2004 vs 2005 KH trials

The weight is probably the most significant difference. The crank/hub
interface is more reliable and argueably stronger on the '05. The 04's
can tend to have the notorious "creaking" issues. That being said the
04's are still a strong reliable setup, and if they're truly 04's they
will have the rounded crank bolts with no nubs.

Weight and Q-factor(kindof the distance between the pedals) are the
noticeable differences for me.

Less noticeably the new design to attach the cranks to the hub is much
nicer to maintain and the Fusion saddle is easer to Mod because it is
easily removable.

I dont think the two uni's compare myself. The 04 Kh's have issues, and
have nubby cranks, and steel heavier frames. The 05 KH's have aluminum
frames, and are much lighter. The hubs are probably the best overall
hub on the market.

IMHO the 04s are stronger by a noticeable amount. But you won't need the
extra strength unless you are fat like myself and Harper. The 05's are
noticeably lighter. I don't really buy into the whole stronger crank
interface thing, but thats probably because I maintain my unicycles
pretty well so they don't creak and I have never had an issue with the
interface.

Edit: Oh and I like the 2 bolt system on the old cranks better than any
of the hubs with a single bolt.

Hear Hear!

I agreee completely with everything you said...if you stay on top of
maintenance the Uni will last longer and creak less. I love my Old
School KH

I've got a 2004, 2005 and 2007.
In Canada, the 2004 has a cheezy hub, & cheep pedals. Its a great
value, but wont last you long.
I liked the 2005 cranks Q factor, except they are hollow and bend on
big drops.

2007 has the best seat, and strongest cranks. The Q factor is less,
but they're solid.
If you're doing more street than trials, get the 2005 and replace the
seat if/when you care.

Was it the early batch of 2005 cranks that were too thin and being bent
off tiny drops? If so, my friend Phil had those and bent them doing a
rolling hop up a 4 set, he also ripped his seat right off the base on
the same jump.

Usually I would remember exactly, but its 3am and i'm not entirely all
here.
