Closer Look: White Industries M30 and Chris King Bottom Bracket

This video takes a closer look at the White Industries M30 which is similar to the G30 crankset. The R30 will be different in that the crank arm is not as bowed out for bikes with larger tire clearance, but it's essentially the same design concept. It is mated to a Chris King bottom bracket threadfit 30 which fits a 30mm spindle. This crankset has the 30T front chainring which is called their TSR (Tall Short Ring) and because I'm running a boost rear hub (148mm) I got the 0 offset 1x Boost version. Watch the video that will explain the Chris King Conversion Kit and how they work.
