Rims

A Kris Holm Freeride rim should do you about 30 bones damage. Thats
really very cheap.

The KH is out of stock at uni.com. I'll see if Bedford has any. Thanks
for your help.

Just so you know the new KH rims seem to be having some problems. Up in
toronto Bedford had 2 or 3 where the sidewall on the rim had failed (all
were on 19" rims). I believe that there was someone else who did a drop
and blew out the sidewall of one of these rims as well.

Not to say anything bad about kris' products but they are a first gen.
product at this point and you have been warned.

Cheers

There is no reason for any concern over these rim failures, since all
the rims with this particualar defect have been shipped to taiwan to be
replaced, and if you buy a rim from now on, it won't have that problem.
I think the KH rims are better than the DX-32 since they don't seem to
go out of round (flat spots) as easily.

I bust my KH 24" rim last week. Same thing, the sidewall went along the
braking groove. I think I might go for a different replacement rim
perhaps the alex...All I need now is some money.🙁

Really? Obie exercised 1.5 day restraint.
I noticed it was a poem but not that it was a haiku.

I'm on my first ever trials uni, with a DX-32. What does "go out of
round" mean?

I've heard the people talk about getting flatspots on skateboard
wheels...but in terms of a rim, how long and how much abuse would I have
to put on my rim to notice this? I haven't had/ridden on it six months
yet (and I'm more concerned with ups, because drops aren't as technical
around here). Is this something that can be fixed or prevented with
radial truing, and/or crank rotation every so many rides?

I figure I should know these things as my skills increase, because I've
not given much thought to unicycle maintenance yet🙁
