Broken Rim?

VersatileWhale Wrote:
I was riding my KH Trials 05 today and I i did a large sideways jump off
a ledge and the upper part of my rim peeled off and got bent outwards
and the innertube buldged out. Does anyone know what i mean by the
"top part" it is like a 3/4 inch part of the rim that got bent way
outwards. Anyways my question is: is that permanent damage or can i
fix this somehow. Also is this the best rim or should I opt to get a
higher quality one. Thanks

The damage is permanent. However, you could contact the place where you
bought the unicycle. It may be under warrenty. Am I right to assume the
part where it pealed was above the "groove"?

As I've said befo "The groove was to to make hydraulic brakes
“squeak” when the pads wear too low. (Or something) Consequentially the
groove made the side wall very weak, however for me the problem has
been rectified. As far as I know most of the KH20 05's are now shipped
with new KH rims without the groove, I use the new KH rim without the
groove."

I don't do very extreme stuff but did break two of the rims, under
warranty, with the groove in them; the new KH rim is holding up great.

I am really happy with the newer KH rim (without the groove).
