gerblefranklin said:*The onzas in the us are the same as the ones on unicycle.uk.com
(comes with KH rip-off saddle). Unicycle.com just hasn't updated the
pic. Don't get the onza, the manufacturing standards aren't up to par.
Wait until September, I hear there's a kick-a** new KH hub and crank
set coming out that'll be super light, but as strong as, if not
stronger, than the profiles. I don't have any more info, but I hear
it's good. *
I don't know how much you all know, but since you know some I can fill
you in a little bit more I guess. The hub is actually a joint
development with Kris, Mike (Onza) and myself. It has moved in several
ways since my visit to Taiwan last month. There are 2 designs at the
moment, one being protyped at the moment, which has a weight similar to
that of a Suzue and Bicycle Euro's but the same strength of the best
splined unit. It should not suffer from spline deteriation due a pinch
bolt system and the flanges/body are also splined so should be more
durable... not perfect and needs testing fully! Kris and myself should
have samples to test within a month. The other option should be lighter
again! with similar cranks but an ISIS! But since this is still on my
drawing board it will be about a month behind for testing and costing
out. Either way we hope to see these on unicycles for September,
although to be realistic, it may be October or even November. Things do
take a long time to get done, unfortunately. 🙁

ps not sure where you get the idea that Onza's are made to a lower
standard, I found out that it was actually the same welder who built
both frames! The welds just look different because the Onza is lighter
weight CrMO tubing :-)
