Which new hub?

well k1 is about half as expensive, and it would probably tame a 300
pound person to bend them unless you have super crappy form. kh is a
little overrated i think.

i vote koxx-one

I am looking for a new crankset for my trials uni and dont know if i
should buy the Koxx Isis hub and cranks or the KH/Onza hub and crank
set.

I have been told that the KH/Onza is stronger than the K1 and has an
ammount of Q factor and he K1 isnt as strong but has no Q factor.

Can anybody help me with deciding which hub/crank set to buy?

Dom

They're both great cranksets... Perhaps the KH / Onza is slightly
stronger, but you're going to have trouble breaking either! Strength
isn't an issue.

The K1 cranks have very little Q factor (distance from the pedal to the
frame) which makes them give you a very smooth ride. It also helps (I
feel) with getting speed on rolling hops.

THEY'RE MORE SUITED FOR STREET RIDING.

The KH / Onza Cranks have Q-a-plenty so you'll get the extra help with
riding skinnies and on pedal grabs.

*They're more suited for technical trials.

*Neither are better, it's just down to preference and what style of
riding you're after.

My advice is that if you're strapped for cash (and you want 125mm) then
go for the Koxx-One Cranks. They're nice, smooth and are £25 cheeper
than the KH/Onza cranks.

AND, almost no-one in the US has them!!!

-Hope this helps,
AndyC.

the only thing I find with the KI is that they are very steep on the top
for doing seat drops and wraps, while the KH ones are nice and have a
rounded flat top to them. also because the KH are angled out, theres
less chance for your feet to hit the spokes.

That's never happened to me (I have K1 cranks).

Q-factor is *not* the distance from the pedal to the frame. It's the
distance between the pedals, including the hub width.

thanks for the help guys. It looks like i will buy the K1 because there
are cheaper than the KH and most of you guys seem to like them.

Miles - So far i have never hit my feet on the spokes and my cranks are
fairly close to them atm but thanks for the warning 😄

Wait up! I do know somebody that broke their K1 cranks. He is ntappin on
these forums, so you should be able to find him. I believe that because
it is the international spline system (or whatever ISIS stands for),
you can get new cranks from almost anywhere, though.

Thats brilliant Eroick, can you name one other manufacturer of isis
splined unicycle cranks other than Koxx???

Bicycle cranks are rarely come in the shorter lengths necessary for
unicycles and often have cogs on the right-hand crank.

If all splined unicycle manufacturers were to adopt the Isis splined
system that will be great, as we will be able to select whichever
cranks we like. Till then the Koxx Isis cranks are yet another splined
system incompatible with all the other unicycle splined systems

if you're doing muni you can nearly always find 170s in ISIS from a
variety of manufacturers. shorter than that and you might be in
trouble. i know redline makes a 165mm cranks set ISIS for children's
mtn bikes. don't know how hard it is to find though.

Surely, somewhere, KH, Koxx, Profile, Onza and Qu ax cranks have been
bent and broken.

Maxisback -It's nearly cheeper to buy a new unicycle than get Profiles
in the UK. I know people have said this to you before. And improve your
spelling and grammar!
