Kris Holm Moments

[shermanator94]

:confused:has anyone actually broken their Kris Holm Moment cranks?

[Emile.m]

no. They are unbrakable!

Apart from the pedal insert that may get loose with time (after more than one year of riding) but you can tighen it up.

[unicycler100]

To me KH Moments are the best cranks for unicycles also onza tensiles are meant to be good

[jaco_flans]

KH moments are amazing! I dont know how much it would take to be able to break a pair... I dont think anyone will try because it might be suicide!:p
KH moment are unbreakable.

[Michaelgoround]

I have never heard of any breaking and some people drill them to make them lighter.

[Biggestbtc]

I guess you can say that your Moment cranks are the strongest parts of your unicycle. Before they break, something else will.

yeah, but they dont break, everything can break before moments for sure, even the seatclamp.

[humblbee]

would a double hole 110 127 moment not be a good off the shelf lighter wieght drilled and shaved moment for street? Just an idea.

[skrobo]

i don't think you will break them... ever...
not really... 127 is pretty short... 110's are even shorter.

i have not heard of any breaking ... even the ones that have been drilled ...

If you tried something like a 15 ft drop they might bend slightly, but I think the spokes and rim would give out first.

[Hugo_Duguay]

Mike Parenteau actually bent a couple of pairs. But it was from ridiculously huge Muni drops (I guess somewhere around 15-20 feet). Anyways I think they are under the KH warranty, so anytime you bend or snap them, you can get another pair for free.

Basically, like everyone said, other parts will break before them. And do not judge them with Mike's riding, he's not human.

4.5 till 6m drop... WTF???

I guess Moments are allowed to bend slightly at this heigh...

[unicycler100]

+1. I've taken my moment of 6footish drops not as high as 15ft I know. (I wont go any higher :D)

But the rim and spokes will def go 1st.

[peleschramm]

I think that there's definitely something wrong with mine. There has been for quite some time.

But I wouldn't say it's broken. It's still rideable, and isn't very bent, if at all.

i destroyed my rim yesterday and my moments are still in perfect shape. I ride 150's on my 24, basically the longer you guy the more likley its going to be that you bend them. But i highly doubt you ever will

[Gadge]

So Moments are over-engineered and over-weight? ;)

[hectorqlucero]

no. They are unbrakable!

How can you tighten it? On mine the pedal comes off with it stuck to it.

I think there is but I'm not to sure how to.....

I use 137/165s for MUni

[jaco_flans]

I used an old spoke to tight mine, but now they are always loose, I just try to pull them the farther I can and then they dont move for a little while.

interesting observation...

so nimbus ventures might be better money-wise and still as strong?

[jaco_flans]

Venture are better money-wise, but not as strong as KH Moment cranks.

+1 moments are like the best crank for unicycles

[Probailer2]

+1 moments are like the best crank for unicycles

And the heaviest to...
I use K1 lights: light will still being strong for trial stuff

[skrobo]

umm
i want to see video of these drops, and pictures of the cranks, because i don't believe it.

[unicycler100]

yes but K1s dont fit nimbus/KH hubs that well. I know people have done it

[jaco_flans]

Koxx-one cranks fits on KH/Nimbus hubs, but the Moments dont fit on the Koxx-one hubs. The real ISIS is slightly smaller than the Koxx-one ISIS.

Didn't they resolve that problem on the new stuff?

[jaco_flans]

They supposely did, but I'm not 100% sure.

[unicycler100]

ok thats quite interstening and very understandable at the same time.

[SpaceFmK]

So you can drill the Moments, but how much weight do you really save with that? Anybody have an estimate or idea? It would be interesting to know how much weight you can lose and still have an unbreakable crank.

[Smilymarco]

Around 60-80g i think (for each crank)

[unicycler100]

Around 60-80g i think (for each crank)

wow thats a lot but it would make the cranks less strong...

[Smilymarco]

True

But Moments are bombproof ;)

[unicycler100]

true lol

[Xyphota]

lol im sure thats true but i wouldnt want to go into a bombproof shelter with holes in it =P

[SpaceFmK]

Im not usually dealing with bombs.. So I dont need it bombproof, just breakproof. I wouldnt mind going into a breakproof room with holes in it....

Quick Question not worth a new thread:

Whats the advantage of tubular street cranks? Moments with rolos vs street cranks.

Thanks.

[aidanteleki]

what if you had an titaium rim from kh though?

[jaco_flans]

what if you had an titaium rim from kh though?
You mean Titanium hub? Titanium hub is just lighter, cooler, and better(?).:D

[aidanteleki]

no i mean the whole titanium wheel set. that's like $ 600 and btw has anyone even broken their K1 light cranks

some one just let me know ^^ need to know what to spend my money on! :p

[unicyclerman]

i have been riding mine for a long time and they are perfectly fine and i know joe campbell stripped out the pedal insert on his without bending them. it takes a good deal to destroy them you just gotta take care of the pedal inserts.

Tubular cranks flip faster than moments;)

[Tyler 258]

Haha thanks, guess i will buy a pair just to have them. :p

[aidanteleki]

yeah just to have them? and moments are universal for trial street and flat

[Unigurd]

Hi.

My KH moments' inserts are loose, and I wanna get them out so I can glue them to the rest of the crank. When I have to change pedals before a ride, and one of the pedals just won't off, I just feel like burning my uni and going inside again. Which tool do I need for removing the inserts?

Thanks. :)

[unicycler100]

to take teh inserts of you need to undo the lock ring at the back to do this you can get a piece of wood with 2 nails in to that line up with the holes on the lock ring

[jaco_flans]

That was my idea!!:p If you want your "tool" to last long you have to put big spacers between the head of the bolts and the wood, because it'll break the wood if you dont put the spacers on. I recommend plywood, witch is really strong wood.

Unigurd

you say you can't get one pedal off. Are you sure that you are trying to turn it the right way? Remember that the left pedal is left hand (reverse) thread.

Haha funny. My mate got a new KH long neck and like a week after the screw come out lol and my Boss and I suggested nails in wood. lol

Great minds think a like haha

[Unigurd]

Thanks Jakob and Unicyler100, I will try that. :)

And yes, I am sure I am turning it the right way. ;)

I think that I may have made a mistake when I ordered my Impulse 36er because I "upgraded" from the Nimbus Venture crank arms (125's weigh 330 grams and have zero Q factor for more speed) to the KH Moments double hole 125/150 (these weigh a whopping 586 grams and have 10mm Q factor). It just seems dumb to take the "lightest 36er ever made" and add over a half pound of crank arms. How much weight could I save if I "drill out" my KH Moments 125/150's? If I could save 60-80g per crank, that would but me back in Venture territory.

You can probably frill off more then that. There is a street rider on here that took a ton of weight off his 137's and he uses those for trials and street. Look him up. agentq is his name. Should have a thread on it.
EDIT: Here is a link to his profile and a recent video displaying his cranks. (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84386)

[agentQ]

... the KH Moments double hole 125/150 (these weigh a whopping 586 grams..

You need to times 586 times 2 before you subtract 160 or so.. this still does not put them in venture territory.

I lost over 35% of the weight in my 137 Moments.
Here is a nice picture to show how much innards were removed.

[TheJoker]

is that still strong enough to handle drops about 3-4ft?

[AlisterBurt]

jokey i reckon you could still go off bigger than that without problems on those.

[DavidHood]

that is awesome! thanks for the pics gives me an idea how it's done. BTW, I take it back. I am glad I got the 125/150 Moments! lots of hills in kentucky...

[agentQ]

Ive been ridding them for over a year now. When I had them milled/drilled, I told my friend to make them as light as possible and that I did not care about them breaking. I wanted to see how far I could push this idea. I was not expecting them to last more than a couple weeks, but they are holding up fine.

Keep in mind I weigh about 130, so I am not the heaviest, but go watch my video "beggin' for more", plenty of 3-4 foot drops and bigger in that video.

Ive ruined rims while riding these cranks, so they are still stronger than any drilled rim I have ridden, as of now.
