  2. I am not sure where you have this information from. This is not the
    case. 30 day warranty? since when? Free wheel - never, impossible.
    We know what the problem is, it is not on a 100% of the hub/unicycles
    that have been produced since May by any means, but it does seam to be
    affecting quite a few.
    We are totally understandable about the situation and if you have fixed
    it, it will not invalidate the warranty for this.
    Unicycle.com in the US are recalling any that are showing problems and
    rectifying the problem permanently. They are also modifying ALL of
    their existing stock, this is delaying dispatch slightly as they do hold
    a lot of stock. So please be patient with them.
    total uni - please do not attempt to be a spokesperson for Unicycle.com,
    if you are worried about anything about the warranty or problems with
    your products please contact your local Unicycle.com.

    Roger is right. Let unicycle.com speak for themselves. If it were that
    big of a deal they'd e-mail or contact everyone who had bought the
    product and notify them of the flaw.

    Unicycles don't go freewheel, except for a few rare cases in the suzue
    hub. THe KH hub is press fit into the flange setup, and has 2 or 6 (i
    forget which) keyways in it. It can't go freewheel. I don't believe that
    you've heard of 3 KH hubs going freewheel firstly because it virtually
    impossible, and secondly because at least one of those people would've
    said something about it happening. SO anyways, unless you are absolutely
    sure that they have gone freewheel, please don't spread rumors.

    I think hey was saying the wheels were replaced with free wheels. Not
    that they became freewheeling unicycles because the keyways failed.
    There are 6 BTW.

    I am having this problem I have had mine for 3 weeks, I think it is one
    of the bearings going bad, I believe the left one. Know where I can get
    another bearing at didnt see them listed on unicycle.com, or is it
    covered under warranty or what? I have the clicking problem also.

  8. The problem that everyone is talking abut is the axle moving inside the
    hub. Not a clicking. If you have any problems or any questions i am
    sure that if you call unicycle.com they can help you.

  10. The problem is where there is actually movement seen on one crank when
    you move the other crank even when the bolts are very tight.

    To what noise or movement?

    Actually both can be solved by makeing sure everything is tight that can
    be. If movement/noise persists then follow John Childs instructions and
    bond the hub/keyway in position.

  14. Some. Not all by any means.

    All the stock at Unicycle.com are being delt with prior to being
    distpatched. So there should be no more with problems.

  17. yes and no....

    Been doing a lot of these exact answers recently havn't I.

    The bearings on the KH are 42mm, the ones on the Yumi are 40mm. But....
    because the bearing holders are pressed steel they tend to be able to
    fit the larger bearings in, but only just. You tend to need longer
    bolts though.

    Hope this helps.

  18. i thought i read somewhere that the kh bearings have a shim on them is
    this true and if so could i remove the shim to make the yuni frame fit
    better
