Chris king ceramic bottom bracket review.
Prior to the chris king bottom bracket i was using bearing kits from real world cycling inside of shimano bb 70 bottom bracket shells.
It s very easy to use and takes just a minute or two to do both bearings.
It s the high quality design and the serviceability that are the real draw which is why i d probably save money and opt for the standard bb over the ceramic version.
As of interbike 2012 chris king will be offering pressfit compatible bottom brackets together with conversion adaptors and user service tools.
Price runs about 140 199 ceramic which is not cheap however down the road shop visits and or new bottom brackets add up.
That plus the fact that ceramic bearings can become pitted if not manufactured correctly was always a big turn off.
Chris king is known for quality durability and just flat out good looking products.
