Hi all I cant decide witch uni to get.Ivebeen thinking about getting a new kh or doing something custom because.I want something diffrent and I want to build a wheel.I think this is what I would build up
grey KH street saddle
cf base
kh post
white koxx clamp
black kh 07 frame
koxx 140mm crankset
white tryall rim (is it that weak)
14gauge black spokes
tryall tire
pedals mabe some welgo mg50’s
the main things im not shure about are cranksets how do you like the straight cranks on the koxx are they less stable than cranks with some q factor because im used to the older kh cranks with a lot of q actor
Thanks Teddy
thanks I do mostly trials and little flatland and street. so would I be better with 140s 135 street cranks or a kh moment crankset. and I mean the kh cf base
Most retarded - unhelpful post ever. Shut up if aren’t going to help.
The CF base is always a very nice thing to have. It makes it so much stiffer. I would go with the KH crankset. It is a good mix of street and trials, 137s. It doesn’t really go well with your color scheme. You could always get a blue koxx1 clamp, blue kh seat, black kh frame. Be a mighty fine beast. If you are going to go for the drilled Koxx1 rim, I would get the KH one as it is the same thing, but half the price. Go to Kris’s website.
Tip for wheel building: use brass nipples. The aluminum ones might look real cool and colorful, but they strip. Not good. Also, dab each spoke in grease before you put in the nipple.
Have some respect, he was pointing out the lack of a hub in his parts list.
unigrinin did not post a hub. Since you can use the Kris Holm 2007 hub with the Koxx cranks, then you can’t just assume he’s going to use the Koxx hub.

ooooooooooo snap BURN you went theer BOY .
only the koxx hubs fit koxx cranks becase ther not true isis.
well mabe I should just go with the stock kh iff im just going to go with stock parts anyway. ya I think the kh rim is a little better than the koxx becase it is eylited and it is made off a stronger alloy.
Thanks for the wheel build info danni i was probaly going to use aluminum
nipples I forgot how aluminum strips so easily.
And will I have to use 13gauge spokes with the kh hub and rim or dose the hole sizing not matter that much?
True isis is suppost to be a universal size. Any isis cranks should fit on any other isis’s cranks. Isis is originally from bike freewheels, and has been passed on to unicycles. So any isis bike cranks will fit on a kh moment hub, but not on a koxx.
Q is how far out the crank goes. like the KH has q, so the pedal end crank is further away from the uni than the hub end of the crank is. more q means better control but less speed.
That being said, all cranks setups will have a Q-factor of some sort, ome will just be bigger, and other may not.
Then again, if you get a UW, there would be virtually no Q-factor, cause there is no width inbetween the pedals.
Anyways, it sounds nice. Rim wise, you could do better, but the Koxx is still a great choice. Its mainly down to Crankset choice. KH moments are nice and come in 125s or 137s. !25s for more street and speed, 137 for more trials and control. Both can be used for whatever you want, and wont hamper your ability.
going custom is definatly a good odea Im shure glad i did it. but do not get wellgo’s they stink.
get mettallic orange jimmy c’s!!!
dont worry about having a tryall rim i’ve landed five set side hops really hard and didnt get a wobble.
