Could you run it in an 83mm bb without the spacer? I'm not running the one in my Gravity lights.. saves like 10g.

Is there a Vancouver in Taiwan?! I had no idea!!

liar :D we couldn't even get it to register on the scale!

our Canuck buck in the dumper is probably the best thing that's ever happened to the local bike shops. I can't even bring myself to peruse the online shops these days knowing I'm paying 20[HTML_REMOVED]#37; on top.

looks like I was underclaiming.

I think your scale is bunk.. better retract all your Tang weights..

Except for the fact that everyone is still expecting to see at-par prices locally…

I am curious to see how well they last.

It takes serious balls to offer a 5-year warranty on a bottom bracket when most folks who ride seem to go through 1+ a year.

Where is the grease port? How available is the grease purge tool?

Yeah, I'm wondering too. They don't really show it on the website either..

I bought a King headset in 2000, and it's still great and am glad it doesn't creak. They have 10yr warranty, so if it's not a maintenance issue, you can get yourself sorted.

put it into a different frame that's not ovalized, and I bet your creak will disappear.

Or install it with some grease.

Does CK make a 1.5 to 1-1/8 headset yet?

dont install it with grease in that case install it with neverseize. Grease is fine if you want to rip it apart once a year.
