trials setup

Even just a 6 month warranty would give buyers more confidence and more
incentive to choose over profiles.

I think alot of people probably would hurt themselves trying to break
their cranks right before the 6 months is up😉

Yeah maybe a "50% discount if you send back your broken cranks" would
be feasible?

watcha think of this setup? its time to upgrade my kh 20"...

nimbus II trials frame
green jim c pedals
05 kh hub and cranks
thompson elite seatpost
new fusion green seat
kh rail adaptor
luna tyre
kh free ride rim
14g spokes

Isn't the KH frame ment to be the strongest and lightest there is? I
have a Nimbus frame and it seems pretty strong even though it's ugly
but why downgrade? It's not that cheep 🙂

Is the Alex DX32 rim also supposed to be stronger than the KH freeride?
Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm going to join you in getting some Jimmy C pedals. They look so
lovely! Does anyone know where to get them is seafoam green? Is there
anywhere that sells them in pink still?

Hope this helps,
AndyC

the 04 frame certainly isnt light! maybe the 05 one tho, yeah im gonna
powdercoat mine.

as i understand it the kh rim is stronger because its designed for
unicycling, horizontal stresses rather than vertical stresses, the alex
is a bike rim neways

because im selling my kh 20" as a whole and the nimbus seemed like a
strong, cheap frame

The Alex dx32 rim is a proven winner, its strong and holds up well over
time. Personally I would get 5 alex rims before I would buy a kh one
(the 29er rim is the exception to that)

As far as frames go, I'm fairly sure that the new 05kh frames are
lighter than the nimbus or yuni frame as well as they have a bigger
seat post might stop you from bending so many if you are doing that
already.

My personal choice is that the quality of the nimbus is not that high
and if you can invest in the KH or hold on to the one you have and
build up from there. Not only are they stiffer frames but they are made
alot better and hold up well.

Your other parts look fairly standard.

Is there a reason you are changing your set up?

It seems the pedals and the seat post are the only two parts I see that
are clearly better than what you find on a stock 04kh. So why clean
house and start from scratch?

Cheers
Mike

looks like I got beat out on most of my points...

unicycle.co.nz dont sell those tho :p .

Yeah im not so much bending them, just snapping off the plate thingy.
But the frame is the weakest part on a unicycle, i dont think i will
ever bend my frame.
ummm im building a new one cuz itz so heavy! and i know that i will
bend the hub/cranks badly very soon, iv bent one of the cranks a
little....ive decided to go with profiles because of the lifetime
warranty.

Something like that would be great.
Bicycle helmet brands often do have a crash-discount, with about 30%
discount if you hand in your crached helmet! Somethign similar to the
unicycle-crank-industry would be interesting! 🙂
