If you put 'shims' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=735)
on your bearings, then yes. I would just buy a 'Nimbus II frame'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1073) and powdercoat
it whatever color you want instead of buying a Koxx-One frame. You get
better bearing holders, arguably stronger frame, and won't have to buy
a new seatpost. 'Nimbus II frame also comes in red, blue, and yellow'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1076).

Why do you want a new frame?

You could get a seatpost shim (~$2) instead of a $20 new post.

Putting a KH frame on the DX wheel would be kind of silly. Upgrading the
wheel instead of the frame is going to make a much more noticeable
difference.

I would say go for the Nimbus frame.

Well, the DX wheelset is really strong, the frame is the main weakness
that would need to be replaced/upgraded.

Well yeah, the DX wheel is near indestructible, it just weighs a crap
ton and has the narrow rim. Thats what I meant by being able to notice
the difference.


Getting a Nimbus frame and lighter hub/crankset would probably be
lighter then a KH frame on a DX wheel.
