Chris King components are designed to be the last you will ever need! Chris King‘s goal is that no matter how many miles you’ve ridden, they can keep your Chris King components performing providing optimal performance for years to come.
They have replacement parts for all of their products and do not believe in obsolescence. In fact, they have designed their angular contact bearings to be angular so as they wear in they get even faster with age.
One of the many advantages to Chris King bearings and components is their serviceability. Their bearings are designed with reusable seals and snap rings that are easy to remove and reinstall, providing access to clean and lubricate the bearings. A simple service every 6-12 months will make Chris King bearings better than new.
Like any mechanical product, they all do require their regular maintenance to keep them in top working order and promote the life of the components for years to come.

Chris King makes long-lasting, precision components that they stand behind for life.
As a manufacturer, Chris King have gone to great lengths to minimize their environmental impact, such as using canola oil instead of traditional cutting fluid so that they can recapture, clean, and reuse it indefinitely. But the impact of manufacturing goes well beyond making parts in an environmentally friendly way. The impact of what Chris King makes includes the entire lifespan of the part as it is ridden, serviced, and ridden more.
Their emphasis on the environment is widespread. There components and bearings are designed to be fully serviceable, but if you actually manage to damage one, the Chris King Lifetime Warranty means that they will repair any part that hinders the function of your component free of charge.
