I have decided to buy a 36" Nimbus ‘Oracle’ Road Unicycle soon and I am currently looking for a handlebar setup. The KH T-Bar Touring handle seems like the best choice to me as it allows for angle and length adjustments. I am wondering however whether it will fit the standard Nimbus sadle, or if I will need to buy/adjust anything else to make it compatible with the Nimbus unicycle.
Does anyone have a setup with the Nimbus uni and the KH bar? I am interested to see a picture of it!
It will fit any Nimbus, KH, Velo, Qu-Ax, KOXX-1, or any other saddle with the standard front bolt pattern. (will not fit saddles based on old Miyata design)
You may want to also get the stiffening plate, or fabricate one of your own, It really does make a difference for saddle mounted handlebars.
No !
KH T-bar s only compatible with with base using bolts, not the old Velo base with nuts which was used by Koxx, QU-AX and old Nimbus and KH saddle
Nimbus Oracle is using the last base version so it’s compatible
oops, sorry, bouin-bouin is correct that you need the newer KH base (that Nimbus also uses) for it to fit the handle + stiffener plate without modification.
The T-bar would fit on the old saddles, but they aren’t stiff enough without a stiffener plate so aren’t recommended. If you were to add a stiffener plate you would also need longer bolts, or a conversion to captive T-nuts, this is not a particularly hard mod, but you would have to take the saddle apart to get into it’s guts. The Stiffener plate as sold also doesn’t fit the old saddles, you would have to make your own. So yup, I gave you bad advice, though it wouldn’t be terribly hard to make it work.
From KH’s website: "Note: Compatible only with Nimbus Gel w/ KH Base, Kris Holm Fusion Slim, Street, Freeride, Kris Holm Fusion Zero and One Saddles. If you want to fit the T-Bar to a Nimbus Stadium saddle, you must also purchase the Impact Saddle Reinforcement Plate as well. "
All this is somewhat moot as it works on the saddle that comes with the unicycle you are ordering, but for anyone else looking at this thread for advice I thought I had better put in that correction.
Wait… What is an Impact Saddle reinforcement plate? Is this the same plate that comes with the handle? I used the KH one on my Stadium saddle and it worked fine
