Hey, For quite a few months, Spencer and I have been working on various ideas to do with producing a KH flatland uni. Adrien Delecroix has also been testing and providing feedback. The goal is not to repeat what’s out there or simply rebrand the KH20 as a flatland specific uni - I’m not just going to repaint the KH20 and call it something different. It also has to fit enough people’s riding styles worldwide to make it widely available - so it’s good to keep it simple and improve the most important components without making anything unnecessarily specialized. IMO, the existing KH20 works well as a versatile trials/street/flatland uni, but there is room for improvement for rolling-oriented flatland - ie. for a lighter weight, smoother-rolling wheelset that bridges the gap between freestyle-oriented tricks and flatland style. So far the most versatile setup seems to be the one that Spencer is riding: KH20 longneck frame 110 mm Moment cranks with Rollo disks New 20", 47 mm wide KH rim. Maxxis Grifter 2.1" tire. Attached is a photo. This is the setup Spencer is using in his [new vid](http://vimeo.com/6477781). In summary it uses all the same parts as an existing KH20, except for the new rim and tire. The nice thing about the Grifter/wide 20" rim combo is that it is lightweight and smooth rolling like a freestyle wheel - the Grifter weights less than half that of a CC tire - but the wide rim gives the same lateral stability as a trials wheel. It’s harder to flip, but there’s already the trials wheelset out there for that. Whether you’d prefer this setup or the standard 19" setup would depend on your riding style. It would be great to get feedback from all of you as to whether you’d be interested in seeing this setup come out. Thanks in advance for the comments! Cheers, Kris ![KHFlatFreestyleCrossover.jpg](https://unicyclist.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/b/9b0a6b82e58fe36fed9f0d9d323c6f0928019aed.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](https://unicyclist.com/t/kh20-flatland-uni-project/107788)._
