My new KH/Schlumpf 36!!!
John - My wheel is not as stiff, but that is simply because it is a loose wheelbuild, I am bringing it by the LBS to have it tensioned today. Even with a loose wheelbuild though, I didn't notice any problem with it flexing, it feels great(this may be the fact that Ken said that the frame is quite stiff). Most of my experience has been on the extra wide hubs, but it feels a lot better having a narrower hub. This set up is amazing, and I can only imagine how great it will feel having a 29er tube, shaved tire, and my mg-1s. Ken - After riding my kh/schlumpf 36, I don't think I will ever yearn for an ungeared 36 ever again. And yeah...so far no knee problems! It really does feel like riding a bike and I haven't had sore knees yet, but I only took it out for 10-15 miles yesterday. I took it up some hills yesterday and I definitely feel the weight of the wheel when trying to climb in high gear, having a lighter tube may help, but climbing in high gear feels like riding a heavy/slow bike. Simply shifting into low gear makes everything nicer though. Riding in high gear on flat or slight downhill or slight inclines feels amazing though. -- siafirede 'DCuni' (http://www.dcuni.com/blog) - my blog about Unicycling in Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland *James* = my name ------------------------------------------------------------------------ siafirede's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6057 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74768 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

My new KH/Schlumpf 36!!!
Nice photos James! Here is the data from Florian about hub width: 1. Old version distance between midth of bearings: 90mm distance between flanges (where the spokes are mounted): 55mm for bearings d40x12 axle with square ends comes with torque lever 2. New KH version: distance between midth of bearings: 100mm distance between flanges (where the spokes are mounted): 70mm axle for ISIS cranks doesn’t need a torque lever for bearings d42x12 fits all KH frames from model year 2007 or younger (see details on http://www.schlumpf.ch ) 3. New FS version: distance between midth of bearings: 100mm distance between flanges (where the spokes are mounted): 70mm axle with square ends doesn’t need a torque lever for bearings d40x12 fits any frame, which is made for bearings d40x12, with clamped bearing holders (not just pressed in bearings, because there is a torque on this part) The UDC Extra Wide hub (and our previous Tom Miller custom hubs) are 100mm as is the Nimbus ISIS Super Wide: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1304 The wheel feels fine (assuming high-quality spokes and wheel build). You can ride off drops and it doesn't wobble like the old narrow Coker wheels. I don't do drops of more than 18" or so but it feels solid enough. The real test is brakes. A normal HS33 works fine. You can crank as hard as you want climbing and the pads don't rub. Beau and Corbin and Chuck did some 20mph riding on bumpy dirt (insane!) and they worked fine. I broke my all time uni speed record the other day and it was an anticlimax - no big deal at all and I wasn't even trying to go fast. It was 20.9mph, slightly faster than my fastest ungeared speed. Rock solid. ---Nathan -- nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nathan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/251 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74768 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

For what it's worth though, my coker was always on a suzue hub, with only 90mm bearings, but with quite a tight wheelbuild and that didn't have excessive wobblyness.
