Looks like industrial strength tic welding to me, Hans. I figure if you get another six months out of that frame you´re doing fine since IME, hard core muni (2-3 days a week) eats all aluminum frames in basically 16-24 months.

Hans, all I can say is that your kh has been through a lot.

ugly, but I guess it's better than buying a new frame. It would suck to hit your knees on the pointy things sticking out of the weld.

Now you just need to rip off those ugly udc stickers!

But wait....maybe they'll help hold the frame together!

To some people a frame is something which enables them to ride.

Looks beefy. :P

I'm actually suprised that more frames, especially Muni ones, don't come stock with small braces like that. That seems to be the weak point in every frame, and for things like trials and Muni you never put your foot there, so you can spare room for a brace. Be sure to tell us how it holds up!

The rider's weight is also a key factor in frame, hub, and crank longevity. I would logically conclude that a rider weighing 140lbs will exert far less stress on a frame, etc, vs a 200lb rider. This also takes into consideration that both riders are subjecting their Munis to comparable terrain and riding styles, and also doing similar drops and so on.

i was just thinking about how strong kh frames really are the other day

Now go get it dirty again. That frame is far too clean for a respectable muni.

Yeah, toss it in a mud puddle, swish it around, then roll it around on some manuer, then maybe it will be "muni-worthy!"

Intentionally rolling the muni in some manure is a little more hardcore than I'm willing to go, although I do occasionally end up rolling through the occasional horse apple or worse the occasional abandoned dog poop. Finding a mud puddle in southern California this time of year is also going to be tough. I'm willing to let it go at just not washing the muni and letting it accumulate layers of dusty dirt.

lol, be sure to clean rust off, I think rust is bad for unis.

I also agree. Except for the bit about the manure. that's just gross.
