Frequently Asked Questions
Precision-engineered support for your cycling performance.
What makes Chris King bearings different from other brands?
We manufacture our own stainless steel bearings in-house at our Portland, Oregon factory. This allows us to maintain extreme precision and control, resulting in bearings that actually get smoother as they wear in, rather than wearing out.
How do I maintain my Chris King components?
Regular maintenance is key to longevity. We recommend cleaning and re-greasing your bearings at least once a season or more frequently if you ride in wet or muddy conditions. Our components are fully serviceable with standard shop tools.
What is the 'King Lifetime Warranty'?
We stand behind our craftsmanship. Our King Lifetime Warranty covers headsets, bottom brackets, and hubs against manufacturing defects for the life of the original owner, ensuring your investment is protected.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship our precision components to cyclists worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by destination and are calculated at checkout. Please note that international orders may be subject to local customs duties.
Can I return a product if it doesn't fit my bike?
We accept returns on unused, uninstalled items in their original packaging within 30 days of purchase. Because precision fit is critical, we recommend consulting our fit guides or contacting our support team before ordering.
Are your products environmentally friendly?
Sustainability is a core value. We are a certified B Corp, utilizing a closed-loop coolant system and recycling 100% of our metal scraps to minimize our environmental footprint during the manufacturing process.
