All I can say is, about fucking time. I can’t count how many jammed, sprained, and borken fingers I’ve encountered from that stupid slot in the handles. This is something that riders have been asking for, for years. Seems so simple, but damn it took a while.

Thanks Kris,

Its here…. Head over to Kris Holm Unicycles to read more.

Incase there are any of you out there that have not picked up a set of these for your KH Moment cranks… I’ma throw a little info at you.

At first there its quite obvious that you have added a bulk of extra material to the nub of your crank, It certainly can be felt rubbing your shoe, getting caught on low tops, and such. Though after a few minutes of riding and a slight adjustment to your stance… the Rollo’s loud entrance fades into the background.

These are MUST HAVE for anyone that rides with Moments and is even remotely into flatland. The rollos extend the standing room on the crank to almost double its size.

On of the first differences in ridding ability that I noticed, what the amount of time I was about to stay stalled standing one footed on just one crank. The amount of stability that is gained from the rollos is quite impressive.

I really love tubular CrMO cranks, so I am a hard sell, however I really do believe that the Rollos make Moment cranks one hell of a ride. There is just no way tubies are gonna compete with that standing room and stability. I must also mention that many of riders have strength issues with tubular cranks… Somewhere Moments do not fail.

Also keep in mind these are an easy on easy off part, customized to fit your ride.

If you have signed up, then you have most likely gotten an email from KHU. If you have not signed up well get your ass over to the site.

Go enter your photos that truly “capture the moment” and win some cool stuff.

-Stronger KH frames: Sidewall thickness on the horizontal crown tube has been increased by 30% for improved strength without a noticeable weight change.

-Stronger fixed (bolt-on) seatpost: This seatpost is now bonded and double pin reinforced to resist twisting (no welds), with a very nice looking polished aluminum forged top piece.

-Stronger adjustable seatpost: Also now double pin reinforced to better resist twisting.

-Slightly lighter Moment cranks: All cranks have a slightly wider and deeper back cutaway that slightly reduces weight by 50-70g (depending on crank length) while still keeping them super strong for aggressive riding. Kelly Hickman tested these in 137 mm length for 5 months before they went into production.

-Improved Moment Hub Flanges: The spoke hole diameter has been reduced to 2.5 mm with a 0.5 mm bevel, to better fit 14g spokes.

-New rim tape color options are available for KH rims: Blue, black, red, white, and yellow.

-Two new Fusion Saddle color options: White and bright green

-New Adrien Delecroix Signature Flash Deluxe Saddle Cover: (shipped only to UDC Germany). This is a custom pro-model cover design by Adrien Delecroix in partnership with municycle.com and Team UTV. It is spec’d standard with the Flash Deluxe KH20.

-Improved Fusion Street saddle with slimmer foam and new center cutaway: The foam is slimmer to make it easier to grab. The new cutaway also makes it easier to grab because you can curl your thumb around the foam into the groove.

-New KH bearing mount for truing stand: This very simple piece is the bottom half of 42 mm bearing housings welded to a small plate that clamps to the top of a standard wheel truing stand (e.g. Park Tools Professional truing stand). It enables hubs with 42 mm bearings to seat directly into the top of the stand, for easier building. Local bikeshops will really appreciate this gadget when confronted with the new challenge of building a unicycle wheel.

-Stronger Rollo Disk: The bottom shelf of the countersink for the axle bolt has been thickened to improve strength when the bolt is tightened.

It’s been fun to see all these changes through to production and I hope you like it!

Always nice to see the improvements from KHU. …but when are we gonna get handles without the hole???
