  3. I'd get koxx hub and cranks instead of profiles because they come in
    different lengths, and are cheaper./

  4. I don't think that there is a koxx dealer in Canada. If I import stuff,
    and if it is over 50$, then I have to pay the awful border fees of 50$.
    I have to add 50$ to anything over fifty! So anything out of Canada is
    out of the question.

    sounds good, wide rims are awesome but isn't the echo rim 32hole?
    last I heard, http://www.trialsin.com had a few 36 hole 48mm x 19 zhi
    rims.

    Why not get a 27.2 post?
    you can find thomson's for under 30$ on ebay. Shimed posts make me go
    😕

    I presume you want the echo rim to save weight? Well, 1 drilled rims
    can add to strength complications, 2 if you really wanted to save
    weight, you wouldnt get the pfile hub. Go with a standard rim, non of
    that drilling nonsense. Get a Alex or Kh.

  7. echo is better because it is wider, not for weight. I wish we had 32
    hole uni hubs.

  9. Yes, the echo is good because it is so wide. It does come in 36, that
    was the first thing that I checked. The holes don't make an overall
    diference in strength. My brother rides bike-trials, and he has landed
    10ft drops on one of these, on the rear wheel.

  10. bike trials riders land way softer than unicyclers.

    divison8 is in canade. they can get you koxx stuff.

    also, the KH frame takes 27.2 seatposts.

  11. If you plan to ride alot outside in the winter I'd try another tire
    other then the Maxxis. I think I'm the only one who has had problems
    with them but riding in -20 alot mine cracked. If that's a problem for
    you I'd go with another tire, just so you don't take the chance...

  12. Yes, you're right, the post is 27.2😉 Thanks! Uniquely Canadian, I have
    a Luna tire with studds in it. This is my ice beast! I made it of steel
    screws, just be careful not to get your leg on you tire, it really
    hurts!:p

    No, he landed back wheel first, and kept it up, even when he landed.

  14. I had heard that they are much softer on parts. maybe I'm wrong though.

    anyway, you can get koxx stuff from www.division8.ca

    Doesn't matter, he probably absorbed it with his legs and pushing the
    front down, even if the front tyre hit the ground.
