hehe. you should have bought a wheelset instead of a rim...
BUT! there is still hope. Do you have an LBS where you live?
first things first:
1) take off your pedals (15MM BOX-END WRENCH)
2) take off your cranks (COTTERLESS CRANK ARM PULLER. if you don't
have one, your LBS probably will)
3) check bearings to see if they fit onto the new KH frame
3a) if they do fit, leave them on.
3b) if they don't fit, use a BEARING EXTRACTOR to take
them off. your LBS might have one. if not, unicycle.com sells them,
but you might be able to find one at an automotive supply store.
4a) cut your current spokes off. you won't need them
anymore. throw away that old rim, you won't need that either.
4b) buy NEW BEARINGS from unicycle.com based on
axle/bearing housing size (probably 17x40)
4b1) in the meantime, while you're waiting for new
bearings, refer to 4a
5) Take your hub and your new rim down to your LBS and buy spokes
and have them build you a wheel (ask if you can watch, so you can do it
yourself sometime) or build it yourself, if you know how.
6a) put crank arms onto NEW wheelset, clamp bearings into
frame and put pedals back on. put a seatpost in, and a seat on, and
RIDE!
6b) wait for bearings to arrive. when they do, they
need to be PRESSED onto the axle. You can either use a hydraulic press
or a bar clamp. be sure to have short pieces of metal pipe that are
17mm I.D. to push the bearings into place.
6b1) refer to 6a
UNLESS I AM INTERPRETING YOUR QUESTION AND/OR EQUIPMENT WRONG, THIS
SHOULD WORK. feel free to PM me with questions if you want.
