The KH prototype geared MUni. (from moab)

Yeah that thing was sweet, and tough too, I saw Kris doing crazy trials
stuff on it (in 24" mode of course)

it's a little hard to get used to the coker mode though....I got trail
rash on my elbow from it. 🙂

Someone said he broke the shifter thing off so it was stuck in 24" mode,
is that just a rumor or is it true? If I had an extra $1600 lying
around I would buy one when they come out.

No, he just broke the button to shift it, so he had to get off and stick
something in the hole to shift it with. I rode it in coker mode on
sunday, so yeah it still worked.

That would be amazing for street if he made a 19" splined geared uni.
Crazy speed but same size.

I dunno about that really. I can see your point, but it's more or less
the same to ride asa coker when it's in coker mode.

I'd be worried I'd break a $1600 uni...

Well if the idea is that its strong then I should hope it can take it,
otherwise you might aswell ride a normal geared uni and not splined.

This is a way cool advance in technology. Kris had e-mailed me briefly
about it awhile ago and I was skeptical while he was thinking it was
going to fly. From what he told me earlier this performed beyond his
expectations. It certainly performed beyond mine. I didn't think it
could be done this fast and wasn't convinced that it could be done at
all. Congratulations to Kris and to Florian for making this huge
technological leap.

And I missed Moab because I had to "work." And the "work" I'm doing is
hurting my knees as much as the Moab ride would have. Very annoying, I
would like to have seen this creature as well as the splendid assembly
of superb humanity that makes up the collective of the Moab unicycle
weekend.

For a look at the two speed prototype KH hub in action look here:

http://tinyurl.com/nr8l5

I talked to Kris a few minutes after I took this video. One of the
shifting buttions was bent on the flight to SLC and when Kris tried to
bend it back, it broke off. He had to use an Allen wrench to poke the
shifting rod when shifting from 1:1 to 1:5 mode but besides that it
worked fine.

The axle/crank interface is ISIS splines and the cranks are aluminum.
As you can see from the video, it held up well.

Harper, you were sorely missed at Moab this year. The ratio of geezers
to youngsters was loathsome at best. I represented the geezers while
John Childs represented the Seattle Area Riders. Your name was
mentioned several times in reference to geared hubs and I wore my
"Harper Hottie" tee shirt to the dinner Saturday night. Spoiled a few
appetites I must say. We did our best to represent both special
interest groups but you could have made such an impact on both fronts
had you only been there ...

That sounds awesome, I've wished there was a shiftable hub that could
take abuse before.

The video doesn't work, any other links or sources?

Any idea what the weakest link is where all the impact forces go? I
would guess the planet spindles and the holes that hold them in the
planet cage. I never thought the axle itself to be too much of a
problem and the gears that Florian makes are case hardened and much
larger in diameter than their coresponding spindles. My guess is that
he bushes the spindles with sintered bronze which might tend to get
squished and out of round. Has Kris heard from Florian where he thinks
problems might develop from impact?

I am very pleased to know that I am still spoiling appetites on a
national scale at least. My name is often raised several times in
reference to many distasteful topics. Sorry about the extra work you
had to do representing the geezer contingency. I thought Rolf was over
50 but maybe he was busy "organizing" or something.

That looks so so cool, KH frame, Schlumpf hub. Finally a well designed
frame available for the schlumpf hub.

I wish I'd never bought my standard schlumpf now, a months salary for 4
hours of unicycling and 3.5 months of not being able to ride it isn't a
good deal. By the time my schlumpf gets warrantied, I could have bought
a KH.

A 24" unicycle like that would be the ultimate do-all machine...

Mmm... Coker on over to the muni trails and then shift it into 24" mode
again.

The possibilities!

I guess I'm confused (not hard to do). Is this a new hub or a standard
Schlumpf? Is this a special version of the Schlumpf hub? What's
"prototype" about it?
