KH Moment Ti Hub
It looks like the cracks started at the cutout KH logo. Those logo's are overkill and are not good for the strenght of the hub. The holes in the flanges of K1 or Nimbus hubs are way better, since they are smaller and not to close to the welds.

KH Moment Ti Hub
Appears to be stress fracture from metal fatigue. You know how a piece of wire bent repeatedly in the same place ultimately breaks? Well this appears to be a "stress fracture" from repetitive "flex" at the weld. Weld was defective to begin with. -- tumblebug rollin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tumblebug rollin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12020 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75130 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The KH sig holes make the flanges bent on the KH hub. My flanges are almost only bent where there is the KH signature hole. It make a really wide gap in the flange so it bends pretty easely. -- Emile.m Team UDC Canada visit www.municycle.ca 2nd *)---TreFlip-'O, M'y galler' (http://tinyurl.com/23w828)y (hum, 07/08 winter footage only) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emile.m's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16667 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75130 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Holes save a little weight, and have that nice smooth radius to spread the stress. I like having KH on all the parts, because uni's are kinda more a mixture of parts, on the high end, then any sort of model. Years down the road, should you want to sell a part to someone who only knows a bit, the KH branding may help show that it is a quality part. It does seem that the KH hub cut outs have gone a bit to far towards branding, and away from the theoretical perfect design. It is so cool to have Kris on this thread and dealing with this. He is likely right that this is more of a weld problem. Welders adjust their machine according to how the weld looks to them. On a cold mourning, a few hubs may be made with to cold a welder adjustment, before the welder changes the heat. When I was a commercial welder, I was paid by the hour. We did the best we could, but passed stuff from early in the adjustment process rather then make trouble for myself by saying anything. Kris is great with his warranty, and a small number of failures like this are certain even with the best of design. Welders make mistakes, even a small distraction can cause the welder to slip up in a place. Welders will never admit this, because no one will notice if they say nothing ! -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75130 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
