Greetings Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yet another bb that will require a special tool for screwing it in. And knowing King, it will cost a fortune. I mean what is the point of making a cap that has 6 insets when the standard ones have 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Limburn Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 king make all of their parts awkward so that special / specific tools are required.that way you have to buy the extra tools or pay someone else to do it for you.chris king is a bar steward company really, although the parts are good lol.as has been said, thats just another way of making money. the tool will probably cost about a million squids.

PaRtZ Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 People wil buy it though, if only to say "I've got a chris King BB"And I know I've never experianced the feel of it, but I don't see what is so amazing in paying nearly £100 for a headset My £30 jobbie works perfectly fine! Anyway looks like a good built BB as dave said above, but I still won't buy one unless they're cheap lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 King have been developing this for a few years now, so it will be good- but im not sure if it will be so great for trials.As this will be made to a very high standard, with very good needle bearings and good seals it will be ideal for XC, and will most likely outlast any other BB on the market in terms of muddy miles.For trials though, it may be useful due to the strong axle and bearings, but it may be too expensive for its worth as the forces from trials are harsh in this area, so could lead to accelerated damages on the bearings. Strength is much more inportant than smoothness and sealing on a trials BB, and while the king will be strong, i doubt it will be value for money strong.Also bear in mind king do things light- so that goign to be a Ti axle, steel would be far too heavy, so it will cost over £100.

Brisa Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 If it has a warranty like most other king stuff, I think the thought in your head would be 'oh goody, a new bb!'Looks good, I was sceptical about buying a king hub but Im glad I did. May be the same with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Good thing about that is that if you change from square to isis you don't need a whole new bb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
