Abba's relatively new handle thing.

Off-topic

for some welding practice last week, i went and made myself a new reeder-esque handle.
at CMW i tried out some handles that had a full-wrap-hand-around type grip, like the reeder and some other awesome handle.

so i decided, heck, if it breaks, i can just switch back to the KH handle i had before. So i went for it.

Looks like a potential nut-basher… but then again so does a normal reeder. Give it a whirl, let us know how it feels!

i plan to pad it down a bit with a handle grip…
note that that is still bare metal, and i’ve only done small hops and stuff with it. I’m not gonna try it out to the extreme untill i borrow a grip offa one of my parent’s/my sister’s/someone’s b*ke.

Hey, it does look like a reeder:). On my reeder I had to cut about a half an inch off the end so it wouldnt hit my leg. Yours looks alot longer so I suggest cutting it down a little. Test it out first to make sure it needs to be cut, it might just be that angle that makes it look so long. I can’t comment on the welds because 1) I can’t really see them and 2) I know nothing about welding.

The thing that is cool about yours is that it fits a kh bolt pattern. That might lead to another problem though…With normal kh seats there is usually alot of flex after a while and with a handle like that you would have alot more leverage so it has the potential to flex more.

Did you use the same size metal as a reeder? if not I don’t know if you will be able to find a grip that will fit it.

Just a warning from my experience: putting a grip on it will not help very much if it stabs you in your leg on a unispin.

Looks cool though, I hope it doesn’t break on you. Good job:D

i dunno. I just picked up some scrap tubing that felt good in my hand and used it.

if i can’t find a grip, i’ll just wrap it in cloth tape.

Ab-

Threads like these are ideal for RSU. Construction projects like this one related to unicycling are always of interest. Looks like you’re turning into a welder. Don’t let the word get out or you’ll suddenly have lots of friends with welding projects.
