  1. Just browsing through the 2007 FLUCK pictures, and found one where the
    frame is held behind the guys back, and the post looks way off, go to
    the next picture and yep, the frame has 'snapped in two'
    (http://tinyurl.com/3db2k9).

    Just thought youd guys would like to know about this, and I couldn't
    find the other thread discussing broken KH frames. =p

  2. That's the old black one, isn't it? I saw that one. Apparently, the guy
    who did it breaks everything. Don't remember who it was, though.

  3. According to my brother, the guy was hopping on the wheel and then
    dropping down 5 pallets (landing on the wheel), landing with the
    unicycle like \ that, he probably did it a few times before so not that
    odd that it snapped.

  7. Oooh, I didn't see that one! That's mean!

    I did see the black KH frame with one leg broken off the top. This one
    looks worse, though!

    I wonder if he'll get a replacement for it.

  8. If he jumped down like Dustin said, I dont think he will get a
    replacement. That would be the same if you run over your uni by car and
    ask for replacement.

  10. I saw it when it happened. He -was- doing a hop on wheel drop, and he
    was putting a lot of pressure against the wheel while pulling on the
    frame....

    It popped right off when he landed, and he sat down hard with the uni
    in his lap. The expression on his face was hillarous.

  12. haha
    it seems like the wheel would be bent.
    my 2007 torker frame definitely stood up to more pressure than he
    possibly could have put on it doing a drop like that.
    i munched it while doing a big gap, full speed, landed with one foot
    behind the seat, one foot on the frame, still going full speed, i was
    just about horizontal, somehow fell right there, uni went
    skidding/bouncing/flipping about 20 feet.

    on second thought, i still like my kH better, it is like 10 lbs lighter
    than my DX frame.

  13. Just out of curiosity I walked around FLUCK doing a tally of Unicycles.
    this is what I found:

    A little over 50% of the Unis were KH.
    Almost 40% of the Unis were K1.
    The rest were Qu Ax and other brands.

    The way I tallied is that I walked around for 15 minutes tallying up
    every uni that I saw. My results seem pretty close to the KH K1
    Shameless post on this site.

  14. That sucks, but it's really pretty trivial to fix. I've repaired two
    broken KH frames. The first one was like that, and it was just
    sandblast or power sand the paint off, weld, and file smooth. The
    second one was done entirely with a file. It can take as little as
    60-90 minutes from getting the frame in the shop.
