Chris King Bottom Bracket Cup Set
Chris King have been making stainless steel bearings at their headquaters for 34 years and never has there been a component that benefited more from their quality than the external bottom bracket.

Chris King Bottom Bracket Cup Set
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"What else would you expect from a Chris King BB. Very well made and easy to fit with correct tool either a park tool or Shimano. Very smooth and quiet. Little drag to speak of. Keeps chainset stiff and in line. Good selection of spacers etc. Needs a good grease to install correctly."

Top Quality Serviceable BB
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit, serviceable, easy to fit
Cons: Expensive, long time waiting for stock
"Fitted to Boardman HT Pro MTB with Truvativ triple chainset. Bought this for £87 on special offer. Initially sent wrong item (ROAD) and after a frustrating month, got the right one sent. Very easy to fit with the supplied instructions and the right tools. Used old shell to push adaptor sleeve onto spline as it was a tight fit. Used 4 spacers as per instructions (68 mm shell width). The BB is now silky smooth and there is absolutely no play whatsoever. The cups look good too; the red anodised material wasn't marked at all by the cup spanner (Park Tools). Expensive addition to bike, but these can be serviced, unlike most other replacement bottom brackets. Very pleased!"

Quality bottom bracket at a reasonable price
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Good Fit
"Purchased this to replace a SRAM GPX Blackbox Ceramic BB which developed play due to worn bearings after only 18 months use. Replacement value of the sram was AU$200. Chris King alternative was only $80, and comes with a great reputation for quality. Assembly is not straight forward, but the instructions got me over the line. The product is machined very well and very solid under foot. A quality B at a reasonable price. And comes in a great range of colours. Mine's gold."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Racers take note! With the Chris King bottom bracket and injection tool, you can train day-to-day with a durable high-viscosity grease and race with a light, fast-rolling low-viscosity grease or oil. Imagine your current Friday night leg-shaving ritual finishing with a few minutes in the garage to get your bike as smooth as you are"

not 100% sure, yet...
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: feels makeshift
"Didn't start too well as I ordered the Sram road version and received a Sram MTB one, and apparently they are not cross compatible, in fairness to Wiggle I've not contacted them as I figure i'll just use it on my MTB Sram XX crankset.
the CK setup for Sram is not as seamless as their standard Shimano one and seems a little makeshift rather than a design dedicated to the Sram GXP fitment, i'm a little disappointed with CK for this.
Otherwise, bearings/cups etc are all good, but time will tell how durable the spacer/washer solution is..."
