Competitive Cyclist

Some of us say the Chris King Single Speed ISO Disc Hub is too pretty to do anything else but propel a cafe cruiser, while others say this hub works too well to be used on anything but a race/adventure rig. We don't know what you'll decide, but we think everyone will agree that this is one amazing hub.This hub has all the guts, all the glory of a multi-cog cassette hub, just designed around using a single cog. And we love that King throws in both a cog and spacers into the kit. The fun bolts that clamp the hub into the frame are not only easy to use, they're smart design.The Chris King Single Speed ISO Disc Hub works with Fun Bolts. These are threaded Allen-head bolts that go into the hollow axle. They can be swapped out for a quick-release skewer. The axle is 19.5mm in diameter. The 32... Less

A fortunate few companies are market leaders. Rarer still are market obliterators. These companies are so dominant and worthy of their marketshare and mindshare we sometimes wonder why their competition bothers. And no company obliterates quite like Chris King. Is there a single more iconic product in the history of bikes than a Chris King Nothreadset? We think not. In its precision and its durability, the Nothreadset sets the standard for quality in the bike industry -- regardless of what component you're talking about. In unveiling their bottom bracket, Chris King brings their unparalleled standards to the drivetrain for the very first time. It's designed for any Shimano crankset, most notably the Dura Ace FC-7900, Dura Ace FC-7800, and Ultegra SL FC-6600. It's compatible with double,... Less

Some things in life never get old. Every time we drive across Kansas and get to the front range, the striking views of the Rocky Mountains make us giddy and ready for adventure. Every time we lace up a new Chris King hub, we marvel at the jewel-like perfection of the anodized finish. If we had blue hubs on our bikes, we might feel the need to have some red or green or whatever we had in our hands at the moment. The Chris King 10x135mm Rear Thru-Axle Hub will fit any bike with standard 135mm dropout spacing -- cross-country bikes, trail bikes, all-mountain bikes, etc. The difference between this hub and their standard 135mm ISO Disc hub is the absence the use of a quick release skewer. The 10x135mm Thru-Axle hub uses just that -- a 10mm thru-axle to clamp the rear hub into the frame. It is... Less

The Chris King 12x142mm Thru-Axle ISO Disc Rear Hub comes ready to slip into any frame that accepts a 12x142mm thru-axle. It could be cross-country bikes, trail bikes, all-mountain bikes, etc. It doesn't matter the style, only that you're ready to experience a new level of stiffness and security for the rear of your bike.The difference between this hub and their standard 135mm ISO Disc Hub is the absence of the old quick release skewer. The alloy shell is the same, and it uses the same RingDrive freehub system. Most importantly, you'll get the same buzzing-swarm-of-b ees sound when you coast. The 12x142mm thru-axle hub uses just that -- a 12mm thru-axle to clamp the rear hub into the frame. It's a great choice for full suspension frames because it will add stiffness and rigidity to a rear... Less

Chris King components are synonymous with precision and beauty. Anodizing in a myriad of colors, Chris King has become known for hubs that engage without drag, headsets that move buttery-smooth, and bottom brackets that rotate with fluidity. Though other brands can boast similar qualities, it's the made in the USA, built-to-last craftsmanship that makes Chris King Components worth every penny. If you're building up a new bike, or simply looking to upgrade your current bottom bracket, the Chris King Ceramic SRAM Road Bottom Bracket is an upgrade worth throwing down a few extra dollars for. After all, the formula for drag coefficient doesn't have a dollar sign in it.The color pop that the aluminum Chris King bottom bracket cups add to your bike is stunning, but it's what's on the inside...

Art. Chris King parts in general, and their hubs in particular, are functional art. With a sexy shape and mirror smooth anodized finish, they're certainly ogle-worthy. And they're just as beautiful on the inside. They have a well deserved reputation for being as strong as they are light weight. Chris King hubs are easy to maintain, disassemble, rebuild, convert, and customize -- you can do it all.Chris King found that designing the ISO disc hub (a.k.a. 6-bolt pattern) caused them to improve their hubs in general. In addition to lightening them in comparison to their older Universal Disc model, they increased the flange diameter, which makes it easier to thread the spokes and wheels can be stiffer due to the slightly shorter spokes.

When Chris King decided to design a thru-axle front hub, they had a simple goal -- make the best hub money can buy. With the Chris King ISO Disc 20mm Thru-Axle Front Hub, they just might have done it.The 20mm Thru-Axle Hub utilizes a special bearing, almost the size of a headset bearing that King designed for this very purpose. The custom bearing was needed because King designed this hub to have an axle, supported by the bearings, that a 20mm thru-axle slides through. The reason is toughness. A great side effect is that you'll never, ever, ever lose an end cap when you transport your wheel off the bike. The lightweight aluminum axle is protected by stainless steel endcaps to offer durability that will last until the world ends. And if you can see past it's toughness, this hub is as... Less

Chris King components are nothing short of legendary for their lightweight performance, precision, durability, ease of service, and striking good looks.

If you've got a bike frame with a 49mm ID head tube, it will accept a fork with a 1.5 steerer tube. But it also leaves you plenty of opportunity for use with other steerer tube dimensions as long as you use the right headset. This Chris King InSet Model 5 Headset will allow you to mate a fork with a 1-1/8 to 1.5 tapered steerer to your bike. And since it uses King's low-stack InSet top cup, you can get your stem a bit lower if you like (a good thing for smaller riders on long travel bikes).This Model 5 Headset benefits from Chris King's GripLock upper bearing cap. This assembly replaces the older style, one-piece bearing cap that contained the O-ring. Instead, GripLock uses a split ring to center the steerer tube in the upper bearing, and when you preload the assembly, the split ring... Less

Chris King headsets have been the industry benchmark for 35 years -- ever since the company created the first sealed bearing headset in 1976. This InSet 2 Headset is built upon that tradition, though it has different dimensions and style to fit current frame specs. It's designed for bike frames that require a tapered, semi-integrated (zero stack) headset. We're not sure why it took Chris King so long to begin manufacture of their InSet. When we bought our first bike frames that required semi-integrated headsets, we wanted Chris King quality, even if the always luscious polished and anodized parts were going to be mostly obscured by the headtube of the frame. They're available in all configurations now, and the good news is that the InSet headset is like all other King headsets -- it will... Less
