Danny Kearns Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey, Just brought a Profile wheel. Its a profile hub on one of the old un-drilled Kris Holm rims. Now, im gonna' be needing change the rim on it cause it's abit battered. So, I was wondering if the spoke lengths will be ok on the new 2007 Drilled Kris Holm rim ?Danny.

Muel Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Should be Danny, the ERD shouldn't be much different, and spokes don't have to be "exact"If the spokes are the right legnth already, so that the top of the spoke is in line with the bottom of the slot in the nipple head, then it will be fine. You can always cheat if the ERD is a little smaller by putting a washer under the head of each nipple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The ERD of the old Kris Holm rims is 366, which is the same as Koxx rims. As long as the ERD of the new ones is 366 you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Are they coming in 32hole this year? i thought they only did 36h, they arnt a trials rim there for the one wheeled type arnt they so im guessing unless they have started to use 32h hubs now that they will still only be in 36h Edited February 29, 2008 by basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Unicycle rims don't come in 32h... ever.The 07 KH rims are OK... just Try-All rims with eyelets. Quite a few smashed in uni trials already...I recommend you get the Try-All REINFORCED STREET rim... basically take a normal try-all rim... and make the following changes: Eyeletted, undrilled. Yep, and it's still 48mm wide and arguably the best rim out. Alternatively, just imagine the 05/06 Kris Holm rim but wider..Good stuff.

Muel Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I have had 2 Try-All rims, the grinds I have had on them have been fine, lasted ages etc, but I could never get them heavy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 People who don't know... shouldn't talk out of their asses so freely. Keep it to yourself.Try-All rims have been improved subtly in recent years... (yep, the alloy was upgraded from 6061 to 7005 at some point). The Reinforced street rims are 7005 as well therefore.Uniycyclists don't grind rims, because we don't need brakes... we have fixed wheels so our feet are our brakes essentially. The only times you see a brake (HS33 mainly) on a unicycle is for long-distance or mountain riders because sometimes steep hilly/muddy/rocky descents and super high speed are too much for just your legs and feet to control the wheel's braking... so a magura helps there. Trials, you don't need brakes at all whatsoever, on a unicycle.the Kris Holm rims are also 7005 alu, so grinds should be fine on them too.

Bionic Balls Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 would having a brake help though? kris holm used his loads in evolve...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 would having a brake help though? kris holm used his loads in evolve...?Not at all for trials. Kris only had a brake on his uni in evolve because that was his big mountain uni (24" or 26", i can't remember). It was a multi-purpose uni for him, not ideal for trials, but worked OKish... Evolve doesn't really justify unicycle ability much. But yes, he had the HS33 on because he does mountain riding on that same uni as well. He never actually uses the brake for trials itself. It's ALLLL in the feet control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
