Will a Profile hub fit in a KH frame?

I think you can just get bearings for the Profile hub that will fit both
the inside diameter of the hub and the outside diameter of the bearing
holders. Maybe you could email Gary of unicycles.com.au about it
because I think he has put plenty of Profile hubs in 42mm bearing
holders.

Jagur posted that he has done this upgrade and didn't need to use
shims at all. I wonder how well the bearings on that unicycle are
holding out. *

the Profile size bearings work fine with the KH frames. there is not
need to use the shims with the Profile sized bearings.

I run a KH Pro Trials frame with Profiles...but that design is quite a
bit more than the standard frame (well worth the price though) and is
only really necessary if you are snapping the standard version...But
there is that option, depending own how strong a unicycle you want. I
like mine bomb-proof!

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the only real difference between the KH
pro frame and the normal one is the pro is $400 more, has 40mm bearing
holders, is hand built in Canada, and it may have brake bosses. The only
reason they are $400 more is that Kris had to ask a welder in Canada to
custom make a small batch of them. They aren't really any stronger.

Zack Baldwin and Ryan Atkins both run KH normal frames on profile hubs,
as of the last muni weekend.

My KH Pro frame has 1-5/8" bearing holders. It was the first batch of
frames made. After that they switched to the 40mm size.

The only practical difference between the KH Pro and the KH Taiwan are
cosmetic. The bearing holders on the KH Pro are nicer than the bearing
holders on the KH Taiwan. There are other cosmetic differences too like
smoother welds. Plus there is the warm feeling you get from buying
something manufactured in Canada. The cost difference is because
Canadian labor is more expensive than Taiwanese labor and the KH Pro
frame is more carefully made.

When the 2004 KH Taiwan frames sell out, the remaining KH Pro frames
will be an alternative for the people who don't want the new aluminum KH
frame. I'm betting that Unicycle.com hasn't sold many (if any) of the
KH Pro frames since the KH Taiwan frame was available. Maybe now the KH
Pro frame sales will pick up as an option for those who don't want an
aluminum frame.

OK, so you can fit a Profile hub in a KH frame. I've had confirmation of
this from unicycles.com.au - thanks for your suggestion, Andrew.

One thing I can't understand is why the KH20 Pro model has brake mounts.
Why on earth would you want brakes on a trials unicycle? Maybe if it
were used as a kids' mountain uni, I could understand it, but the KH20
Pro wouldn't be your first choice for a kids' Muni due to its relatively
high price....
