KH 2005 Frame Seatpost width

the KH is 27.2. im pretty sure the nimbus is not that big in the seat
tube.

amonia will loosen a ceased bolt if it really bad. use wd40 if its not
so bad.

where you getting a KH frame? 04 or 05?

'05, since the Hub is an '05. I was told it would fit the Nimbus frame,
and it did, but perhaps it just shifted too much or something... I was
also told some people had had probs with it, but I only heard that after
I'd ordered/recieved the hub.

I was gonna get it from uni.com... I figure I'm safest getting the
frame the hub was designed for (or the other way around).

Anysuggestions besides uni.com?

through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

The problem (for me) is how likely am I to damage the hub in the
meantime... I waited nearly 3 months to get the hub in the 1st place,
andnow am watching summer (and choice riding) slip away before my eyes
:'(

On the other hand, cheaper is better 😉 Also, when I emailed Darren
asking about fitting, he e-mailed back next day... UDC took over 2
weeks to get back to me...

Quoted message said:

So, 2 Questions:
Is the Seatpost width the same as on my Nimbus (I couldn't see it
listed on on Unicycle.com as having any specific seatpost diameter, or
coming with a seatpost for that matter) and 2nd: Any idea on how to
loosen a frozen allen bolt on my Nimbus frame, so I can get the
current seatpost out?
Merci Beaucoup, mes amis! [/B]

Question 1: No, the diameter will be different. The KH uses a 27.2mm
post (compatible with Onza seat posts also). This is a standard bike
size so you can use bike seat posts with a rail adapter, or just buy a
standard KH or Onza post.

The Nimbus runs either a 25.4mm post (newer models) or a 22.2mm post
(older models). In either case your old post will not fit in the new
frame. It is possible to make a shim, which means you can use your old
post on the new frame. A good machinist or bike builder should be able
to knock up a shim fairly cheaply.

Question 2: First spray with CRC or a similar compound. Leave for a few
minutes, wipe and then try undoing it using an extra long allen key.
The longer the key, the more leverage and the more likely you will be
able to loosen it.

I've had my KH hub experimental 700c wheel in a Sem XL frame for a while
with no problems. The other advantage is that the KH frame does not
take the Big Apple 2.35 tire, but the Sem does. You can get the frame
directly from Semcycle with ease.

Thanks for all your input guys! Turns out it may not be warranted... I
tried a rubber shim (3/4 of the bottom of an automotive valve stem) to
put in the bearing cap, and it had no effect... didn't even make it
harder to shift, so I took the wheel out and checked the bearing holder
(Sorry for lack of proper terminology... the round shiny thing with the
bearings inside 😉)
The bearing holder is actually loose around the axle, and that's where
the shiftiness comes from... just a little slop... I'm less worried now
for some reason, though still trying to figure out how to fix it 😉
Thanks again!

Nick
