  3. At CMW he was riding a KH regular trials uni (stock hub, cranks, testing
    frame), and a new prototype version of the KH muni wheel. He used a KH
    regular frame. The same goes for moab, although there he was on a normal
    KH hub and cranks for his muni. One question for you, though, Drewation,
    if YOU got to custom design a unicycle from the ground up, would YOU
    ride it? It's not very good marketing if the designer doesn't even like
    the product he's selling.

  6. You have to remember that kris holm has designed all his own unis which
    probably means they are somewhat designed for him and all the vids I
    have seen he is rdin his own so I will say he mare than often rides his

    yeah, Tim Allen's tool line is [censored]. i also doubt that Martha Stewart
    shops at Big K.

    Kris rides his stuff now. at muni week-end i also asked him if he missed
    the CF plate since hes on a KH seat now. he said he didnt and acually
    likes it better. me too.

  9. I am not positive but I bet you thery are really almost the same in
    quality except the profile hub has a lifetime warrenty so if he breaks
    it he gets a free new one

    It's true. But in many of those cases, the person may have supplied
    only their name or reputation, and not had a hand in the design or
    quality of the items. As we know, Kris Holm is the brains behind his
    products, and they're designed to be good enough for him. That means
    they're good enough for anybody, except the odd Ryan Atkins here and
    there. ๐Ÿ™‚

    But don't be surprised to see Kris (and other designers/builders) doing
    a lot of riding on prototypes and experimental stuff. New stuff is
    always in the making, and it needs testing and miles on it.

    In the future Kris' lines may expand to include more entry-level stuff,
    making it more accessible to beginner and lower-budget riders. Not that
    his current line hasn't already made high-end MUni a lot more
    accessible. But if lower-end models do come out, I won't be expecting
    him to ride them as long as he's still Kris.
