KH rim...Demolished...

How freaking high was the drop, and was it to flat or did you (try) to
roll out? How much air was in the tire? Damn that sucks!

It was so a small slant, I tried to roll out and the air pressure was
pretty normal, lil on the low side for comfort...

really wrecked, but almost... flatspot and bend that made it like 1/2
mm from rubbing)

No worries im feelin the love lol. Well to Brian, I checked the spokes
before I road out because there was one missing that I broke doing a
360 unispin off a ledge and one of my heels caught it...So I was making
sure that the rest of the uni was still in top shape..But when I got
the rim from UDC it wasnt straight, it was like someone had already
thrown it out of true...Ohh and I was using a KH because the Original
Try all rim got out of true pretty bad at Moab, I was told KH rims were
stronger SO I told Renegade I was going to use one to see if it was
true..Got my answer...I just cant ride any drilled rim 😄. Ohh and I
weight about 155lbs..

And Terry, that line is a one of 2 that I used to frequently do and is
less than 0.2 miles from my house, here is a clip of the better one
that I have done ohh so many times...

moded it with the yuni frame and stiffstick seat post

Perhaps the thread title should be 'improperly maintained unicycle does
not stand up to drops' thus keeping KH's name and product out of the
mud; he put 36 spoke holes in there for 'some' reason

Well thats a drop I do all the time out here its pretty much in my
backyard. I have done it with 3 missing spokes on my dx, and with my
try all with one missing spoke... they didn't have anywhere near this
bad of damage done...

uhm
not to be a meanie or make this thread all technical, but that spoke
doesn't have a big impact on wheelstrength as far as MAASSSIIIVE
flatspots like this one go. It is not a surprise to me that cody did
this because of his riding style, but to say that it is all his fault
is wrong. if that spoke was in properly, it would have done very nearly
the exact same thing.
