Nimbus ISIS v.s KH ISIS Hubs



O

Guest
Hey everyone, on UDC i have noticed that the nimbus isis and kh isis are
the same price for just the hub. i was wondering which is
better(stronger, lasts longer, and lighter?) I would definatly go with
the KH if i just got the hub, but i found 'this wheel set'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1094), for a really
good price, i think, and was wondering if this would be a good setup if
i went with this wheel and KH moment cranks.


Thanks for all help!

Thats nice and a great price. Not as wide as the new rims, but very nice
setup, great deal.

hub?And i dont have the money right now, cuz i'd have to get cranks 2,

I sent a similar question to UDC, and they said that the nimbus isus hub
is the same material, made in the same factory, but with a different
logo.

It's basically a KH in black.
I'd get that wheel asap

if your planning on buying it I would buy now then save up for cranks
cause its a sweet deal and I doubt they will last for long.

Damn good deal!

Wish I wasn't buying a KH24 now :rolleyes:

I'd definitely upgrade my DX wheel with that, though only for better
cranks, after like the third time I trued my DX wheel, it's never even
budged since then... it came to me with really loose spokes... oh well,
I'm still happy with my DX :)

The Kh hub has a drilled spindle, the nimbus hub does not. This means
that the nimbus hub is deffinitely heavier, but most probably stronger.
Other than that, and minor cosmetic details like the flange cut-outs,
they are identical.

According to Rogers website the KH ISIS is 644g vs the Nimbus ISIS
which is 635g.

The flange cutouts are minor cosmetic details but (with all due respect
to Kris), do you really need to have his initials on yet more bits of
your unicycle?

I've just ordered a Nimbus ISIS for my Titanium XC 29'er Muni.

Thats interesting, I wonder what makes the Nimbus hub lighter if the KH
has the drilled spindle and the Nimbus doesnt.

valuable info!

im not really that worried about looks though, so its not that big of
an issue( at all) i just like that this hub is in a complete wheel, at
a good price, an i also dont need to get it laced now!!

yeah that is interesting. Could the paint be a different thickness, or
material?

+1 i'd love to see it!
