    I was riding my KH Trials 05 today and I i did a large sideways jump off
    a ledge and the upper part of my rim peeled off and got bent outwards
    and the innertube buldged out. Does anyone know what i mean by the
    "top part" it is like a 3/4 inch part of the rim that got bent way
    outwards. Anyways my question is: is that permanent damage or can i
    fix this somehow. Also is this the best rim or should I opt to get a
    higher quality one. Thanks
    Eric

    I got it at Unicylce.com (of course) what kind of warranty do they have
    on the KH20 05?? So you think if i got a NEW KH rim it would hold up
    fine? Its stupid how weak that is, i only weight 155 and i did about a
    3 or 4 foot side jump/drop

    I do think if you got the new KH rim it should hold up fine.

    We got my KH20 05 from Bedford unicycles so I'm not sure how the
    warrantee process works with Unicycle.com. If I understand correctly,
    it would under warrantee directly from KH unicycles.

    I would recommend that you contact Unicycle.com to resolve the issue.
    They would know better how to help you. 🙂

    It's so weird, I hear about all these people breaking their KH rims on
    mundane drops, but I have had my KH Freeride muni for maybe 6 months
    and have done up to 4 foot drops or around there w/o any breakage and
    I've only needed to true it once.
    And yes, I have the one w/ the groove

    i've seen one of these break, the wall of the rim busts off where a
    groove was machined in it, and peels off most, or all of the way
    around.

    My understainding is, it was a flaw in the manufacturing process. Like
    the groove wasn't supposed to be there. later kh05's dont have it, and
    ones that do are being replaced for free.

    I contacted unicycle.com and they said they would replace it for free,
    besides shipping.
