  1. So... I have had this CyclePro (aka [censored]) unicycle lying around my
    house for some time now. I learned to ride many years back and have
    recently...year and a half...taken back up riding. I ride mainly MUNI (
    hardcore style ) and am working on my flatland. So anyways back to the
    story. This unicycle has been great. I have already upgraded the
    tire+tube and switched the pedals for some stomper Wellgo's ( that
    really hurt without 661's(have the scars to prove it)). I have noticed
    that the crank on the uni has come loose and have tried desperatly to
    reattach it. I have put on new bolts and all and tried to gorilla glue
    the whole damn thing but nothing is working...there is still some play.
    I was wondering about switching crank/hub/rim/2.5in tire...but unsure
    about the pre-drilled hub the uni came with.

    Essentially it is a bolt in hub that is attached to the uni through two
    bolts. It looks like the spacers and the bearings are completly
    inclosed in this single peice that bolts onto the main uni frame. Is
    there any hub out there that bolts into the frame but has the clamp
    style beaing encasing. If so i need one...Eventually my KH will come
    and i was wondering if this would be my exclusive trials uni...can it
    be salvaged?

  2. that type of frame is what's known as lollipop style, because it has a
    bearing holder shaped like a lollipop. I'd recommend getting something
    else, because lollipops tend to be easily broken.

  3. can lollipop styles come in clamps that would fit KH hubs+cranks plus a
    new mavic rim and wildlife tire?

  4. I've never seen one that fits 42mm bearings which is what the KH uses,
    most (if not all) lollipops are 40mm and not 42
