Mention Chris King in a room full of cyclists and most will think of either a headset or a set of hubs. A few lucky souls may even have a matching set, but whichever way you spin it (pun intended) the company has an industry leading reputation for making top quality spinning things, so making the leap to a full wheel build can hardly come as a surprise. With the new GRD23, it’s offering riders a carbon rim which, unlike most others on the market, is totally recyclable.
