  1. we are in a geared uni revolution its alot like [censored] it started small
    then bonded with many powerfull people (krisholm) to extend its reach
    furter with a geared muni then a geared 36 coker noone can stop it now

  2. I'm going to let this one slip because you're only twelve, but both
    pointless topics and references to [censored] usually arn't appreciated on
    forums. Mainly references to [censored] are severely frowned upon...

  4. The problem with mentioning [censored] is that he did tons of really evil
    stuff and in all respects, not that long ago. There's still people
    alive that lived through some of that horrible stuff.

    So while you're not saying "I <heart> [censored]" or anything rediculous,
    it's a subject that's very sensitive and probably easier to avoid given
    the huge amount of emotion that still surrounds the topic.

    Also remember that the experiences that people in North America had was
    greatly different from the experiences that people in Europe had- since
    it was their back yard and neighbors that had to endure the vast bulk
    of effects from [censored].

    I'm not saying that you were "wrong" to say what you said, just
    offering some perspective to why anything pertaining to [censored] or the
    Nazis is a very sensitive subject that is usually best to leave out of
    casual conversation when something else could adequately be
    substituted.

  5. Yeah, no more [censored] refrences, ok? I dont think that Kris Holm plans do
    to any thing evil. And geared unis are not evil, are they?

    I don't personally think geared unis will fly until they are much
    cheaper. I can get a geared bicycle for about $30 rather than $1000+
    for the uni. Cokers are cheaper than the geared unis too. Both have
    advantages and disadvantages. The one really cool thing is the geared
    MUni that might be comming out. I still wouldn't buy it at over 1000$
    though. Geared unis are cool, they just dont really interest me until
    they get a bit better and cheaper.

    Please, just shut up about [censored].

    i agree and thats why this is going to be a scary moment in time for KH
    unicycles... it just seems impossible that there wont be somone getting
    seriously hurt from a gear slipping at a critical moment.

    products like this more often than not, have a short life due to the
    court system.

    That stuff can happen in a car's gearbox, but the grearing in a
    unicycle hub is nuch more simple. I am sure that geared hubs can, and
    will be built stronger than you would ever need on a muni.

    Geared hubs would be a huge asset for street riding. Imagine being able
    to ride fast enough on a 20 to clear a picnic table!

  16. Talking about gears slipping/malfunctioning.....Does anyone remember
    this? It was quite a nasty accident, and it happened with one of the
    first generation geared hubs.

  17. I do remember that...but in the words of Ken Looi himself:

    -A few notes on the hub slippage: it happened on the first generation
    hub and Florian had been very concerned that I was still using it, so
    my apologies to Florian- I know he's corrected the problem (and did a
    very expensive product recall) and if I had had more time I would have
    switched over to the Generation 2 hub before the trip. But I was
    seriously pressed for time before the LUT. Sad excuse but I can't do
    anything about that now.-

    So there was a problem with the first generation hub, but it should be
    all better now.
