I have no idea how well it sands, I do know however that you wouldn’t want to breath it in.
That was a Wallis base, yeah. The same setup I’ve got on my street uni except I got one without the threaded bolt inserts.
Wait, are you even sure you ordered a KH base? I know people make quite a few mistakes when they order and forget to select certain options.
Check your order/receipt e-mail they sent, and make sure it says KH styled in the description. If it says that, its their fault, and it will be worth it to just send it back and get the right shape.
Though if it was your fault for not really checking things over when ordering, well then, tough luck I guess. Sorry. I dont think UDC would really refund things on user error, but you could still try.
Hope you get it working.
A CF base will be the next thing I buy. I broke my post not too long ago and replaced that with a CroMo one, but now I feel like the base will break next, and then the rim. lol
I think the whole deal bout the foam is easily solved by puttung the cover on pretty tight… so all i really gotta do is sand arount the front a bit and sand the edges down a bit and it should be sweet.
the back bumper fits really well in the first place so i just need the front done and the edges not to rip the cover.
the i can bend my post a little to account for the bottom and it should be good.
so i think im gonna do it.
what u think Brian??
Thats why I said they would only refund if its actually what he ordered.
Also, Jerrick, I thought you said there was no reason to get a CF base? You just need proper form right? Isn’t that what you said?
unidude I’d just go for it. The foam really isn’t an issue. Like you said, once you tighten down the cover theres no problem with it.
Is that camouflage? That’s awesome. How did you do it?
This thread has digressed…
My handle never sat flush in my base. I just tightened it in. there is a white line where the handles stretch from tightening them, but I have yet to break one there.
I got it down pretty good…
its touching on the back two and slightly not on the front 2…
i feel its good enough.
and if i decide to drill not will those marks change if i decide to sand it down more???
this should all be in a different thread…
Crap.
I just figured out that my UDC CF base, which I got for christmas, is most definitely a miyata style aswell. And I’ve already got several of the holes drilled and squared.
I’d noticed the handle and bumper didn’t fit too well, and the sides were higher, but I just figured it was poor quality control or something from whoever made it. I hadn’t put any foam on it yet to see what that was like. I did not even expect that it would be the wrong style base.
But just now after reading all this I dug out an old Torker LX seat and that confirmed it. The LX handle and bumper fit on it just fine, but the KH ones are tight.
This sucks. I hate LX/miyata saddles. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Funny though, mine doesn’t have those weird indentations in the back like those in your pictures… what’s up with that?
Don’t worry about it, once you get the KH cover tightened down and try and fit the handle over the cover both the handle and the foam should be fine. If not just pop a few washers in there.
the new beast…
starting to ride a new style these days.
after seeing a movie called “Crux”, ryan leech video. I kinda wanted a change. so im starting up with trials again but adding a manifesto/ street style to it.
p.s. im really impressed with the nimbus…
I know, but I want it all to work and fit together like it’s supposed to. I don’t want to have to make it fit…
Man, no wonder I was having so much trouble trying to align the handle and bumper and all that.
I was literally planning on making a complaint thread saying the KH style CF base was poorly made and didn’t fit well.
hey UniDudeDX, did you specify between KH or Miyata when you order yours? My parents ordered mine, and I’m not sure what they did. I’m just wondering if this is UDC’s fault, or a mix up when we placed the order, or what…
He posted a screenshot of his order receipt and it says KH style on it.
Phew! Done!
Forrest - I thought the red hub was only comparable to the UDC CroMo hub in terms of strength 
Or is it just for XC?
How about you guys move to this thread?
Wow. Whats with the little attack there?
I didnt say there is no reason for a CF base. I remember mentioning there isnt always a need to rush towards a CF base so Quickly. I also didnt say proper form wouldnt just fix everything, but it would preserve parts longer than it would compared to a bad form.
Perfect example (In both drops im standing, and when landing I dont just drop right onto the base, but lower down after I land and do a rev or two). I do a 5 foot drop, and tense my arm up a lot, upon landing, tons of weight from my arm is shoved into the nose of the saddle, and it snaps. Now, same 5 foot drop, this time my arm isnt tense and its jsut there to just keep the saddle under me, and I allow my upper body to flex down and rebound back up. The base doesnt flex and I can still ride.
So do you still have a problem with me wanting a CF base? I know we all agreed that a CF takes away the risk of really breaking one when you mess up on a trick or just land badly. So I dont really get what you were trying to prove there, if anything.
Justin I know what you mean. Crux was the best and made trials look so cool…after watching it, I really want to get good at trials…
No no, this is a different Red Hub. The one you’re thinking of is the square taper kind, they’ve now switched the red hub over to ISIS splined, which is starting to become more of a standard interface.
ISIS is pretty strong, it’s what KH and Koxx-1 uses. Qu-Ax is also making a heavy duty ISIS hub now(Yellow). The Qu-Ax red ISIS hub is lighter and therefore probably weaker, although I’ve heard of people doing some pretty good drops on them without any damage.
I’ll definitely be using it for much more then XC.
Good idea…
There’s my unicycle and my dog =) shaved the tire yesterday and today, its really good, and i like it 
gotta sand it a bit more, but im tired 
Edit: sorry it’s extremely big
