These Chris King Seatpost Collars ($48-56) are one of those products that make you ask: “Why did it take so long?”

Chris King is one of North America’s premier component manufacturers. They are self-sustained on bicycle part production sold through dealers and consumer direct sales. As such, developing new products, even something as simple seeming like a seatpost collar, takes a real, concerted effort. In short, King doesn’t want to plop its logo on just anything.

They offer one more little pop of rich, consistent Chris King color, strategically balanced between headset, hubs and bottom bracket. The Chris King Seatpost Collar, takes design cues from the brand’s headset bearing cap and cup. These are machined from aluminum and finished with the King wordmark and a cheeky little bee, etched on the barrel nut.

Easily adjusts for optimal thread alignment and clamping force, because of course it does.
