KH 2007 Products- details & info are here

[unicyclepa]

I’ve been riding on this new rim for a while now, and it seems to have held round for longer than the older rims ever did for me. This might be a function of the wheelbuild, which I spent a lot of time doing, and also the fact that I used 13g spokes (I would use 14 before) however, I have yet to flat-spot this wheel, which is good!

As an answer to a previous question, you won’t need to buy new spokes to build up this rim. Mine worked fine on the length for the old KH rims. The E.R.D. (effective rim diameter) is the same on both rims, and so the old spoke length (correct me if i’m wrong, but 171mm I believe) will work fine.

As another answer, these wider rims certainly DO help reduce fold-over caused from riding natural trials.

thanks i think ill be geting a new rim now

I need some of that distance foam myself.
I hope that some will be on sale at CMW.

Will the old Fusion cover work on the new street seat. You should sell the new gel seperately to people who want it for their old gel seat and for people who have carbon fiber seat bases I would buy it.

Wow, nice saddles Kris- good to see the lower profile and flatter seats.

How heavy is the hub/crankset? Will there be other cranks lengths available in future? eg 100mm and 110mm?

eg 100mm and 110mm?

i was thinking the same thing ISIS coker

Very nice.

It is worth pointing out that ISIS is an open standard, so there is no
legal barrier to manufacturers who want to offer compatible parts.
More competition with compatible, quality parts will only be good for
riders.

AARGH now my KH uni is out of date!

Very, very nice unis Kris.

Only one 24" this time?

I will definately be buying the street seat when it comes out.

Cheers,
Max

I agree with max this stuff is awesome
i’m gonna get me the 24 coz the cranks arwe shiny and i ride 24’s i’m annoyed that i recently ordered the gloves and now there is new better ones

I think someone went a little overboard with the KH signatures everywhere. It says Kris Holm 18 times on the uni Once on the seat, seatpost, three times on the frame, twice on the rim, one on each crank, eight times on the hub (four times on each flange).

I think that beats the record set by the '05 model!

The uni’s look awesome, Kris.

I look farward to seeing them in action and riding one. I like the sound of having less Q-factor, but I can’t say I actually like it until I’ve ridden one.

I hope they’re out soon.

After looking at the new rims I’m thinking that a KHU Coker rim would be pretty neat. Can you do a Stan’s No-Tubes conversion on a rim with drilled holes in it?

[cegli]

Wow the new stuff looks great, I’m even more excited about the geared mountain uni. I have a little bit of an off-topic question for you. I’m going to UBC right now and I know you use to go there. I was wondering if you’re still attending as a graduate student, or ever still ride around UBC. I haven’t seen any other unicyclist yet, unfortuantely.

Good work on the new line, I can’t wait to actually try one out sometime.

BRILLIANT! a drilled coker rim would lose g’s like crazy.

07 stuff looks great Kris!

I would like to know how much stuff weighs though. I like how the koxx-one site lists weight of all their stuff. I know you have a pretty crazy weight-strength on all your components, but I still like to see the numbers.

I (as well as others I’m sure) would also like to know the effective flange diameter is on the moment hub so I know what size spokes to get for my rim.

@gkmac

He even sells cottered cranks for really old unis!?

thats bike related though, hardly a chore to stock cottered cranks, especialy in Europe.

[Johaaan]

Whats the weight of the 20"?

[Probailer2]

@danger_uni

Given that the wider rim contains more metal, have better geometry to resist twist, and that the rims are spec’d standard with eyelets and the best available alloy (7005H-T6), they seem to be about the same strength as the 2005 rims (the strong ones without grooves =)).

Cheers,

Kris

Yeah those rims with the groves sucked
It wasn’t your fault so I forgive you
But will those cranks fit on a Koxx hub and will the Koxx hub fit in this new frame??

[mark_williamson]

Is the street saddle similar to the UDC gel? The profile and construction sound similar.

Fusion Freeride sounds something I should upgrade to at some point. Are there any detailed pictures of what the cutout in the foam looks like?

[danger_uni]

@Daytripper63

Thanks, please keep us informed on the geared muni, are you only gearing the KH24 or the KH29 as well? I am ready to buy

The geared version will be available in any wheelsize. Sorry about the delay but we want to get it right the first time!

Kris

[Johaaan]

Hey kris whats the Weights of the unicycles?

[danger_uni]

@mornish

how much are the hub/cranks going to cost?

also, is the extra stability really helpful? I’m into natural trials, and my tire folds over when jumping from/ onto uneven surfaces. would the wider rim help eliminate that?

Prices for everything are being figured out right now. Hub/cranks should be approximately similar in price to the 2006 ones.

Yes the wider rim is a LOT more stable. Even with the holes it is actually very slightly heavier due to the extra width, but the extra stability is such an advantage that I think it’s worth it. The weight of the assembled uni is the same as the 2006 uni.
