chris king headset bearings/threadset

hurin76 · Nov 29, 2011

I just acquired a chris king headset bearings/threadset. the lower cup is missing its bearings and the ring that holds them.

so would anyone have any or an idea how to get some or a reasoable replacement?

Answered this not to long ago. Only King can provide and fit the new bearings.

thought so..i've had a good look around the internet and that seems to be the general consensus, but seeing as I live in the UK, just thought i'd check here as it's a pain to post, plus it could be expensive as I have no warranty

They replaced a 10+ year old bearing for me once for free. Worth a try.

I mailed them earlier today so we will see, just bought a new top cap, so my cheap chris king is getting more expensive by the minute! £25 so far if I can get the lower bearings for free/cheap i'm winning!!

top caps are an extra 10% off plus an extra 5% if you get the gold price at wiggle..think i just bought the last black one though

if you want new bearings, you can get a full service with the new bearings at bromley bike co for £21.99 probably cheaper to send back to chris king though..
