Yep! So I'm DEFINITELY waiting to see the new coker *before* I buy a
36er! I've got Vivalargo's KH 29er with 137mm's to tide me over 'till
then!😄

Wohoo! This is terrific news, finally a new rim. Also, a new hub? Hmm, I
wonder if they did anything fancy with the hubs... ISIS, geared?

I emailed them back making it known that we want a WIDE hub, not that
old narrow unstable suzie deal.

I think the current UDC extra-wide hub might actually be too wide. I
think it has introduced a little bit more wobble in my ride. ...but
yeah, the suzue is way narrow.

I find it interesting that they're going to sell their hub
individually. That must mean that they're making a new hub and not
using an existing one.

*cough* QU-AX *cough*.

As far as hubs go, it takes a -little- longer than a few months to
manufacture, from nothing, a geared hub. Also, there are no ISIS
spindles wide enough to produce a wide-isis, again it would need
designing and machining from scratch, something I don't think coker are
willing to do since (IMHO) they currently hold the 'cheap & functional'
segment of the 36 market and this would be prohibitively expensive.

Loose.

I emailed coker cycles in an effort to try to obtain some concrete info
on the new, "improved" coker that's supposed to be unvailed in the
coming weeks. I inquired specifically about whether they would be
offering a better rim, namely a double walled aluminum like the
airfoil. Here's the response, which is ecouraging to me!

<<Hello Terry,

Thanks for your inquiry. Although I can not go into much detail
at this point, (legal reasons and all) I -can- tell you that we will
be
offering a new double-walled aluminum rim that will replace the old
steel rim
on all our our new models. In addition to the new complete unicycles,
we'll
be selling rims and hubs separately. Stay tuned as we'll be releasing
more
information in the coming weeks.

Best regards,

Kendall

I can see how no braking surface would make this a no-go for some
people but how can you have anything against a 48 spoke rim on a 36"er?

...Except apparently the newer Coker tires are a different size than the
older ones? As that plot continues to thicken, I hope somebody is
paying attention and speaking up to all these guys before we end up
with all sorts of parts that don't fit together!

New rim sounds nice. Mostly I think they'll be trying to upgrade while
keeping the price as low as they can. Can't wait to see the result!

What we need is more competition, i.e., more suppliers/retailers that
carry the higher end unis, parts and accessories. That's what makes
prices competetive, and gives consumers *more* choices!
