  1. Hi guys and girls,
    I was just wondering if the new KH frame will be able to hold a profile
    hub/crank set. I am intending to update my Muni- replace the frame-
    which is a heavy absolutely chunkeriffic frame with very little
    clearance- (with a KH 05 one) and my rim for a KH freeride one. Also i
    have heard that the KH frames do not fit the 24x3 gazz (only the duro)
    is this true?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Mark

  2. yep, you can put a profile hub in an 05 KH frame, but you need the
    brearing adapters on unicycle.com. Youll have to look at all the hub
    parts or bearing parts and youl find it.

    and yes a Gazz fits in an 05 KH frame, where'd you hear a crazy thing
    like the tire not fitting in a Kh frame?

  4. now that we are talking about profile hubs and stuff, since you have one
    do you have to put your cranks on with a press or hammer? or do they
    just slide on in with ease? How about taking them off do you have to
    get some kind of puller? i been hearing [censored] like that, is it true?

    I've got a 3 or 4 y.o. profile crankset. I broke one of the cranks on
    it and got just that one replaced. The old crank i could get on and
    pull off just by hand. The new crank i had to hammer on. It was really
    tight! I actually put a small piece of wood between the hammer and
    crank so i didnt dent up the crank by hammering it directly. If you
    have the option of pressing it, go for that over hammering.

    There are actual tools for extracting stuborn profiles.

    I guess those bad boys just loosen up a bit over time.

    *note* i use anti-seize on my splines. So its wasnt a matter of poor
    lubrication. 🙂

  9. thanks, i was just wondering because my 05 KH cranks slip on easily by
    hand and id thought the profiles would be the same, and i didn't want
    to have a bunch of tools and such to get my cranks on and off.

    P.S. where can i see these crank pulling tools u talked about?

    There are 2 or 3 different batches, the first batch fit the gazz, then
    there was one set where the frame was lower and the gazz didn't fit. I
    think the new ones being made fit the Gazz you should just call whoever
    you are buying it from to find out. This is just what I rember, I
    could be wrong

  11. thanks a heaps everyone-
    Profiles that have been ridden allot seem to be easier to take off and
    put on the axle. New ones i have put on using a mallet and a piece of
    wood to stop adverse marking on the cranks.

  12. I got one of the batches (of frames) that was too small for a Gaz, which
    is okay since I run a Duro anyhow. Be warned that the shimmed Profile
    crans don´t perfectly fit the KH 24, and since the KH crank set (the
    new, splined one) is so good, if you can afford 300 buck for the
    wheelset, go with the KH, for which the frame was made. Otherwise the
    tire will never run exactly true which makes setting up a brake
    problematic.

  14. The 05. I have not heard anything about the 06 frame, or when abouts it
    is even comming out. I might buy an 05 frame when the 06 comes out
    because then the cost will go down (unless of course the new frame is
    clearly superior to the last model)
