Manufactured to create a precise and functional interface between your frames bottom bracket shell and your 24mm cranks, our ThreadFit™ 24 bottom brackets ensure that your cranks will spin lightly and without interference. To help with bike fit issues we have developed a range of conversion kits that allow our ThreadFit™ 24 to be used with a wide selection of road and mountain bike cranks. As with all Chris King components in our ThreadFit™ 24 bottom brackets it all starts with the bearings. We make our bearings in-house and our process allows us to place more balls per bearing than our competitors. More rolling elements per bearing translates to a stronger overall bearing system. A bottom bracket-specific upgrade to our legendary sealing system allows the bearings to be purged and re-greased using our precision made injector tool. This combination of strength and serviceability gives us the confidence to offer an industry-leading 5-year warranty on our bottom brackets.
This superb model employs a disciplined approach to manufacturing which includes rigorous quality control and highly developed production protocols.

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.
