Chris King Precision Components Announces Ceramic Bottom Bracket

A few years back, Chris King Precision Components finally came out with their long rumored bottom bracket. It was offered in a high grade, stainless steel ball bearing type, outboard bearing configured style. While the bottom bracket rotated effortlessly with a crank set installed, you knew it would only be better with ceramic bearings, right?

Well, now you can get it!
