It has always been something special to bolt parts from high-end tuner Chris King to your bike. The quality of the headsets is legendary, the choice of colours huge. It is therefore only logical that the Americans are now also launching a bottom bracket on the market, suitable for Shimano and Raceface cranksets. It is simply called the "bottom bracket", weighs 101 grams, can be greased from the outside with an adapter and grease gun available as accessories and is available in ten anodised colours. When purchasing the "Pink" edition of the bottom bracket, headset or hub, importer Cosmicsports donates two euros each to the German "Komen" foundation for the cure of breast cancer.
PLUS: High bearing quality
MINUS: slightly heavier than Shimano's new Dura-Ace bottom bracket
