  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

    in weight.

  13. 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.

  17. 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?

  19. 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.
