Hi,

I'm considering a Chris King BB (see: http://chrisking.com/bottombracket) for the new project. After hearing so much good stuff about the headsets I figure I can't go wrong.

My other choice would be a Phil Ti BB.

Any experience and advice?

Just noticed the "Designed for Shimano-compatible external bearing type crank systems" bit.

Sorry.

I've got one of these in Square taper 111mm. Ti spindle, ceramic bearings /coated races. weighs 165g (according to token).

Have installed but not ridden it. Looks like a great BB though (just hope it rides as such). picked it up for less than £50 on ZeBay.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
