Sexy uni you’ve got there. I noticed you have a KH Street Fusion.
Could you tell me; does my seat look normal. Most Street seats I see have low profiles, this one seems big. By low profile I mean thin.
Do not ride on that wheel. Your spokes are not properly configured. You need to relace it with a 3 cross pattern. Your spokes are only in 2 cross right now, which is why they appear to be too long. Once you have it in 3 cross you will see the difference.
While only regarding the spokes on one side of the hub (the spokes coming out of one flange), trace one with your finger from hub to rim. The spoke will go over 2 spokes and then under the third one. Copy another unicycle with 3 cross if you can.
Yeah in the picture it is definitely a 2 cross.
The spokes are so loose right now you can’t tighten them enough to ride it without the spokes feeling like spaghetti.
Wow… that’s so rad. My friend was saying they charge you even more because its a “specialty” rim and not common. Fortunately he works at one and did mine too. Thank you Dennis
Alright so to fix the wheel you will have to move all the spokes, but you don’t have to take it all apart at once. If you switch all the pairs of spokes that are almost parallel then it will come out right. You also have to fix the way they cross, if the spoke is coming out of the outside of the flange then it should go over the first 2 spokes and under the last one, it should make more sense when you play with it.
I had to do almost the same thing to my last wheel because my spokes were too long so I had to change it from a 3 to 4 cross.
Here’s a picture because what I said is probably confusing.
