watcha think of this setup? its time to upgrade my kh 20"…
nimbus II trials frame
green jim c pedals
05 kh hub and cranks
thompson elite seatpost
new fusion green seat
kh rail adaptor
luna tyre
kh free ride rim
14g spokes
any changes you think i should make? was considering a cf seatbase
Good except, lose the rail adaptor, you could make your own rail-less setup (gerbalfranklin) or buy a Scott wallis Cf base that goes directly to a Thompson with out any adaptors or even needing the guts of the post.
Sounds good but why would you go from a KH frame to a nimbus? The KH is wayyyy better even if you have an older one. Also alot of people (including me) don’t like rail adapters for trials but it may not bother you. CF seats are really nice, you might not need one now but once you start breaking KHs then it may be a good idea to get one. If you get a SWallis CF base then you don’t need the rail adapter.
isnt the nimbus lighter than the kh 04? well i havent broken any of them yet but i probably will. na the rail adapter is no problem, its worth it after breaking normal seatposts
I’m not sure if its lighter but if it is then its not by much. If it were me I would probably upgrade to a KH from a nimbus not the other way around.
If you are breaking seat posts then I am surprised you haven’t killed a KH seat.
why? wat is wrong with the nimbus frame?
I think it has a bad reputation for hitting people knees. I don’t think that there is something wrong with the nimbus but there isn’t anything wrong with the KH. I don’t know how they compare in weight so thats not something I am factoring in.
fair enough, nimbus frame is cheap tho 
Yeah thats true, you can get it and tell us if you notice a difference in weight.
does the 05 kh hub stand up well? any one broken it yet?
lmao, justin kohse end his cranks to hell on an 8 stairs… but he’s a big guy… your should hold up great.
they just as strong as profiles? they have no keyward slot…
I’ve heard they are comparable to profiles. I don’t think there has been a side by side test to show which is stronger though. I think that the KHs are better than profiles but they don’t have the warrenty. Yeah Justin bent his KH cranks but he has snapped profiles too.
yep… but thats why I’d go with profiles… life warenty… liek sure they might be both as strong and kh is lighers but profile has that warenty.
but im in new zealand so does the warranty apply 4 me?
yea of course… u just have to send your broken cranks to profile… but if you dont think your gonna do huge stuff… stick with the kh probs you wont bend them
The warranty does apply in New Zealand. By the way, giraffe, have we met? I’m Pete from the NZUni Weekend if you were there?
yeh we have meet, im isaac, i had the kh 20"…i was the guy with the nice camera
And I have the KH/Onza cranks and they are pretty good but mine are quite bent from a 10 stair and a couple of 5-6ft drops. It’d be awesome if KH could offer some sort of warranty for those of us who are liable to spend NZ$399 on a hub/crank set simply to have the disappointment of them bending or snapping within a month or 2 of moderate/extreme riding.
Even just a 6 month warranty would give buyers more confidence and more incentive to choose over profiles.
oh yeah, hows it going? How’s your riding been coming along since October?
