  1. Needing bearings to put a KH Isis hub in a frame with 40mm bearing
    holders.
    Are they out there?

    Are the Isis hubs a "raw" 22mm or are there shims between the axle and
    the bearing?

  2. Not in the right width. If you came up with a shim (more of a bearing
    sleeve) that would work for OD and width the following two might work.

  3. I looked for these for over a year before I gave up and bought profiles
    (kind of.)

    Good luck.

  5. I hope I missed something, but months ago I researched that very size
    and came up with nothing. There are bearing manufacturers that can do
    some custom sized small-batch prototypes (I found one in Seattle), but
    it's pricey.

    Some ISIS axles are 20mm, some 22mm, and some 25mm. I bet there are
    other sizes too.

    Edit: The KH axle is actually 22 OD.

    Is the one in the box 22mm?

  7. This is why I posted an open letter to Kris Holm a few months ago now
    (3-4) that said something like dear kris holm, please make a moment
    option with 40mm OD or something like that. The thread got pretty
    long, actually - you might find an answer there.

    But, really, KH needs to listen to demand. People have been asking for
    this bearing option for YEARS.

    Heres the thread:

  9. If you believe the demand is there to justify the several thousand
    dollar cost of commissioning a run of a custom bearing size, you are
    as able to get it done as Kris is. Just call the bearing maker and
    place your order.

    I am sure he just doesn't believe he can sell enough to recoup the
    investment.😎 Better he spend his $ designing the new KH 36.🙂

  10. pdc, yes the KH hub is 22mm, and the bearings are 22/42 (a common size,
    whereas 22/40 can't be had!) All Conundrum frames were made
    specifically for the KH Moment hub (size & width).
