Splined hub for my Muni

UniTyler · 2006-11-14T14:35:39+00:00

I'd really like to get a splined hub for my Muni for Christmas, or with Christmas money, because I'm really getting more and more into muni riding. Here's the specs of the Muni: Yuni frame UDC Wide hub with the regular 40mm bearings Random 165mm bike cranks Alex DX32 rim Duro Wildlife Leopard tire KH Seat The question is, what hub assembly shall I get? I'm trying to keep the price low, as in the price of the KH Moment (why's it so cheap?) and the Qu-Ax. I have my eye on the Qu-Ax because I have heard its bearings are changeable unlike the Moment's, and if it is both reasonably strong and I can either fit those bearings or replace them with 40mm ones, I'm set. My muni rocks socks, 'cept for the hub and cranks that I'll bend here in the next few higher jumps I do... I've got wheelbuilding covered, by the way. There's a guy downtown in a tiny, old, cluttered bike shop that I've had work on my unicycles and bikes forever. He's awesome, and most of the time offers to work on small stuff free. Of course, my dad being the nice guy that he is, always pays him. I'm guessing the wheel build will be under $20... 😄 -- UniTyler Be thankful you didn't need to take a [censored] or a #2 while you were out there. and yes it will only have 1 wheel and will not run on suger and farts ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UniTyler's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6120 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54868

I'd really like to get a splined hub for my Muni for Christmas, or with
Christmas money, because I'm really getting more and more into muni
riding. Here's the specs of the Muni:
Yuni frame
UDC Wide hub with the regular 40mm bearings
Random 165mm bike cranks
Alex DX32 rim
Duro Wildlife Leopard tire
KH Seat
The question is, what hub assembly shall I get? I'm trying to keep the
price low, as in the price of the KH Moment (why's it so cheap?) and
the Qu-Ax. I have my eye on the Qu-Ax because I have heard its
bearings are changeable unlike the Moment's, and if it is both
reasonably strong and I can either fit those bearings or replace them
with 40mm ones, I'm set. My muni rocks socks, 'cept for the hub and
cranks that I'll bend here in the next few higher jumps I do...

To help you choose, you may want to see what's available in crank
lengths for the hubs that you are looking at. I just checked on UDC and
they have only 170mm cranks available for the QUAX hub.

get the kh moment, its hard to find a 48 hole rim to use. and yes i know
you can lace it to a 36 hole rim, but its not as strong or reliable.

Well the alex DX-32 rim is 48 hole, isnt it? If so, dont go with the KH
hubset. Go Qu-ax, and getting used to the 170mm will be easy if your
used to 165.

Mr. C, get the KH Moment hub and any pair of ISIS cranks you want
(except Koxx1). Lots of good ISIS cranks on eBay too. For your size a
165 should be fine. Any longer and your foot circle relative to your
leg length may get excessive without any added benefit.
The Moment hub has no issue with bearings; they install and come off
like any other hub. But the Moment axle is 22mm, so you may not be
able to find anything but the 22mm ID / 42mm OD bearings that come
with. The Yuni bearings holders may well be able to accept a 42mm
bearing.
If so, then it's just an easy wheel re-build, and you can likely even
re-use the existing spokes.
