My new KH/Schlumpf 36!!!
James, you're so right. Geared on a 36" is the way to go. I love them. We are a little behind Corbin and Louise in that our Munis are still single-speed (have to fix that soon), but we are loving the dual 36ers. I set another speed record yesterday riding to work. ---Nathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 422810024_8EYmk-L.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/30027 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- 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 |

My new KH/Schlumpf 36!!!
I took it for a spin again for about an hour tonight after work. I put the shifting buttons on and played around with shifting. Shifting into low gear feels smooth and it doesn't feel silly riding in low gear like it did with the geared 29. I actually feel like I have two usable gears! Shifting into high gear feels easier on the geared 36 than on the geared 29 (although shifting into high gear is pretty easy with both), and shifting into low gear feels slightly harder, but I am sure I will get better with practice. I have only been able to ride this beast at night due to work, but even at night in the rain I am going insanely fast on it without feeling like I am out of control. I can't wait till this weekend when I will take it on a nice bike trail. Below are some pics, you can see my funky way of putting bar ends on a cut rail adapter to fit my brake (brake hasn't been installed yet). I need to cut the vertical bar end down quite a lot because that extra bit is not needed, but this was a temp solution for me until I weld a brake mount on my GB4. I just need to find someone who can weld. 30034 30035 30036 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: geared36-3.jpg | |Download: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/30036 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- 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!!!
A question for the KH/Schlumpf 36er owners. How stiff and strong is the wheel? The flange width of the KH/Schlumpf hub is less than what I'm used to with an extra-wide standard hub. It took some work to end up with a 36" wheel that I found to be stiff enough and strong enough for me and the extra width of an extra-wide hub was critical. Is the geared KH 36" wheel noticeably less stiff? -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Never Wash Your Muni 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/3d57bn) :: 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/2blym3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74768 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Is the geared KH 36" wheel noticeably less stiff? I'm a big fan of the extra wide hub too. While I can't say if the Schlumpf hub and KH 36 frame combo is narrower (Anyone know how much narrower the schlumpf is than the wide UDC hub??) and therefore weaker, but with my single speed wide ISIS hub and KH 36 frame . . . . . I'm feeling like the reduction in hub width does result in a weaker wheel. This is a limit for off-road riding, but the narrower hub seems fine for road riding with a couple of caveats: 1. You gotta fiddle with the maggie brakes to get the shoes backed off enought to not rub, yest still work as a brake. They barely do their job. 2. You really have to dial in the higher spoke tension a lot more precisely. You could go for years with a ex-wide hub with a lower tension wheel build and never have to touch the spokes and ride over all sorts fo crazy stuff, but the narrower hub build seems to need more care and feeding/frequent truing. 3. I found that the bearings that came on the Nimbus ISIS hub were loose/ defective and added to the lateral movement at the outside of the wheel. I replaced the bearings and all is well with this B -- brycer1968 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brycer1968's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11311 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74768 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Unfortunately, that spare hub is the recalled 1st Gen hub. Congrats on the new Schlumpf James! Hopefully that will solve some of your knee probs? A also found shifting is definitely easier than the 29" Schlumpf also! I'm yearning for my Unguni though....but unfortunately I only have a Schlumpf with me in Aussie. John and Brycer1968, I don't notice any flex whatsoever with the 36" KH Schlumpf. And I've revved it up well over 30km/hr on dirt. The frame is pretty stiff, so that helps.....we wrestled with one for over an hour with minimal frame flex when I wrecked my first frame. Corbin...if you can't make Unicon, how about Induni?
