Chris King ThreadFit T47A 24 Ceramic Bottom Bracket

The Chris King ThreadFit T47A 24 Ceramic Bottom Bracket is a threaded T47 bottom bracket for 24mm spindle cranks, built around Chris King's own angular-contact bearings with a ceramic upgrade. Chris King makes its bearings and bottom brackets in the US, and the company is known for hardware that riders keep, service and move from frame to frame.

Threaded bottom brackets fix the creaks that press-fit shells can develop over time. ThreadFit is Chris King's answer to that: it threads into a T47 shell for a secure, stiff connection, and it can be opened, cleaned and repacked rather than replaced when it wears. The ceramic bearings in this version are intended to reduce friction in the drivetrain and run smoothly.

The bottom bracket comes in ten colors, from Silver, Black and Matte Black to Matte Turquoise, Midnight, Red, 3D Violet, Matte Jade, Matte Mango and Matte Gold 50th, so it can match a Chris King headset or hubs set or contrast with the frame. Check the product page for shell width and crank compatibility before ordering, because T47 shells and crank spindles vary between frames.

It suits riders who want a long-lived, quiet bottom bracket for a threaded T47 frame and who would rather service a part than replace it.
