nimbus x frame not fitting

koebwil said:

I just bought a nimbus x street frame and it isn't fitting on my KH
wheelset with an eagle claw tire. is there any way I can fix this?
Isn't this meant to fit? the wheel seems too big for the frame.

i dont think those two are suposed to fit... A lot of stuff probabaly
wouldnt fit it maybe. It depends how its not fitting? is it too short?
too thin? what?

It is like the wheel is too thick. it doesn't make sense since the
frame is made for their street uni that uses essentially the same set
up.

well, does it have clearence for the tire at the top of the frame
(where the tire would normally be)? Is it just getting stopped at the
berring housing area?

Whatever it is, i could guess the frame isnt made for your wheelset
really.

Monty tire is wider then any other tire.
I was a bit worried to when buying a XTP frame, but it all fits snug
and even is the best clearance I ever rode.

'this' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1176) is the
frame. 'this' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1132)
is the wheel.

That wheel you linked to -should- work, but you have the Eagle Claw
Tire.

With the street frame UDC was aiming for super low crown clearance on
the average trials tire which is great for foot on crown tricks. The
frame should fit the CC, Luna and Try-All just fine. However, there are
a few trials tires (the Eagle Claw to name one) which are a bit
wider/taller and as a result may not fit.

Also there are two different versions of the Nimbus X longneck frame.
The one with 40mm bearing housings is built for cotterless freestyle
unis and the one with 42mm bearing housings is built for trials wheels.
Deflate the tire to give yourself some more room and see if the frame
fits your bearings flawlessly. If it does not fit then its possible you
were sent the one with 40mm bearing holders meant for a freestyle uni.

The frame fits the bearings I think I will just need to go home and get
my luna or my creepy crawler.

Not the best picture but here is an idea of the clearance with a creepy
crawler tire and Nimbus X frame.

It looks like you might have bought the Nimbus X freestyle frame rather
than the Nimbus X Street frame.
In the Nimbus Street unicycle 'description'
(http://www.unicycle.com/Shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1035) it says the
Nimbus X "frame has been specially widened to fit a large volume trials
tire". So it sounds like the freestyle frame won't fit a trials tire.

There are basically 5 Nimbus X frames.

There's 20 & 24" freestyle frames w/ 40 mm bearings and the newer ones
have 42 mm bearing faces, and there is the Street frame.

The street frame is basically a choped down 24" freestyle frame (wider
at the crown than the 20" freestyle) w/ 42 mm bearing surfaces.

I believe the 20" frame UDC lists for sale separately is the freestyle
one, and if that's the one you have, it won't fit. If you built up a
BMX uni w/ it, on the other hand it probably would fit that.
