Why We Make This
You wouldn’t make your own pasta from scratch and then pour jarred sauce on it. So yeah, the kind of people who make their own bearings also meticulously test and select their lubricants. It’s kinda who we are.
Why You Want It
Chris King Gold Grease is a high-speed lubricant optimized for hub and bottom bracket bearings. Gold Grease delivers the perfect balance between lubrication and stability. It yields the lowest possible drag (i.e. speed) while still providing excellent weather resistance. It holds up over time. Gold Grease is our lowest-drag (fastest) lubricant ever, contributing to increased bearing speed over time (wear-in), while remaining stable, within the bearing, for longer periods of time. It's a lubricant that increases the reliability of your King components. It’s also compatible with both our steel and ceramic bearings.
Available in two sizes:
- 100g (3.5 fl. oz.), this is enough to service about 48 hubsets.
- 25g (.9 fl. oz.), this is enough to service about 12 hubsets.
The chart above shows a drag comparison between our Gold Grease(top line, in gold) and our previous Silver Grease(bottom line, in silver). Gold Grease significantly reduces drag on a brand new hub, and improves significantly faster as our bearings wear in over the first 1000 miles.
