New KH Hub, defective??

How do you know it isn't one of the cranks?



That was exactly my thought. Now I am very worried, because I want to
see if my hub and cranks are correctly lined up. I just bought my KH
less than a month ago, and might have the same problems.

BTW. Anyone knows what direction I should spin the allen key to take
off my KH Moments? Clock or Counter Clock? Thanks in advance.

It's very hard to gauge when the hub is already built into a wheel. My
cranks are jammed in there very tight also. I am going to need crank
pullers for this.

Do you guys think that two levels (one on each crank) will show if my
hub/cranks are off? If so, I am going to home depot tomorrow. Or do I
have to break it down to see?

Sorry for the thread jack.

A friend got a KH24 within the last month and he has the same problem.
He tried a different set of cranks and had the same offset. Looks like
it is the hub in his case and I would guess yours as well. He got his
from a bicycle dealer but not sure which one.

The levels would only work if the surfaces of the crank arms were flat.
but if they're curved a little bit so it'd be impossible to tell.

Is there any more news from KHU or a unicycle dealer yet?

Make sure that you assembled them on the correct spline.

For a 10 spline system, it would have to be way more angled to be on
the wrong spline.

These aren't Profiles.

Thanks for all the ideas on this. I took someones advice in this thread
and e-mailed Kris Holm about this problem and attached the photos.
His reply:

"Bryce, Thanks for the note; sorry to hear that you had this problem.
Iagree- it looks like the the splines were machined slightly out
ofalignment. That is the first time I've seen that problem. Please
return this hub to Darren for replacement. Kris"

So it looks like problem solved and hopefully this was just a bad unit,
not one of a bad batch. . . . tho I think I'll ask Darren to check the
new hub before he sends it to me.
