Another great king product: 15mm axle converter, so I've been able to transfer my 20mm hub from the previous build to this one.  |

Thought you were cutting back? Looks nice, Im waiting to see if those chris kings bb's are as good as the headsets, wish they didnt need a specific tool. And Fork/Hub looks sweet too, going to be my next set up.

Thats BB looks sweet!
I was told that the standard shimano tool fits them.
Am waiting for an ISO to 15mm kit for mine.Is it easy to fit?

I heard because they dont have a back the shimano tool just slips over, so you need a socket type, and chris king are making there own.
Which is off-putting if your stuck without the tool, every bike shop has a ht2 so your never stuck, but I dont think everyone will get in the king tool.

The BB goes in really easily, threaded in both side all the way by hand, then used the shimano tool to tighten up. I was worried about marking it but no problems, the instructions say you can use the park tool / shimano or their own.
Axle change is less than a minute, undo the lock ring, pull the old axle out, put the new one in tighten back up the lock ring.
Cutting back? more strengthening the fleet!
