  1. g'day,

    i am interested in buying a new trials uni, cos my non-splined cranks
    are bending every time i do any serious riding.

    i live in australia and am considering the GP trials from
    unicycles.com.au does anyone know how this compares to the KH, as they
    are the same price.

    at what point will the kh/onza cranks bend? Has anyone here bent them?
    would it be worth getting profiles?

    thanks for your help,

    Max

  4. I think its like theroetically impossible to break profiles, and good
    splined axles like the KH/onza. The cranks can bend and maybe evauntally
    break, but its highly unlikely (from what I've heard).

    They should hold 10+ easilly, provided you land properly, etc. and
    depending on your weight. Im sure people have done much higher.

  5. hey max,
    good so see more Aussies riding hard!
    i've got profiles...... well had. They are currently getting replaced.
    Mine bent after some pretty big drops 1.5m+ onto various surfaces. If
    you can afford them get them. The GP unicycles are good, and the service
    from Brisbane is excellent. Email the guys and ask how much it would
    cost to get the GP but with profiles- they'll probably make one up for
    you for little (or no) cost.

  9. "Q factor" is the name for the distance from the center of your wheel to
    where your foot goes. Some cranks (Profiles, Doteks, new KH's) angle
    out, increasing Q factor while others (Old KH) do not. Other factors can
    affect Q factor, like hub width and pedal spindle length.
