Coker Radius, tire width and brake question
I'm going to build up a 36er with the new KH/Schlumpf hub and the triton frame. Dmitry needs the coker radius...does anyone know offhand the radius? Would it be many different with the new Nightrider tire (at 65 psi) and rim? The tire width is still 2.3, correct? Finally, the issue of brake bosses. In general, I am anti-brake. I've never felt a need for a brake running 125s on my Coker as fast as I can. I am also thinking the same about the guni, but is that foolish? Are there any other anti-brake people that moved to GUNi and changed their perspective? Thanks for your input. -- osmundo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ osmundo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13723 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68507 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Coker Radius, tire width and brake question
i believe the wheel radius is approx 18 1/4 inches, of course it varies depending on tyre wear and which batch of tyrs you've got. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68507 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Coker Radius, tire width and brake question
The tire may say 2.3" but it does not mean much to me. I have seen 2.3 tires that had different physical size  What I want is the center of the axle to TOP of the tire measurement. And the actual tyre width in its widest. In mm I want the frame fit the actual tire, not some virtual one. -- gazza *Triton Bikes* Custom Titanium bikes and unicycles handmade in Russia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gazza's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15987 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68507 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Watching with interest I'm going to order one when I get back home from Uninam. Are you using ISIS hubs?

Coker Radius, tire width and brake question
The best way is to build your wheel first, then take measurements yourself as directed by the frame maker. Even better, give the frame maker the wheel to measure himself.

Coker Radius, tire width and brake question
I haven't actually received the wheel set yet. I snagged the last KH/Schumpf UDC had in stock, but they are out of 14 gauge spokes, so the wheel build will take a while... Again, the goal is the KH Guni, (ISIS geared hub) with the new Nimbus rim and tire. (and then to somehow salvage my marriage when she finds out how much I am spending)  Anyone have the new Nimbus tire/rim that they could measure the actual width? Thanks -- osmundo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ osmundo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13723 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/68507 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I have brakes on my Schlumpf, without it it is not so good on the downhills in high gear, as it's too easy to get out of control.
