Koxx hub on nimbus long neck...options?
So I turning my splined koxx 20" wheel into a freestyle uni now and I want a long neck frame. I tried to order a semcycle freestyle frame but they are out of them and don't know exactly when they are getting more in. So I would just get that new 07 nimbus but I might have a problem with the bearings. The koxx bearings are 42mm and the nimbus frame has machined bearing holders for 40mm bearings. This is what is on the koxx website about their signature frame... [image: http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...icture1-2.png] It has machined bearing holders and says it will fit 40 and 42mm bearings so is it possible that the nimbus will take 42mm bearings also? Evan told me the 22x42mm bearings are shimmed to fit on the koxx axle so it might be possible to get the torker 20x40 bearings and see how that goes but then I would also need to buy an isis crank puller to switch the bearings. Does anyone have thoughts about how to make this work? -- Spencer Hochberg 'Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer' (http://Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer) AIM: Litldude2 Email: Litldude2 (att) aol (dott) com 'Bedford Unicycles' (http://BedfordUnicycles.ca) GizmoDuck wrote: If you sit up straight you're about as aerodynamic as a flying brick wall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55509 |

I can't say anything about the new Nimbus frame, but I was running a Koxx One hub in my older Nimbus X (non long neck) with no problem at all. It actually fit in the Nimbus X frame a lot nicer than my Nimbus II frame.

[image: http://unicycle.com/images/catalog/h...dBrackets.jpg] So as long as it is close to the bearing size it will work but with the machined holders it fits more exactly. I am not sure how exact it is though... -- Spencer Hochberg 'Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer' (http://Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer) AIM: Litldude2 Email: Litldude2 (att) aol (dott) com 'Bedford Unicycles' (http://BedfordUnicycles.ca) GizmoDuck wrote: If you sit up straight you're about as aerodynamic as a flying brick wall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55509 |

Roger told me that the 42mm bearings will not fit in there but I also have a Udc freestyle wheel in my garage with 40mm bearings so I ordered the frame anyway. I still would much rather use the koxx wheel so I am going to see about getting different bearings for the koxx hub. I just need to know the OD of the axle since the bearings it comes with are shimmed to fit on there. I think I might be able to take the shims off and use smaller bearings, I need to check on that. -- Spencer Hochberg 'Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer' (http://Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer) AIM: Litldude2 Email: Litldude2 (att) aol (dott) com 'Bedford Unicycles' (http://BedfordUnicycles.ca) GizmoDuck wrote: If you sit up straight you're about as aerodynamic as a flying brick wall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55509 |

Why don't you go to your local bearing store and have them take a look at it? -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

I dont think I have a bearing store, I could take it to a bike shop maybe...I can't take the cranks off though. I guess if I was going to a bike shop anyway I could have them do it. Oh and I would just order some bearings online but I don't know the diameter of the axle... -- Spencer Hochberg 'Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer' (http://Gallery.unicyclist.com/spencer) AIM: Litldude2 Email: Litldude2 (att) aol (dott) com 'Bedford Unicycles' (http://BedfordUnicycles.ca) GizmoDuck wrote: If you sit up straight you're about as aerodynamic as a flying brick wall ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55509 |

Why can't you take off the cranks.
