Chris King 1" 1/8 headset in what I think was called Pewter or gun metal?

Just spent the last hour or so servicing the bearings. Stripped, degreased then absolutely packed full of fresh grease.

Includes bolt and crown race not pictured. Race is still on the fork.

Sold

Don't chris King use oil instead of grease?

You could google that and find the answer. The answer being full synthetic grease. They'd say Blue Chris King grease.
I've been using grease on CK headsets for at least twenty years without issue...

Edit - I've heard of pro dh mountain bikers using oil in CK hub bearings instead of grease for reduced drag. Maybe thats what you're thinking of?

Yes please was trying to find this colour and settled on a blue one. so I’m gonna swap out and sell that at the same price. If anyone here after this is interested let me know otherwise I’ll list it soon.

Nice, and just for absolute clarity is packed with a fuck load of grease and not oil😂

The hubs use an oil. Or maybe that was new Dura ace?

DM, will depend on shade of blue (and price).

-Passed because of colour tone, great offer otherwise-

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:

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.
