New Fall'08 KH products available

Hey,

I'm happy to say that a few new KH products are just arriving now.
They include:
-New Moment Crank lengths, 110 mm and 110/127 double hole
-New Rollo Disk

The 110 and 110/127 cranks have a wider, deeper cutaway in the back to
reduce weight. The 110 mm version has a steel pedal insert. The
110/127 versions are threaded without steel inserts to reduce weight and
because the holes are too close together to fit inserts. The 110/127
size combines the most popular lengths for distance touring.

The Rollo disk makes crankrolls and similar tricks much easier on
Moment cranks by creating a wider platform to stand on while staying out
of the way of your ankles. A lot of you know about this component
because Spencer and some Team UTV riders have been testing the
prototypes for a while. Attached is a prototype photo; production
photos will be posted soon.

Kris

Looks nice, I probably will get rollo disks.

Prices please?
Also do you know about when UDC will have them in stock?

I'm assuming they aren't compatible with 07s though?


The Rollo disks are compatible with any Moment cranks. Part of the
objective here was to make something that helped with flat riding
without requiring riders to buy new specialized cranks.

Cool, can't wait until they're up on UDC (or maybe I will and just
decide to get them on Christmas.)

Prices?

Will there be a normal 127mm crank ?

When will the rollodisks make it to Bedford ?

Thanks,

-Isaac

EDIT: Will the rollodisks fit the KH ti hub ? I wouldn't see why not,
but i've heard some talk about them not being able to. ?

Awesome stuff! How much are the rollo disks going to be and how much
different are the production ones compared to the prototypes?

Spencer's mentioned the rollo disks a few times and I was about to make
some custom.
(EDIT: just noticed that you put that in the first post )

Definite purchase from me

There won't be a 127 mm crank because there's already a 125 mm crank.
The only reason it's 127/110 instead of 125/110 is that there has to be
sufficient space between the bolt holes.

As for the Ti hub, there's no connection between the Rollo disk and the
type of hub. You may be thinking about spoke clearance. The flange on
the Ti hub is slightly thicker and on '07 or earlier KH frames there is
very little clearance for the spokes. If it happens to be a problem it
is easily solved by building up the wheel with 14g spokes instead of 13g
spokes.

Darren didn't order these this time around but he should have them
eventually.

Prices will come out when UDC posts them. The main difference between
the production version and Spencer's prototype is that it fits better
around the crank and can't spin. It also doesn't require modification
of the axle bolt.

Great news on the cranks, as the machining on alternative short ISIS
cranks doesn't seem to be on par with Moments. Look forward to seeing
the pics.

Lighter weight versions of 125's and 137's (for XC etc on bigger
wheels) would also be sweet!
