  1. I have a problem. I am faced with choosing to get a kh geared hub or go
    to Moab Muni Fest. One or the other. Its a touphy. What do you think? I
    wish Kris would get these hubs out so I could see one. I have been to
    Moab before, and it was really fun, but a geared hub would be heaven.
    Which would you pick?

  2. I've got a geared hub. I ride muni on it. I'd go to Moab and wait to get
    a geared hub.

    That way, by the time you've got the money together again, the hub will
    actually exist, and also it'll have had any issues that people find
    with it sorted out.

    Geared hubs are nice if you do super long rides with big road sections
    in them, or if you commute to work a way that has both muni and road on
    it.

    Other than that, most of the time on muni rides it'd be just as good to
    just have a standard muni, maybe a 26 or 29 if you want to go fast.

  4. This thread suggests that a geared hub is in the same price-range as a
    trip to a muni fest. What price range is that? I can't find a geard hub
    on unicycle.com. How much does it cost?

    Is it splined? Can you do trials with it?

  5. Pragmatically, the KH Geared Hub doesn't exist (yet), but Moab does.
    Moab will be there every year, as long as Rolf organizes our little
    shindigs there. Once the KH Geared Hub is on the market, it will be
    there every day unless they sell out.

    Schlumpf geared hub is available now. It's not splined, and designed
    for road use or light muni, definately not for trials.

    It costs 750UKP, which is about $1500 for this hub.

    The KH geared hub is not available yet, but is built onthe same
    technology, except with splines, strength improvements and a better way
    of attaching to the frame. No-one knows how much, but it'd be
    surprising if it comes in under$1500 could be even $2000.
