Good point. None of the prototypes have broken in about 6 months of testing, and it is machined one piece. However, nothing is indestructible!

I did some hardcore pedalgrabs with the prototypes, and it still ok... Looks new! Only a REALLY strong pedal grab, like a 1,5m drop to crank would break it, and ONLY if the rollo touch first the surface, what is really hard to do... -- pedrotejada '*Kris Holm Unicycles*' (http://www.krisholm.com) *Brazilian Unicycling Team* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pedrotejada's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14471 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The disk contains an insert section that slides into the crank to support lateral force when standing on it; again lots of metal for flat riding. If you keep the Rollo disk on the cranks and hit it hard during a big grind, you could break it. It's in a pretty vulnerable place. But of course, the point of the disk is to take cranks that are good street and trials cranks and turn them into good flatland cranks. If you are going to try something that might really smash it, just take it off. thanks kris! that answered my questions. i'll order some as soon as udc has the appropriate bolts! -- OneWheelLess Seriously, the other wheel just fell off one day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OneWheelLess's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16793 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

People with the Ti hubs should already have them. I have the long bolts on my Ti hub and the short bolts on my 07 hub. -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

You can also ask your LBS for some longer... It doesn't cost more than 10 bucks, and you'll be able to ride it! Just find some GOOD quality bolts...Maybe Ti bolts... ISIS bolts are also avaliable on Ebay! -- pedrotejada '*Kris Holm Unicycles*' (http://www.krisholm.com) *Brazilian Unicycling Team* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pedrotejada's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14471 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The reason the prototypes were fine is because the bolts were modified so the head of the bolt was smaller and could fit inside the disk inside the crank itself, so it could get closer to the hub. -- Spencer Hochberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I think so, when I was talking to Kris he said he didn't think longer bolts existed (there would be no reason for ISIS bolts that long to exist). Since Kris said he got bolts made in Taiwan, I think it's safe to say he couldn't get them from somewhere else. -- Spencer Hochberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spencer Hochberg's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

danger_uni;1146633 wrote: Hi All, Extra-long axle bolts have been ordered in Taiwan at 25 mm length (the current axle bolts are 18 mm). As soon as their made, I'll air-ship bolts to all the importers who currently have Rollo disks; they can send them on to everyone who already bought them and are waiting on the bolts. That should take about a month. Starting next Spring, all Nimbus and KH ISIS hubs will come standard with the longer bolts so will all be compatible with the Rollo disks. Thanks for your patience!

Not to sound impacient, but when are they going to be available in the US? Ive been watching unicycle.com and its been out of stock for a while so I'm assuming that it was because of those small flaws in them and they had to be held for a bit longer but I'm not sure if that is still going on or theyre just out of stock. If they are available from anywhere else could someone direct me where please? (I'll be out of town for the next 3 days or so for a snowboarding trip, so I wont be able to respond until then). -- streetcycalist Unicycling is great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ streetcycalist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18396 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74648 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
