Coker Muni
It's totally possible to ride fairly technical single tracks on the Coker but the limiting factor is gear--unless there's gear I haven't heard of. I slapped some Black Widow 175's on and bent them (slightly) on a measly two foot drop. Rolling hops (drops) seem to be are okay. But I'm not much of a Coker dude so far as knowledge and experience goes--maybe there's some way to string a Airfoil rim to a Profile hub or something since the other hubs are garbage--like tin. Don't know what the outter envelop is here but I reckon to find out tomorrow with the OC crew.

I smell a California Coker MUni Weekend I will start saving extra wheel sets now. Coker MUni is extremely addicting as well as the best ride and most fun you can have on one wheel.

Hit up Scott Wallis. He's running a Dave Stockton wheelset on his Coker on our local trails and isn't pussy-footing around with it either. I don't know what cranks he's got on it though. -- Trapper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trapper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10341 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54586 |

Don't know what the outter envelop is here but I reckon to find out tomorrow with the OC crew. JL I'm using the 'PDC modified Kooka cranks' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51014) with my Coker now. They're drilled for 130, 150, 170. The Kooka cranks are strong. If you can find some, get them. The Black Widows aren't that strong for more aggressive muni riding. An inexpensive alternative would be Sugino tandem cranks. They are available in 170 or 175. The captain's right crank on a tandem has no spider. So you get a RH captain's crank and pair it with a matching LH normal crank. You can get the Sugino cranks from any bike shop that has the QBC catalog. Price is $15-$20 for each crank (so $30-$40 for the pair). 'Alfred E. Bike' (http://aebike.com/index.cfm) has them in their online catalog (search the catalog for "tandem"). They're better than the Black Widow's, but still not the strongest cranks around. The problem with a Profile hub is that the hub is too narrow. The wheel build will not be very strong. You need a wide hub. The other problem will be keeping the wheel true. I regularly knock my Coker wheel out of true doing XC muni with it. It will go out of true and rub the brake. A Stockton wheel build would do better (mine is a local wheel build). But the big wheel can only take so much before it will go out of true. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Dirty Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54586 |

It would be great if Kris Holm would make a wide hub version of his new moment hubs for cokers. I wonder what his minimum number of hubs whould be for it to be cost efective. -- Tellurider ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tellurider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4972 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54586 |

Which would open him up to demands for more crank lengths. He can't win. Give us something and we want more. A wide Moment hub with a suitable selection of crank sizes would be most excellent. Then we'll need suitable frames that fit the 42mm bearing size. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Dirty Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54586 |

He does indeed have profiles, but I think it's on the steel rim. phlegm wrote: If I remember correctly, 'Trevor' (http://www.tlb.org/) has an Airfoil laced to a Profile hub. -- mscalisi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mscalisi's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4961 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/54586 |
