there's nothing wrong with the Koxx Isis hub & cranks, Yoggis tested
them to death so you have to assume they're pretty good. The pedals
seem a little too vicious, a set of platform V12s (or Wellgo
equivalents) would be better, but apart from that it seems pretty cool.
Its not perfect, but if you can't upgrade whats the point? I'd love to
have a setup like KcTheAcy has got, but that'll cost me about £300 in
upgrades, so i've started saving!

But yes they are strong and will last long.
PS: my Englisch isn't good.

Your english is prefectly understandable, and at the risk of offending
some members of the forum you're doing much better than a lot of native
speakers who post on here.

The Koxx cranks are pretty big and beefy, and they have almost no
Q-factor so they can be strange to get used to, and look a bit funny. I
think thats more to do with the prevalence of Profile-style 3pc cranks
in unicycling, rather than a concerted effort to avoid other crank
types though.

Off topic: whats the reason for Q-factor anyway?

It cost the same as the regular KH in UK dollars, so it probally cost
as much as a KH in US dollars.

I don't like the cage pedals and the monty 19x2.7 tire, apart from that
its pretty cool. Is it like a cross between kris holm and koxx-one
trials?

Wow, thats crazy. Its pretty much an all new beast, not like any retail
trials cycle I've seen. According to the site it has:

KH Frame: My favorite frame. Amazing in my opinion.

KH Gel Seat - I haven't seen this on a retail unicycle yet, koxx has a
similar one but I've never used it. Suppose to be really nice.

2.7" Monty Reifen Tire - I remember it being announced a bit ago but
I've never even seen it until now. I have no idea how it rides. Looks
cool though.

Try All Rim - Never seen it on a retail mass produced uni before.
Really Wide (Good for the Wide Tire I guess). Its 47mm compared to 42
for the KH and 38 for the Alex, I believe. I've heard some people like
and some think it's too weak.

Koxx Hub / Cranks - Heard very good things about them.

Alien II Pedals - I've always hated cage pedals.

This is one of the unicycles I'd absolutely love to try but am too
scared to purchase. 4 out of the 6 things I mentioned I've never seen
on a mass produced uni before. Crazy. Oh yeah, it says on the site
it's 544.00 USD after VAT.

Kc, what exactly is a Uk dollar? I'm not trying to be snide, I just
didn't quite understand what you meant in your last post.

cegli, reifen is german for tyre. I've ridden the Koxx and the UDC gel
saddles, they're both pretty good, I agree about the pedals. Also of
some interest is the fact they felt the need to upgrade the seatpost
clamp from the single bolt the Kh uses as standard, or maybe that's
just what they could get cheap.

Incidentally the frame in this photo seems to be the older, higher
crowned version

Sorry I ment Euro, I must not have been thinking.

Someone asked how much it cost in USD so I was thinking that since it
cost 449,00 EUR and the KH 05 also cost 449,00 EUR then it would cost
about the same as a KH in the US would.

That is one nice uni. The only thing I don't like is the pedals, and I
think it could do fine with a 2.5 creepy crawler.

Yeah, 2.5" is fine... not that I've tried the 2.7 though... but I don't
feel the need for anythign much bigger. About the pedals though... they
MAJORLY suck. The grippy outer-layer is attached to the "X" by these
screw type things... problem is.. these screw-type things just seem to
pop-out one at a time. Trust me, I've used these pedals and they didn't
last me a weekend.

From sheldonbrown.com

The lateral distance between the pedal attachment points on a crankset.
For most cyclists, the narrower the tread the better. When we walk, our
footprints fall almost in a straight line under the center-of-gravity
of our bodies. When we cycle, the "tread" forces our feet to be
exerting their force farther apart than they are designed to do. Some
theorists blame this for knee and hip problems experienced by some
cyclists, but the jury is still out on this.
A wider "tread" also creates a greater sideways force when pedaling out
of the saddle, so the rider must exert more upper-body strength when
riding "en danceuse".

A wider "tread" decreases pedal-ground clearance when the bicycle is
banked over into a tight turn.

("Tread" in this sense is sometimes referred to as "Q-factor."😉
