Product Information

Full details

The Chris King Bottom Bracket Conversion Kit (Fit Kit #1 DUB A) is designed for serious cyclists who demand precision engineering to ensure their cranksets pair perfectly with high-performance Chris King bottom brackets. This essential conversion kit facilitates the use of 28.99mm DUB spindles across both mountain and road configurations, offering versatility for riders who frequently swap components or upgrade their drivetrain. While it provides industry-leading durability and noise reduction, users should be aware that specific bottom bracket shell widths and crank types require careful attention to spacer requirements during installation to ensure proper alignment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this kit work with standard 24mm spindles?

No, this specific kit (Fit Kit #1) is engineered strictly for 28.99mm DUB spindles.

Can I use this for my road bike?

Yes, this kit is compatible with DUB road fitments when using ThreadFit T47 bottom brackets.

Do I need special tools to install this?

While standard bottom bracket tools are used for the cups, the conversion kit components generally press-fit or slide into place. Ensure you have the appropriate Chris King bearing-compatible tools to avoid damage.

What is the difference between this and the Super Boost+ setup?

Super Boost+ cranks have different spacing requirements, necessitating an additional spindle spacer kit beyond what is provided in this standard Fit Kit #1.

How often should I grease the conversion kit components?

It is recommended to inspect and re-grease the interfaces during your annual drivetrain service or whenever you remove the crankset for maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Creaking sound under load

Ensure that the cup spacers were installed correctly for your shell width and re-apply a fresh layer of waterproof grease to the spindle contact points.

Difficulty installing the crank spindle

Verify that your spindle is exactly 28.99mm and that no excess debris or old thread-lock compound is obstructing the inner bearing race.

Lateral movement of the crank

Double-check your spacer requirements. If using a 68mm shell, verify the two 2.5mm spacers are present; for Super Boost+ setups, ensure you have acquired the necessary additional spindle spacer kit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfect compatibility between DUB spindles and Chris King bearings
  • Reduces drivetrain noise and improves power transfer efficiency
  • Allows for modular crankset changes without replacing the entire bottom bracket
  • High-quality build matches the legendary longevity of Chris King components

Cons

  • Requires specific spacer configurations for 68mm shells
  • Needs separate spindle spacer kits for Super Boost+ cranks
  • Professional installation recommended to maintain bearing integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Fit Kit #1 should be handled with a focus on component alignment. Ensure that your bottom bracket shell is clean and properly prepped before inserting the cups and spacers.

Important Compatibility Notes:

  • Spindle Size: Compatible only with 28.99mm DUB spindles.
  • Spacer Requirements: For DUB mountain cranks utilizing a 68mm bottom bracket shell, you must install two 2.5mm cup spacers.
  • Super Boost+: If you are using DUB Super Boost+ cranks, you will require an additional spindle spacer kit not included in this standard package.

Care Tips:

Regularly inspect the interface for debris accumulation. During routine maintenance, remove the crankset to wipe away old grease and apply a fresh coat of high-quality marine or bicycle-specific waterproof grease to the conversion kit surfaces to maintain a weather-resistant seal.
