Chris King Bottom Bracket

Chris King Bottom Bracket

Bling? Yes. Do I really need it? No. Why did I buy it? Cause I can.

Im sure the Shimano xtr bottom bracket would be good for thousands of kilometers, but everything on the fargo was matching except the current bb. I have a red headset, red nipples, red seat clamp, red detail on seatpost and red skewers. So this is the final piece of the puzzle. Once I put this on there is nothing else I could need to do to this bike. Except get a TI frame……. Im sure it will come. I really dont expect this bb to add to the enjoyment of my ride to be effected, but I do care how my bike looks and its all in the finer details. Matching parts being one!

It’s been almost a week since the convict 100. I decided to stay away from the bike for a week to let myself completely recover and i actually feel really good. Compared to my highland fling effort, where I was screwed for a week pretty much, I’m happy to say I have improved as a rider!!

Where to next?

I don’t really know, having a race kinda gives me a goal for my riding. I’m going to aim for the highland fling. It’s not ideal as I’m shooting a wedding the day before but that’s life. The plans for some tours are coming along aswell.
