I would check with Kris before throwing up a photo of any new gear. You might be stealing his thunder
We have a bunch of cool new stuff arriving in the next Unicycle.com NZ shipment (due early August if all goes well). I’ve learnt from past experience never to promise an exact date or talk about new developments too much before we actually have products in our hands. Occasionally containers have turned up late and/or missing unicycles and parts. Sometimes designs get modified and specs get changed too. Suffice to say I can’t wait to get my hands on some of the new parts, which are very drool-worthy.
Dude dont wory about replacing parts, if your only gapping 1m and hopping 30cm it should be ages before anything brakes. Wait for it to break then replace it. By the time something breaks Im sure newer parts would have come out anyway, theres no point worrying about anything now. The best thing you can do for now is swap your pedals for somthing better.
I heard it is 5 cross and they are not conventional spokes, KH is uses lengths of dyneema chord instead, stronger than steel for the same weight. I cant weight to see it
But the real question is, do you have a metal block (I mean this will all respect) that is keeping you from improving, and you think that new equipment will help? I am just trying to find your reason to improve an already great unicycle.
i’m sorry, but i was expecting a flaming Titanium hub, a purple frame with spikes, the rim to be neon green, the spokes to be pink, and the cranks to be made of Ti.
maybe its just me, but that pic doesnt show much of a change…
Oh yea, forgot about that. Looks like the problems with the frame and rim has been seen to. I would bet that the problem with the flanges has been resloved too.
No I was just making it up, although if you could work out a way to tension them Im sure it would work. Theres not much weight to be saved from the spokes but it would be lighter.
In sailing most of the serious racers replace their metal shrouds and stays with dyneema chord. It is amazingly strong, doesnt stretch and is very light.
well the rim sounds interesting, but nothing to put me off my trial undrilled
the double crown has been around for a while spencer was riding it at wuko after his black domina broke and shaun lent it to him. It’s (if it’s the same as what I saw) a KH07 frame with two additional crowns at on the side of the seatube. Hard to explain really need a picture but i haven’t got one.
I actually saw this at NAUCC, its pretty awesome but Its not what the new frame is going to be. They realized that the front crown made it difficult to wheel walk so I’m pretty sure the new double crown will be something different, if not just two crowns instead of three.
And whats the point? Nothing yet but there will be innovative new tricks which use it for sure.
i think this is the idea of double crown. Just my speculation though, may not be what he’s talking about. But it might be 2 crowns LIKE this, so it can reinforce the seatpost.
