  1. Finally my uni turned up on tuesday but hadn't had a chance to post any
    pics etc yet.

    So the uni consists of:

    KH 07 trials rim
    black spokes
    red tryall rim tape
    tube
    luna tyre (i ride street so i dont need the grip of a cc and i wanted
    to try something else)
    KH moment hub/cranks 137mm
    red tryall pedals
    iron cross valve cap
    koxx 1 frame (as seen on a red devil)
    white koxx 1 seat clamp
    crmo post
    KH 07 fusion street saddle blue

    so thats the parts, havent got any great pics yet as i have been busy
    riding but here is one..

    so yer thats it, feel free to comment
    although it isnt the lightest possible uni it feels damn fine to me and
    i am sooo glad to finally have a quality uni that will last me a long
    time.

    up at night because it would be if it did but none the less. You have 1
    very cool looking unicycle there my friend. When you take it for a
    spin. 😄 😄 😄

  9. I think it looks cool, too bad you can't get the hub in red, that would
    make it amazing.

    One thing though that is really really wrong with your uni is the
    wheel. It is super weak right now. You are always going to be landing
    on either the weld or the valve hole, this is the worst spot on the rim
    to be landing on. To fix this just take your cranks off and rotate them
    90 degrees so that they line up with the two spots I just mentioned.
    Since you rarely land with one of your pedals down that will mean that
    you shouldn't ever land on those weak spots in the rim.

  10. I like the non match colour look of it I think the only part I would
    change is the silver cranks and make them black as the rest works ok to
    me. I really want to pimp my KH06 but not sure what to go with yet
    still trying to find inspiration 😎

    Edit: I would maybe do the cranks white that might work too and match
    the seat clamp too

    Not if he hops left foot forward, but you're right if he hops right
    forwards.

  12. i hop left foot forward, and the idea of the colours is so that the rim
    tape, pedals, koxx1 all match.....the seat is to match the hub and not
    have it an odd one out, and the white clamp goes with the white in the
    koxx 1, and it stands out with the black frame and post. as for the
    cranks well they are unique...

    shut up sam, you dont know what you are talking about 😄

    good to hear people like it, as i love it..

    It doesn't matter, on one side of the rim there is the hole from the
    valve and then on the other side is the other weak spot where they have
    either the welded or pressed joint. Either way it is a weak spot and he
    should rotate his cranks. It isn't hard to do either, and it will make
    his uni wayyyy stronger.

  14. ntappin, ok yer will do, will i need a crank extractor to get the crans
    off the spline or what do ya reckon? also the cranks are alluminium
    arent they? just concerned as it looks like i can see rust where crank
    grabs have damaged them a little bit.... not too stressed but just
    curious

    thanks
