  1. Hey, Im making a new street unicycle. Its going to have a thin tire and
    20" not 19" rim.

    These are the parts i have so far:

    Koxx-One 20" frame
    KH saddle
    CrMo Seatpost
    Koxx-One splined hub with 110mm cranks

    I dont know what rim to get, I'm deciding between a Oddysey 7-Ka, Alex
    supra J triple wall rim and a Sun black label rim.

  2. make sure you get the new KH low-profile fusion saddle! it's so
    awesome!!
    much thinner (if you're in to some seat out stuff) and tilted back more
    (without a rails bracket) for comfort :-)
    I got mine from darren bedford on my new KH trials and love it!!!

  4. haha sorry, i got caught up in my excitement!!! yeah, cutting it down is
    good too.

    sounds like a cool uni
    i can't help u w/ rims, but theres a street rider on here who uses a
    20" (not a 19" trials) and loves a triple wall rim (general_dibbles i
    think)

  6. Haha, your going to have the same unis as me. i have a Street uni, its
    20", Odyssey SevenK-A rim, koxx hub with 110 cranks, summit frame, kh
    seat, snafu pedals.

    i would go with teh sevenk-a rim if oyu have hte money, its 70 bucks
    but well worth it, its a very strong rim and also very light.

  8. If laced well im going to gues youe legs are going to break ona drop
    before your rim does...so....15 feet plus, this is a beefy as [censored] rim,
    its got 7 walls in it. i mean, i suppse if oyur 250 pounts and do it to
    flat with no roll out and a flat tire im sure you could bust it, but it
    certain procautions are taken it will hold to many many years of riding
