The break lever slid down before I took the picture the handle bars feel good to me.
My current one, a 27.5" QX Q-axle, with the newcomer: a rusty, heavy 20" QU-AX generously donated by a friend, which will be used by people around me to learn how to ride a unicycle 
edit: @nico33.fr warned me that the seat should be oriented to the right, not the left (I verified it and the frame is on the right side regarding the cranks). I didn’t pay attention enough when tightening the seat post

Are the cranks customized with a third hole or are they sold this way?
Playing in the snow today with my new tire. Picked up this older nimbus 2 a few months ago, it’s pretty fun to ride a 24 again.

My VCX+ cranks have three holes. They are sold that way.

You buy them like that.
I do believe that stock usually comes with 114mm/142mm/170mm triple holes.
Though this uni that I bought (second hand) has 100mm/ 125mm/150mm holes that are much more my preference.
Sad thing is that it’s -27C during the day so rides are close to the house.
I can’t wait to take it out on our fatbike trails.

Interesting, both the handle setup (very high!), and the way the brake lever is turned up instead of down. It is Interesting to see how unique different folks’ bar and brake setup preferences are!

The brake position is a compromise as the length is too short.
If the brake is needed, I can still grab between the bar ends with one hand and can control the brake lever with my thumb.
Normally I would have it upright and between the bar ends.
Not what I want, but it will do for now.
I looked at swapping the brake line from my KH36 which is extra long but the Shimano brake on the KH is a BR-MT400 and the Hatchet has a BR-MT410.
The KH is a righthanded outboard and the Hatchet is a lefthanded inboard so the brakes would have to be mounted from the opposite side as well as being flipped.
It does look like everything would line up but I’m a little scared to rip it all apart and have it not work or worse yet, wreck something that is working now.
I’ll wait till I’m broke down or someone with more knowledge can help me.
But ya, I do prefer a much more upright stance when I ride.

Mt400 and Mt410 are pretty much exactly the same, only difference might be the piston material, but that doesn’t matter for how it fits. Same shape caliper. So it should be a 15 minute job to swap the brakes, if you take your time…

Thanks Finn,
I might tackle this as we’re still stuck in deep freeze for another day.

What kind of pedals are they? They look nice.
They look like the same pedals from QU-AX unicycles.
But I don’t know the brand or model.

Yeah they do. Thanks. I thought the KH came stock with something that looks like that too.
UDC UK has both the 110/125/150 and 114/142/170 VCX+ cranks in stock – they were originally only available in the 110/125/150mm version and the 114/142/170 was added relatively recently.

I believe the original manufacturer is wellgo, but a number of unicycle brands have had them put their name on that design over the years. I prefer the versions with nylon reinforced plastic over the clear ones, but for the (very low) price they are decent pedals.
