Splined Coker?

trials_uni · 2006-05-24T02:34:28+00:00

This may sound really stupid, but has anyone ever done it? In My opinion it would be more of a novelty item that really to have any use...Most* Cokering is done on roads or marked paths. But it sure would be neat. The only thing ive ever seen come close is, I think it was Dave Stockton? And his indestructable Coker.(Correct me if im wrong) Another thing I had thought about was, has KHU ever designed or had an idea to produce a Coker? I kno theres the KH/Shlumph(sp?) G-Uni but i think a KH Coker might be neat, Alu. Frame, Airfoil rim, it would be pretty light and probly right speedy in the hands of a pro. Anyways, post your thoughts, discuss. -Phil *i do realize that there are indeed a selct few with the b*lls to do coker muni. -- trials_uni TRIALS 4 LIFE ! <>UNICYCLING FOR MYSLELF<>< 'Check Out The Newbie Guide' (http://tinyurl.com/99yez) I'm too hardcore to type.

the airfoil weighs 2 pounds? lol ok maybe he doesnt need to upgrade the
rim then. I think someone should design a knobby coker tire though.

Well UDC says that the Airfoil rim is "2lbs, 12.2 ounces".
And what wrong with this knobby coker tire?

A splined Coker would be cool, but most of the splined hubs are either
too heavy or else lack the choice of crank lengths.
The Kh/Onza would make a nice Coker hub- but the shortest cranks are
125mm- you'd need 110's and 102's as well for everyday riding and flat
riding respectively.
I think the KOXX hubs have more crank lengths available but ?slightly
heavier.

also the koxx cranks are ISIS splined, giving you a much greater
selection of cranks, especially at longer sizes.

I have been riding a splined Coker for about a year now and I like it a
lot. I wanted to be able to switch crank sizes while on a ride without
the worry of hub damage so I put my old HK24 hub on my airfoil rim. I
offen ride on the road with the 140s then switch to the 170 and MUni
Coker on the trail, I only wish that I had shorter cranks for the road.
I think the ISIS hub would be a better choice with chranks sizes form
110mm to 160mm.

Muddycycle, are you aware that Qu-Ax make 125mm cranks to fit the old KH
hub? Just thought that might be of interest to you.

Are any of the splined hubs wide enough to make a strong wheel? The
extra wide UDC hubs and the widened Suzue hubs the Dave Stockton uses
are a good bit wider than even the KH/Onza, which is the widest splined
hub.

How are those adjustable Kookas working for you? What unicycle are you
using them on? I've been very happy with mine.
