Chris King InSet 2 HeadsetInSet™ is the latest addition to the Chris King® NoThreadSet™ family. InSet™ is a low-stack threadless headset designed for use with contemporary frames featuring what would traditionally be called "oversized" headtubes.As times have changed, so have the designs of bicycles.

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.Features: Material: Aluminium, Stainless Steel Use: Road, MTB and Gravel Size: 1 1/8" Type: Integrated Upper and Lower Bearing: IS42/IS42 Baseplate Compatibility: Chris King baseplate and 45 degree integrated crown races 42mm 45x45 upper and lower bearing Patented GripLock retention design for exclusively reliable headset adjustment Legendary made-in-house bearings Engineered, manufactured and assembled in Portland, Oregon USATechnologies: 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.Buy Chris King Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

The Chris King ThreadFit 24 Bottom Bracket elevates your ride experience to a whole new realm. It’s not only phenomenally durable but fully-serviceable and crucially, silent. If you value longevity and a smooth ride day in, day out, then this is an indispensable upgrade to your bike.Bred from over 30 years of bearing development, the ThreadFit Bottom Bracket has been explicitly constructed as the best possible housing for your cranks. In line with Chris King’s guiding ethos, the ThreadFit is built to outlast your material use of it. Rest assured that with a 5-year warranty and tolerances usually only employed in aerospace components, this is a truly unrivalled bottom bracket.The meticulous care and attention invested into the production of each and every ThreadFit engineered, manufactured and assembled in-house at Chris King’s HQ in Portland, Oregon reflects Chris King’s lasting commitment to quality and environmentally conscious manufacturing. Bike disciplines, trends and fashions change but you’ll never go amiss with a ThreadFit Bottom Bracket.Chris King’s legendary steel bearings and heat-treated, surgical-grade steel races not only form a perfectly integrated system but actually become smoother as they burnish with use – wearing in, rather than wearing out. In contrast to many other manufacturers, Chris King has complete control over every aspect of production, meaning that they can make bearings in-house to a specification that simply wouldn’t be achieved otherwise.What all of this means for you is less time servicing your bike and more time enjoying riding it, with the added bonus of silky-smooth, soundless movement. Creaky cranks are a thing of the past with the ThreadFit.Stock size is for a standard 24mm axle ( Shimano Standard) and a 68 - 73mm shell width.

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 24x fits 68mm and 73mm shell widths with 24mm spindles.It’s a silky smooth, long-lasting bottom bracket built around 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.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.
