What does the Chris King get you that the Cane Creek 40 doesn't? Same with bottom brackets. What does the more expensive $150 bottom bracket get you that the standard Shimano BB doesn't?
Before you drop the coin on a Chris King, be sure to check these out as an option. Less money than a CK & something the mechanics that I know prefer over the CK.
