My revised Muni

I don't think your going to go off a 6 foot drop, and if you do I'm
pretty sure your gonna be more worried about hurting yourself than you
will about hurting your muni.
I still can't picture you doing muni tyler, from what I have seen your
too clean cut and you just don't match my stereotype of a muni rider,
but from some pics you look good.
Well anyways, sounds pretty cool. So you didn't know it was ordered for
you but you just guessed is that right?
Or did you know it was ordered but didn't know the tracking number?

Anyways, your muni will probably be heavier since splined is heavier,
so you'll notice a bit of a difference in handling. I would also
recommend trying some 150mm cranks since you are shorter. 165mm seem
awful big for a young person who isn't fully grown yet. Eitherway,
have fun.

IIRC, the Yuni frame isn't compatible with the KH hub... at least the
'05 KH hub. I tried ordering one for my Yuni frame and UDC recommended
the Profile instead, to avoid any problems. I hope you have some
bearing spacers on hand!

As for the difference in ride, the muni itself will be slightly
heavier, but since the weight is at the center of the wheel you won't
notice much difference in how the muni rolls.

The reliability of a splined setup compared to a standard square taper
setup is something to consider too. It's not just advantages in
strength. The splined setup is much much less likely to have a crank
come loose and fall off during a ride. So even if you ignore the
strength benefits the reliability factor is an advantage for splined
cranks.

Are you sure? I have a Koxx-one hub in a Yuni frame and I thought they
had the same bearing specs as the KH (at least the outer specs).

I'm fairly good at Muni and I'm improving faster at it than any other
type of riding. My biggest drop is probably in the 3 foot range, and I
can hop up stairs/obstacles fairly well, so I'm decent. I'm still
clean cut, though, no worries. 😉

Here's a couple of pics for proof that I Muni... :p

-KH MOMENT:-
FLANGE WIDTH-CENTER FLANGE TO CENTER FLANGE- 75MM, FLANGE DIAMETER-
65.5 MM
*-UDC Wide:-
Center Flange to center flange distance is 71mm. Flange OD is 66mm.
Flange width is 3mm.*

Is that difference in width a problem?

"How do you know when your own secret Xmas present arrives, Tyler?"
Simple: you go to UPS reference tracking, type in "unicycle.com" as the
reference number, give the area code and shipping date time frame, and
there you go!

Hello UniTyler, Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that anyone could do
that search through ups.

I just checked unicycle.com reference for my zip code. Unfortunately I
can account for every one of the orders for the year. Was hoping to
find that there was another local unicyclist ordering stuff.

Bearing compatiblity was the problem... the OD of the KH-compatible
bearings is a few mm smaller than that of the Profile-compatible
bearings. You may be able to shim the bearings to fit into the frame,
but it doesn't sound like a super-reliable fix to me.

Either I'm not understanding maestro, or he is wrong. I was under the
impression that KH bearings are 42mm OD, and that the Profile
compatible bearings are 40mm OD. If that is the case, then the bearing
caps on your frame (a yuni made for 40mmOD bearings) will be a tiny bit
too small for the KH bearings. Your obviously can't shim it smaller,
but it might not be much of a problem because the Yuni frame doesn't
have machined bearing holders. You can probably fit the bearings in it,
but it might be really snug and that may decrease the life of your
bearings. Just make sure that wheel still spins freely.

I fit it in! It was not hard at all to get the bearings in, and they
looked completely perfect with no excess pressure on them at all. In
fact, you could never tell that they were "too big" if you didn't know
it beforehand. The flange was a perfect fit for the frame, with no
spreading or pushing involved to get it on. It was really a remarkable
fit; as if they were made for each other! 🙂 They ride great, by the
way, and the cranks were easy as pie to get on. You just tap them on a
bit with a rubber mallet, then screw them on with an 8mm allen wrench
until solid against the spacer. I didn't have a very long allen wrench
for good torque, so I just tapped it with a mallet to help, until it
pressed solidly against the spacer.

yet, but I've been hopping up and down stairs to my hearts content. I
even managed to gap sideways down two wide stairs from a standstill
today. 🙂
