of size, concentricity, and parallel surfaces.

Another excellent Chris King product. In their words: "To many, this is commonly called a crown race. We choose to call it a baseplate as ours is technically not a race. It is the foundation of the venerable Chris King Sealed Bearing headset and is designed as a low cost, sacrificial piece, easily replaced when worn or damaged upon removal."
