It was only a matter of time before Chris King put their bearing expertise into an external bottom bracket, and now after several years of rigorous testing they’ve finally released the finished article. Each one comes with a five year warranty and the ability to be easily serviced thanks to a grease injection tool. For the racer who’s looking to save every fraction of a second they also say that you can run high-viscosity grease for general use and then flush it out with oil come race day for minimum resistance. It might be pricy but if it lasts anywhere near as long as their headsets it’ll be money well spent. Oh, and the classy new brown colour you see before you is now available on all Chris King products.
