World's first KH26?

Theere is something about that, thats… beautiful.

What length are the cranks?

Mike

Nice ride.

thats awesome, looks a bit clean though… go ride!

The cranks are 150s. I used to ride with 170s but discovered I could cover virtually the same terrain with 150s. Hills are a bit tougher but it lets you motor faster over cross country.

Now when I switch back to 170s they feel waaaay too long.

I have always wanted to do that.

more pics please

sorry to say the same thing evrything else has, but that 26er is insanely attractive :slight_smile:

i want to buy her off u :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice idea. Looks great

mean uni mate, one problem tho… the brake mounts dont line up with the rim, you will have to modify it to get some proper stopping power. heehee

That was the only down side but since I have still not got round to putting brakes on my coker which has had brake mounts for three years, I figure it was a small price to pay to get the wheel size I wanted.

Someone (Nick, maybe?) had just such a “KH26” at the November Long Island Uni gathering.

Sorry, but it’s still a cool vehicle.

Hate you guys at Unicycle.com :stuck_out_tongue: .

You’re tempting me to buy more stuff off you already. I’m half decided on whether to go for a custom 26/29er or for a stock KH. Very nice

dude i cant believe this! i was just going to do this! Every thing lately thats been on this forum i was thinking about. Anyway how is it? is it worth it?

And Kris Holm had a KH26 long before that. He used to ride a 26" wheel and had a custom unicycle built to his specifications. Technically that would have been the first KH26.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

man, that KH is sex on wheel.

Ed

hehe, get a kh20" and join us trials boys. lol

Never ridden a 26 so I’m wondering how it would perform on technical Muni. Betcha it rolls and drops like crazy, but might be a bit tricky on rock hopping. Curious,

Hot! now get some mud on it!

When you say “hills are a bit tougher” is that up or down or both. How do the 150’s affect your down hill riding compared to 170’s, because i like my 170’s going down hill but i hate them on the flat.
I’m slowly destorying my square tapered hub and am looking to upgrade to splined. I was thinking the koxx hub with 160’s would be good for me. If i were using 160’s would i loose that inefficient exaggerated feel of the 170’s on the flat, or would i have to go all the way down to 150’s?

Thanks
Sam

P.S. If you read this peter could you please post some more pictures of your beast, thanks.

Hey!
I have a 24" muni with 140’s and i did the snowdon ride on it. I found it fine, not uncontrollable at all. I found the faster i went’ the less i UPD’d, and the more fun i had! Even on the more tech stuff i didnt struggle, and on the flatter stuff i was way ahead of the guys with 170’s. I don’t know how different it would be on a 26" though.

Ride on!
