Grip Nut & 2 Nuts Threaded Set For Chris King By ImprovePart Team

1“ and 1 1/4" are 2 nuts version, 1 1/8" is GripNut version. This is a conversion kit for the GripNut. The Chris King bearing cups are the same for all sizes, so the conversion can be done by replacing the upper set of parts from the upper one. The item just includes threaded unit, it used for...

Are these the same as gripnutted CK's?
I have a red KC aheadset and was wondering if I should look for one or buy one.
Which is moot if they aren't the same but I never seen the other versions.
@raidan73 I remember we had a conversation you owned one or two.

This is what I have.

From what I can tell, the 1 1/8" version is pretty much the same design as the Gripnut, 1" and 1 1/4" are your common/garden double-nut design.

Interesting company, hadn't heard of them but looks like they're remaking some pretty cool vintage parts that could be used to bling up daily-riders guilt-free

Well if they are the same I could swap my ahead for someones gripnut.
Hence the question.

Was about to ask - what are the odds of getting anything delivered from that site!

They have nice stuff, M900 hoods.
Not ordered from them myself btw.

Bought a canti hanger for a Bomber fork, turned up quickly, is pretty good quality and was well under half the price of other options.
I've managed to lose it since but that's not their fault!

Ah I think I understand now, thought you were asking if the China Gripnut is made the same way as the original. The way I understand it is, the top part is interchangeable so you could swap your ahead for Gn I believe yes.

A mate of mine has a bunch of parts from them.
There remake Onza ho's, peace hangers, seat posts etc
All seem pretty good, and arrived in good time.
They are a legit company, the guy who runs it is on here and the FB group pages
