Chris King Precision Components are fully serviceable and built to last a lifetime. Please also see our Videos and Contact information for assistance. 

FACTORY SERVICE

All Chris King products are fully serviceable.

Our goal is that no matter how many miles you’ve ridden, we can keep your Chris King parts providing optimal performance for years to come. Our components are made to last a lifetime with regular maintenance, and get better with age. In fact, we have designed our bearings so that, as our angular contact bearing races burnish they get even faster with age. 

If you would like us to service your Chris King components we offer the following:

• Front Hub Service $30 – Complete disassembly, inspection, and overhaul of axle and bearings, ensuring that they remain at factory tolerance. 
• Rear Hub Service $55 – Complete disassembly, inspection, and overhaul of RingDrive, axle, and bearings, ensuring that they remain at factory tolerance.
• BB Service $30 – Complete disassembly, inspection of cups, and overhaul of bearings, ensuring that they remain at factory tolerance.
• Headset Service $30 – Complete disassembly, inspection of cups, and overhaul of GripLock and bearings, ensuring that they remain at factory tolerance.

After evaluating your parts, we will contact you before proceeding if there are any additional costs beyond the service.

For international customers, contact your local Chris King dealer/distributer for service/warranty requests.

Our turnaround time varies depending on season, but is typically under one week upon receipt of product. Service requests are processed as they are received.

To set up a service, you must contact us, inform us of the issue or request, provide billing and shipping address, phone number, and email. We will email a RA ticket to include with the return of the product. Any returns without an RA will be denied.

If you have any questions or would like to set up an RA request, you can use our Technical Support Form.
