In the annals of cycling history, there are few eponymously name component brands that have stood the test of time like Chris King. In Italy, there is of course, Campagnolo. In America we have Chris King. And not just a made-up name, but a real person who has dedicated his like to the bicycle. From hubs and headsets to bottom brackets and wheels, the name Chris King has long stood for precision, durability, and best of all, lots of bright colors.
New to the Chris King catalog of parts is a new headset designed specifically to meet the needs of modern day internal cable routing. At the moment the Aeroset headset is designed specifically for the Enve In-Route stem, but Chris is making the design available for “partners to create a unified standard for cockpit integration.” Yea!
