effective. Nobody serious is...

creating my ultimate unicycle- advice please!
I know that the Schlumpf/KH hub *HAS* to go into a frame with machined
42mm bearing holders. This has to do with the lack of the torsion arm
that was on the original geared hubs. Someone with more...

Nightrider Ti Is there a proper tread direction?
Josh from UDC told me that you want to have the curves to the back,
since the water should be pushed out the back. Not sure if it actually
makes a difference though, I highly doubt it would until...

Shipping a 36er from Canada To The U.S.
When stuff is shipped across the border, in either direction, it has to

Hey Eric! I'll take you riding in Ottawa for sure, and we can probably

It's worth adding that after I did this, I realized that my pump was

Ken, of course I knew you did tubeless in the past. Where did you think

When the tube gets pinched between the rim and something hard and sharp,

Thats a lot of drilling). However the weight savings are...

Hey, I've done a tubeless setup with my new Nightrider tire on the

DH Muni in clipin pedals
Hmm, it just seems scary to me. When you fall on a uni, it's usually off
the front or back. If you couldn't unclip, the uni would be attached,
and you couldn't use your feet to run out. Seems scary!...

makes holding the brake far more natural. Another great KH...
