    HEY PEOPLE! i finally went shopping and i decided to get a kh 20"
    trials. first of all congratulate me. im so excited to finally move out
    of my "torker lx" stage. secondly should i make any changes to it
    besides the paint? i.e. are the cranks to long/short for trials? are the
    pedals [censored]? does the tire kick harder than a one legged ninja? and
    thirdly of all, does anyone know where i could get my frame repainted in
    anchorage alaska? im thinkin of goin with green but i need to find a
    place that will paint it first, can i get it painted at an automotive
    paint place or will i have to ship it somewhere to get it painted?

    thanks for all your help guys and gals

    peace out brown trout.

    First, Congratulations.
    Second, where did you buy it?
    Third... Try powder coating... it will be more durable than regular
    painting.

    Depending on where you bought it they may be able to arrange powder
    coating before shipping it. You can also look for local shops in
    Anchorage, I would think that there would be at least one powder coater
    there, since I am sure there is a lot of wear and tear on stuff from the
    harsh weather conditions.

    Expect to pay $25 to $35 for powdercoating if they are using left over
    powder from a previous job. This would include sand blasting the frame.
    Also be careful with the medium they use to do the blasting since it is
    an aluminum frame. Baking soda would be good, but I am sure that the
    powder coater would be familiar with the best medium. If you choose to
    go with a color they don't have laying around(which could be several
    hundred choices if they are like my local powder coater) expect to pay
    over $70.

    Try and get the crank replaced.The one crank will always cause the pedal
    to loosen.

    Two right cranks? Where'd you buy it, unicycle.com?

    Why change anything if you want to do trials?... Its already set up
    for... trials......

    Congratulations too, you made a good choice.
