New KH Hub, defective??

definitely ask for a replacement; you payed for a top of the line hub,
and to settle for less would be an insult to your intelligence.

I just recieved a new KH Hub for the muni I am building and right away,
the orientation of the crank arms looked kinda "off", like they were
not quite at 12 and 6 o'clock. I tried moving them to different
positions on the splines and to the other side, but the odd orientation
remained. In the attached photos, I illustrated this "gap" by
placing both crank arms on the splines at the 12 0'clock position on a
flat surface.

I think this looks like more than just a slight manufacturing error, I
guess I expected more from KH??
Anyone seen this before? What do you think?
Should I ask for a replacement hub/crank arms??

Brycer1968

umm... how about putting them on the right way?
try and then keep complaining if necessary

Umm, not complaining, I did try putting them on the right way, but the
arms are off that same 1/4" in the correct positions, making me think
the hub is defective. Point being that I don't want to invest wheel
building time/$$ if the hub is defective.

Other thoughts??

could you switch the cranks around and take another picture? see if the
left side still sticks up with the cranks changed. then you can see if
it's your cranks or your hub that needs to be replaced.

Everyone hates clowns

Ive gone about the whole summer without unicycling, I procrastenated on
sending some cranks back

When I bent my first set of crankarms, I thought it was bad thing; when
i jumped off of a picnic table, well, my photo says it. thats about a
20-30 degree bend.

problem before trying to get it replaced.

That was exactly my thought. Now I am very worried, because I want to
see if my hub and cranks are correctly lined up. I just bought my KH
less than a month ago, and might have the same problems.

BTW. Anyone knows what direction I should spin the allen key to take
off my KH Moments? Clock or Counter Clock? Thanks in advance.

It's very hard to gauge when the hub is already built into a wheel. My
cranks are jammed in there very tight also. I am going to need crank
pullers for this.

Do you guys think that two levels (one on each crank) will show if my
hub/cranks are off? If so, I am going to home depot tomorrow. Or do I
have to break it down to see?

Sorry for the thread jack.

A friend got a KH24 within the last month and he has the same problem.
He tried a different set of cranks and had the same offset. Looks like
it is the hub in his case and I would guess yours as well. He got his
from a bicycle dealer but not sure which one.

The levels would only work if the surfaces of the crank arms were flat.
but if they're curved a little bit so it'd be impossible to tell.

Make sure that you assembled them on the correct spline.

For a 10 spline system, it would have to be way more angled to be on
the wrong spline.

These aren't Profiles.
