Looks awesome, I’m curious to know how it rides?
You write that is if there’s something wrong with it.
Thanks for the kind words! I wouldn’t rule out a 36" freewheel but I’m not building one anytime soon.
I need some time to get used to the brake. Compared to my (defunct) 20" freewheel unicycle mounting is slightly harder and it’s a little further to fall, but I think it’s easier to ride overall. There’s more of a flywheel effect. There also seems to be more of a tendency towards what Ben described as “incremental coasting”. It’s pretty heavy but I was happy to find I could still do 180 turns on it so it’s suitable for the skatepark. I haven’t taken it off road yet. It may take me a while to get used to the faster speeds it’s easy to pedal to. It seems like a great size, just on the edge of what would be too much impact on my feet during the repeated UPDs I experience.
Cool, and thanks for telling us about it.
My new kh 36 with 26 wheel. I will be lacing up 36 and 29 wheels in the near future and adding a brake with the larger wheels. I haven’t weighed it but it’s feather light with the current Nanoraptor and SunRingle-MTX 33 rim. A Maxxis Ardent will go on it soon. But I am riding asphalt and packed trails with my wife who is learning to ride.
Moment 150s Kh Freeride saddle, Odyssey twisted pc pedals. Nimbus cromo hub and nimbus El cheapo alloy seatpost. I love it, it’s light and I can whip it around with ease.
Looks great, GlennG! I don’t know which would be more fun, riding it or staying home and swapping around parts on it. ![]()
Thanks Eddie. The reason for this uni experiment was to have the ability to travel with a 26 29 and a 36. Everything will fit in the trunk of my small car. 3 unicycles definitely would not but this and the 2 wheels will be a breeze to haul.
I got the idea from watching people @ NUACC 2013 packing umpteen unicycles and kids along with all their stuff for the week into vehicles. It was amusing to say the least. I am very happy with it. I can’t wait to try bigger wheels! ![]()

Looks nice! What rim is that?
I dont have anything against it but my wallet (and my bank) does! Besides, I’m also saving up for a motorbike.
Lol, I missed a couple pics, now I know where you got it…
There u go, TRITON
It’s done! ![]()
A KH29 frame, some cuting, some bending, some welding, a day of heating
and a spray can paint job…
Compared to the og KH it seems a little weak in the crown - a little flexy.
But it already passed a first testride and I hope it will stand some more.
Anyway - if it breaks tomorrow…nobody knows ![]()
PS: The whole setup is 6.2kg - a light ride ![]()
Looks awesome!
I like it, do you ride in mud or snow? If you do you may have clearance issues
Good work! The frame is really wide. Do you hit sometimes your legs on the frame while riding?
Thanks ![]()
@knoxuni: there is enough clearance at the left and right side. The angle of the picture just don’t shows.
@dida: there is also enough clearence between the frame and “my” legs - got bowlegs ![]()
@digger that’s one fine machine
I thought about making a fat frame like that… If I make another custom fat frame I’m aiming for a round crown, maybe aluminum but I was also thinking about making it with thin Stainless Steel tubings
Futur projects…
P.S.: I just got my 650B rim! waiting to find/make a frame now!
I got my 27.5 Hans Dampf yesterday! I couldn’t get the Super Gravity one, I got the Trailstar. Lighter ![]()
Now all I need is a frame. I am probably going to make a mod of KH frames. I’ll end up with the first KH27.5! ![]()
Dosen’t it fit into a 26’ Frame?
The most tricky thing about rebuilding a frame is to get the seatopst and the hub straight. For to get the wheel at the center of the the frame and the seatpost straight on top.
I’ve build a mounting “around” the og frame where the hub and the seatpost was fixed to. After that one can cut the frame and do the altering while the important parts of the frame geometry are still in place…
It worked pretty well.
