  1. I just bought a KH wheelset and to my suprise one of the cranks apears
    to be bent. I dont really know if it's the crank or the axle that is
    bent and im wondering how many people have bent the KH/onza axle? I
    know alot of people have bent the cranks.

  2. Do you mean the spindle is bent? It might be that the cranks aren't on
    right, there are 36 splines on it so they might not be put on straight.

  3. If you post a picture we could tell more easily what the problem is.

    I checked that right away, and thats not it. I looked a bit closer and
    im pretty sure its the crank.

    Ok it's the crank, I took it off and put it against a flat surface.
    There's a slight concave on one side and a slight convex on the other.

    Oh and another thing, there's alot of spacers and stuff on the hub, are
    all of the nessesary or can the be removed.

    If you can't get over the hate in one puny internet thread on a
    unicycling site, then you will never hack it out in the "real world"
    where crack smoking bumbs throw rocks at you while you're practicing
    your 360 unispin.

  6. The KH 2005 cranks are quite easy to bend, there's 2 versions of them:
    1.6mm walls and 1.8mm cranks. I've bent my first set in 2 weeks, and
    the second set in 2 days, I'm not waiting for the thicker cranks, but
    they're not in stock at Europe so Roland has to get them shipped from
    Taiwan along with some other products.
