Why Chris King Make This

• Contemporary bicycle frame designs are incorporating larger diameter headtubes and tapered-steerer forks to improve the bike’s front end stiffness, and as a result handling accuracy. This move has made particular sense for off-road bikes. Chris King evolved the form and function of their legendary NoThreadset to address the variety of tapered steerers and headtubes on the market today.
