FLUCK takes a KH frame.

[Jerrick]

Just browsing through the 2007 FLUCK pictures, and found one where the
frame is held behind the guys back, and the post looks way off, go to
the next picture and yep, the frame has 'snapped in two'
(http://tinyurl.com/3db2k9).

Just thought youd guys would like to know about this, and I couldn't
find the other thread discussing broken KH frames. =p

That's the old black one, isn't it? I saw that one. Apparently, the guy
who did it breaks everything. Don't remember who it was, though.

According to my brother, the guy was hopping on the wheel and then
dropping down 5 pallets (landing on the wheel), landing with the
unicycle like \ that, he probably did it a few times before so not that
odd that it snapped.

Oooh, I didn't see that one! That's mean!

I did see the black KH frame with one leg broken off the top. This one
looks worse, though!

I wonder if he'll get a replacement for it.

If he jumped down like Dustin said, I dont think he will get a
replacement. That would be the same if you run over your uni by car and
ask for replacement.

I saw it when it happened. He -was- doing a hop on wheel drop, and he
was putting a lot of pressure against the wheel while pulling on the
frame....


It popped right off when he landed, and he sat down hard with the uni
in his lap. The expression on his face was hillarous.

haha
it seems like the wheel would be bent.
my 2007 torker frame definitely stood up to more pressure than he
possibly could have put on it doing a drop like that.
i munched it while doing a big gap, full speed, landed with one foot
behind the seat, one foot on the frame, still going full speed, i was
just about horizontal, somehow fell right there, uni went
skidding/bouncing/flipping about 20 feet.

on second thought, i still like my kH better, it is like 10 lbs lighter
than my DX frame.

Just out of curiosity I walked around FLUCK doing a tally of Unicycles.
this is what I found:

A little over 50% of the Unis were KH.
Almost 40% of the Unis were K1.
The rest were Qu Ax and other brands.

The way I tallied is that I walked around for 15 minutes tallying up
every uni that I saw. My results seem pretty close to the KH K1
Shameless post on this site.

That sucks, but it's really pretty trivial to fix. I've repaired two
broken KH frames. The first one was like that, and it was just
sandblast or power sand the paint off, weld, and file smooth. The
second one was done entirely with a file. It can take as little as
60-90 minutes from getting the frame in the shop.
