KH 20 --- Warranty?

You broke the Torker DX hub in a matter of weeks? What the heck were you
doing on it?

I have no clue, not escpecially large stuff. I think the biggest was a 6
set, which shouldn't have affected it at all. Although I frequent that
particular stair set and a ledge next to it.... still. maybe I got a
lemon or something? anyways, my LBS is working something out with
seattle bike.

Good because you would be like only the third person to ruin that
hub/crank setup. I would say you got a lemon.

Word of mouth is that failures are very rare. There isn't a specific
time warranty as far as I know. If you did have a defective part, that
would be odd, and I bet you would be given a new one. I have read of
people getting new torker frames like that.
So much depends on the rider though. A really large and/or
aggressive rider would break anything eventually. So some people just
except that they must buy a new seat post or part once in a while. This
isn't really a quality control issue, people want light parts. They
wouldn't buy a truly unbreakable uni, that had 20+ lbs. of metal on it.
All wheel sports have this balance between strength and lightness.
Pro factory motocross bikes have the frame replaced every 6 races, even
if they haven't crashed and show no sign of damage. Most frames would
go way more then 6 races without breaking. But the teams aren't happy
just finishing most races!😉

I got a DX a few weeks ago and already bent the hub, and my dad really
supports unicycling and is thinking about a KH 20 for me, but hes
somehow paranoid about breaking a part right away and wants to know
about a warranty... is there some sort of one?

thanks!

unless you got a defective hub which is rare (i have never heard of it)
and your biggest set was a 6 it means your style sucks. no offense.
or you weigh a lot. and you might think about working on improving
your style before upgrading.

hmm
thats really odd. mine didn't get messed up very bad, it is still very
rideable. it has some really annoying keyway slop and a slight bend.
that is after repeated 9 sets 10 sets, repeated 8ish foot drops, and
lots of gaps w/ big drops. I don't let my equipment hold me back. thats
the main reason it breaks.
cody williams broke his the same way. he took his off many many 9 foot
drops (and a few bigger) before it broke.

do me a favor and swap out the pedals if you can't see the bend. take
some pictures too. some pedal spindles bend EXTREMELY easily and it can
make you think that it is the hub.

KH has a 90 day warranty I believe. he is a cool guy, if you break
something major on the uni (the seat stiffener does not count!) then he
will more than likely replace it for shipping cost if that. if you are
getting a kh have no worries you won't mess it up.

well if he rolls out I think the hub suffers the same amount of stress
as if he diden't.

Yeah it's called keeping the bikes "Fresh" and there is a lot more
stupid things they do to the bikes to keep them fresh other than the
switching out the chassis. But that's cool you know something about
mx!🙂

so rolling out is the on;y way to improve his style? no.
compressing his legs. dropping his back towards the ground.
by doing these things he increases the impact time reducing the force
through applying it over a larger period of time

Ok, update: it IS defective. The axel is somehow rotating inside the
hub, which makes the cranks pop and slip, but both do at the same time
in the same direction, making it obvious they are secure on the
splines... anyways, I'm supposed to bring it in on friday.

thanks for all the help!

so get this: Seattle Bike is replacing my entire wheelset. why the
whole wheelset in not really something I should be asking questions
about. :p This means I get to once again cover my local funbox in red
paint! *laughs evilly*

Yeah my ordeal with the *ahem* law enforcement officer has to be the
first thing a cop has said to me besides "you cant skate here" or
similar phrases. people don't care where and when you unicycle because
it still has its "whoa! a Unicycle!" value, unlike all the negative
comments skating gets. The other day I was grinding some benches at a
local park and this nice old lady gave me a sermon about how bad
skateboards tear up the benches, while she didn't even mention the
garish wounds the bench had suffered from the evil of my pinned pedals.
I felt bad afterward. at least untill I looked around and realized
there were 50 others benches, and just this metal-edged one was getting
grinded

Hey,

KHU has a common sense warranty. That means that if something fails
due to a manufacturing defect, it will be repaired or replaced (usually
replaced). If it fails due to longterm use or huge abuse, then that's
not covered. This policy seems to work OK because I have a good idea
from my own experience what the unis and components can take, and it's
a balance between making a uni that's strong yet recognizing that
nothing is completely indestructible.

Cheers,

Kris

nah, they won't let you keep the old one. no way, no how. they have to
make sure that its actually broken and find a way to make it never
happen again. I really want to see some newer innovation(no copying)
out of Torker, i know they make some higher end bikes and i want to see
that in their unicycles.
