Why We Make It We build bearings, so we build bottom brackets. T47 is a standard we helped develop, an answer to the imprecise, often loud press-fit bottom brackets that appeared on the market a few years ago. T47 offers the benefits of larger bottom bracket shells, mainly frame stiffness, with the upsides of traditional, threaded bottom brackets, precision, and quietness. Why You Want It ThreadFit™ T47 24x fits 68mm and 73mm shell widths with 24mm spindles. It’s a silky-smooth, long-lasting bottom bracket built around King’s legendary angular-contact bearings, either steel or ceramic. These are the best bearings in the industry, and actually get faster over time, as their contact surfaces wear. You want this bottom bracket because it offers super low drag. You want this bottom bracket because it can be opened, cleaned, and repacked for years of faithful service. You want this bottom bracket because you don’t want to think an awful lot about your bottom bracket. The Fit Kit for our ThreadFit™ T47 24x is available here.
