We build bearings, so we build bottom brackets. The humble threaded bottom bracket is often the first part installed on a new frame, and the last one the rider thinks about during the life of the bike, but the bottom bracket has a direct effect on pedaling efficiency (read: speed). This is where you put your power into the bike. Having the absolute best interface between your effort and your bike’s forward momentum makes your ride better. The Threadfit™ 24 is how we make bikes that take 24mm cranks the best they can be.
ThreadFit™ 24 fits 24mm cranks in BSA bottom bracket shells. Fit Kit is needed to complete the installation.
Our ThreadFit™ 24 bottom bracket is designed and built to be durable, serviceable, and silent. Manufactured to create the most precise interface between your frame’s bottom bracket shell and your cranks, it makes your cranks spin lightly and easily, without interference, for the lifetime of your bike (with a little regular service). King’s legendary, angular-contact bearings, both steel and ceramic, are the best in the industry, and actually get faster over time, as their contact surfaces wear.
You want this bottom bracket because it offers super low drag. You want this bottom bracket, because it can be opened, cleaned and repacked for years of faithful service. You want this bottom bracket, because you don’t want to think an awful lot about your bottom bracket.
Our Threadfit™ 24 bottom brackets come in an array of beautifully anodized colors and each one includes a Fit Kits that allow our ThreadFit™ 24 to be used with a wide selection of road and mountain bike cranks.

The Threadfit™ 30 is how we make bikes that take 30mm cranks the best they can be.
ThreadFit™ 30 fits 30mm and DUB spindle cranks in BSA bottom bracket shells. Fit Kit is needed to complete the installation.
Our ThreadFit™ 30 bottom bracket is silky smooth and long-lasting thanks to our legendary, angular-contact bearings, both steel and ceramic, the best in the industry. They actually get faster over time as their contact surfaces wear, because we build them to ultra-tight aerospace tolerances, using machined, Delrin-spindle sleeves to create a perfect, and precise fit between cranks and frame. That’s where the low drag and butter smooth feel come from.

ThreadFit 30 comes with a Center Sleeve for 73mm BB shell. For 68mm shell - sleeve PBB082 is required (included in Fit Kit #2 for DUB Road cranks).
We build bearings, so we build bottom brackets. T47 is a standard we helped develop, an answer to the imprecise and often loud press fit bottom brackets that appeared on the market a few years ago. T47 offers the benefits of larger bottom bracket shells, mainly frame stiffness, with the upsides of traditional, threaded bottom brackets, precision and quietness.
ThreadFit™ T47 24i fits 86mm and 92mm shell widths with 24mm spindles. Fit Kit is needed to complete the installation.
All our bottom brackets come with King’s legendary, angular-contact bearings, either steel or ceramic. These are the best bearings in the industry, and actually get faster over time, as their contact surfaces wear.

The GripLock™ preloads the headset independently of clamping onto the steerer, so it 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.
Our GripLock™ design also takes the guesswork out of preloading a headset, because the bearing preload force is independent of the clamping force. Our headsets can be preloaded to a torque spec.
Compatible with Open, 3T, All City, Low, Cinelli, Lynskey, and more.

DropSet™ 4 is built to be precise and dependable and sets the standard for quality integrated headset function delivering precision performance that is built on the same pedigree of Chris King headsets from the past 40 years.
PURPLEFrom the beginning we understood that integrated headsets posed a unique challenge in that the 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. That’s a problem we know how to solve.

Product Information:
These 6-bolt mountain sets feature the same precision manufacturing and robust feature set of past models.
Competitors use a more simple axle system with end caps, whereas Chris King uses one-piece solid axles without end caps which provides the stiffest interface with your frame. Delivering every possible watt from the drivetrain to dirt, you’ll no longer be an outsider wondering what all the fuss was about. Heavy duty bearing seals and precision manufactured parts will do their part to keep the mud and water from getting inside the hub shell and bearings, so they will keep running smooth for longer than competitors hubs.
Chris King’s unique RingDrive system in their rear hubs utilizes heat-treated stainless-steel drive and driven rings which handle massive torque loads (over 800 ft/lbs). Road hubs have 45 points of engagement, low drag, and a very solid feeling when you stomp on the pedals. The engagement mechanism lives inside the hub shell which allows it to have more contact area than would be possible with a traditional freehub design which lives outside of the hub shell.
Bearings are one of those items that are often overlooked when purchasing hubs. An inexpensive bearing works well on day one, so it can be an area where hub makers cut costs. With the harsh conditions encountered during cycling, bearings can get contaminated, wear out, and even if you can perform maintenance they never feel like new again. Chris King does things differently! They are the only hub manufacturer we know of that makes their own bearings in-house. Most bearings are generic and function with many different designs, whereas Chris King bearings are purpose built for best performance and longevity in their hubs exclusively. These hand assembled bearings are angular-contact, meaning they allow you to adjust the bearing preload with a simple collar. You don’t want to have your bearings too tight or too loose, so having the ability to adjust this over the life of your hubs is crucial. They are easily user-serviceable without special tools. Simply remove the snap ring and seal, clean, and re-grease and they will roll like new again!
Specifications and Wheel Building Information:
The Boost 6-Bolt front is specifically for “Boost” disc spacing forks with 110x15mm "Boost" axles. Using the larger diameter hubshell bearing the Boost 6-Bolt is designed to tackle rough terrain and aggressive riding such as downhill and enduro. In an evolving landscape of axle specifications, we are confident that the “Boost” disc location is here to stay.
Chris King Boost 6-Bolt front hubs are designed as precision mountain tools. We use one-piece axles to provide a stiff hub with rail accurate steering, transferring every minute adjustment you make to the trail. To thwart mud, water, and contaminants as you power through rough trails, Boost hubs have heavy-duty bearing seals and snaprings, that provide superior protection with ultra low drag.
Our bearings, available in steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races that are machined simultaneously, with tools of equal wear to ensure perfectly matched inner and outer races. The quality and speed of our bearings is what sets us apart from the competition and they are what you will feel and notice on every single ride. As Chris King bearing tracks burnish they get faster with age and all our hubs and bearings are fully serviceable for years upon years of demanding use.
