[DSchmitt]

first time i've heard of impact, but i like it.

[bobousse]

impact is the new name of addict

[uniMichal]

Nice unicycle and the rim is cool! But 4,2 kg is too little, so mind the strong wind :D

[unicycler100]

thats pretty sweet....

Why did addict change names to impact??? (sounds cooler lol)

[Julia B]

I think there was already a bike company named addict and they had to change it or something.

[unicycler100]

ok makes sense now

Does Impact have a new logo yet?

-titanium exceed hub
-

The flanges on that hub look tiny! Is it even possible to change a spoke without removing the bearings?

STM

[bobousse]

yes you have to remove the bearings to change spokes, but someone who has the money to have a titanium hub has the money for a bearing extractor i think

a small flanges wont be bent..... plus you gain some weight haha

[1radler]

Seat: Impact
Seatpost: Impact

... but someone who has the money to have a titanium hub...

And if I have the money, where can I buy this hub?

[bobousse]

And if I have the money, where can I buy this hub?
i don't know when the hub will be avalaible, you can check for impact distributors on imapct website www.impactunicycles.com

[Josefposef]

how are the all bran pedals good compared to odyssey pc plastic or eastern plastics?

[bobousse]

all bran pedals, are not classics pedals, it's made from plastic and fiber so that it's stronger
i rode those pedals for more than 6 months and i ride between 1/5 hours per day each day and i have no problem with those pedals yet
so believe me it's pretty good pedals ;)

Man, I like those fork legs!

[filotr14lsdude]

does any body know the spoke length for the impact wheels?i need new spokes and cannot find the length

thanks for your help

[kidmuni]

you need 172mm long spokes.

[catch1]

just a few question? will the impact seatposts fit on the KH saddle? and how much better are the impact saddles? do they have the same parts (handels and bumbers) as the KH? what about the reagent frames how would they compare to the KH frames wheight and strength wise? im about to upgrade my uni you see and im trying to decied what parts to get.

-Yes, KH saddles fit on impact seatposts.
-I really like impact saddles, they are really thin and light.
-I think its the same handle's and bumpers...i could be wrong though.
-I think the reagent frames are a LOT stronger than the KH ones, they have a better design at the fork, and i snapped my KH frame doing the same thing that I'd done heaps of times on my reagent one.

Hope this helps.

[filotr14lsdude]

The seats are alot thinner,the bumpers look the same.
The seat post fits a kh seat
I can't say about the frames as I use a kh.I need the long neck for my height.

The impact seats have the old velo base (same as k1, kh before 09, quax, torker...). Kris redesigned his base so now so all of the KH seats are stronger. It's also a slightly different shape, the rear bumper is deeper also. They both fit on the same posts.
I don't know about the frames, I just know the impact frame is the same as the bunnycycle frame that kahero used to(?) sell. The crown is really tall.

[catch1]

so would you get a new KH seat or an Impact seat? is it worth the extra $$$?

[filotr14lsdude]

Impact feel better to hold onto and the covers not as sqirmy as the kh(I mean,it doesn't move around as much,even with the kh strings as tight as possible)

Hey Spencer in your videos it looks like your saddle is different than the regular KH saddle what is it if it in fact is different?

I have a carbon fiber base by Scott Wallis (http://www.wallisdesign.com/DRbaseCollage2comp.jpg) and I use a thomson seat post.
I have a little bit of cut foam from a KH seat along with a bit of duct tape inside. I use a blue miyata bumper because it fits the seat base better. I have a KH seat cover and handle.
It is pretty much the nicest seat setup that you can buy (in my opinion).

[aidanteleki]

whoa thats awesome

[filotr14lsdude]

Does any one know were to get the exceed titanium hub?

[aidanteleki]

nope

How the hell did you get the seat post to fit over fabric without ripping it?

[bergum]

How the hell did you get the seat post to fit over fabric without ripping it?

The Impact/Addict seats are designed to be fitted like that... With the fabric tucked under the post.

[filotr14lsdude]

thats how they go.it stops the cover moving around

[aidanteleki]

I know but renegade told me to put the cover over the seat post but when I did that it didn't fit. The I put my KH seat post (2007-2008) over the fabric I really had to take a file to it to slim it down to make it fit ! :(

after riding it this afternoon i decided to put my Ti hub on it, don't know yet the exact weight of it, but... it's so light to ride it hahaha

[aidanteleki]

Wow! very nice uni indeed! Is that a new style of frame like a kinda longneck or is the saddle low so it looks longer? :D btw you bringin that to EUC?
Haha I wonder if most flatland riders will now transfer over to riding those type of wheel sets.

[bobousse]

it's the impact reagent long neck frame, plus i ride my seat a little lower than before... i'll be at EUC, and if i didn't change my mind about that uni i'll be with it at EUC.
i don't think most flatland riders will switch to those type of wheels, this wheel is good for spins and crankroll tricks, for the flip tricks i'm doing it's ok, but for riders that do flip tricks a lot i don't know how good it is...

[Luke Collalto]

i updated my set up lately here it is

What's up with the seat/foam/cover? It seems a bit oddly shaped.

Does the impact seat foam/cover fit UDC carbon fiber bases well?

[aidanteleki]

That's what I thought too. The sides of the saddle are black unlike the regular impact saddles.

[bobousse]

it's a prototype seat cover, that's why it's different than the others...

[AlisterBurt]

bobousse, can you tell me, is the foam underneath the cover yellow?
And my seat is basically new, and the cover is starting to go seethrough, is there anything i can do about this? :(

[bobousse]

i don't understand what you're speaking about... my foam is one year old.. i just got no problem with it yet... it's just that the foam got my finger print on it hahaha

[AlisterBurt]

Well, my saddle which is <1 months old, has started looking yellow, i was wondering whether it was the foam underneath showing through the cover, i dont actually know what colour the foam is :P

[simonb]

foam is yellow, but i doubt you can see it though the cover.... more likely just general dirty handedness from riding, rubbing off on the seat?

[knoxuni]

duct tape fixes everything!

[AlisterBurt]

ooh, how much of your uni has to be impact before you can class yourself as having a custom impact uni? my wheelset ships tommorow :)

[AlisterBurt]

Finally got my wheelset up and running thanks to Axel! :D
Need to get me a KH frame next...

[Jagster]

Haha! Your uni would look even more gangsta with a KH frame :D

[wickedbob]

Ugh, those bolts look like f****** s***

[AlisterBurt]

yeah dude, but it's better than waiting months and months for them to come back in stock, these are custom ones that axel was nice enough to send me until I could get ones that fit properly.

[wickedbob]

Yeah, better than nothing.


Just ruins the rest of the unicycle. It's really nice.... except for those.

[AlisterBurt]

:) ah well, hopefully they wont be there for too long!

[Eddbmxdude]

Looks good Ali. Get some Tensiles on there!

[AlisterBurt]

I might! :) I emailed UDC about it, they get them back in stock around november, my birthdays december... It could work!
KH frame though... mm. :)

What's the exact weight of that? Not that I'm a weight weenie, but that uni seems pretty well specced out with some crazy light parts it's scary!

Yeah, I understood what you meant, but considering they're not out yet, I figured I'd just tell you when they'd be out according to Elias. :p

I really want one as well, I currently have my sexy flatland machine, and now I need my sexy street machine. :D

[Jagster]

[erick]

An impact gravity frame, K-1 clamp, and a pit fighter II seatpost all fit well together right? I'm pretty sure they do but I just want to make sure.

[AlisterBurt]

should do, if you got the 27.2 frame :)

It's funny when that is the first thing on the page.

haha nah :P this is ma streeeeeet uni :D

[JacobSpera]

Ride it till its bald ;)

GO HARD!

[knoxuni]

all the time :)

[mowcius]

Really annoyed I can't seem to get a gravity longneck frame anywhere at the moment or I would have:
KH seat, PFII seatpost, gravity longneck frame, singlebolt seatclamp, Koxx 32h reinforced wheelset, 140mm K1 reinforced cranks, Gusset PCPs (probably changing to twisted PCs as they're more grippy, tryall tyre)

All of these unicycles with Impact gravity frames look so nice!

If Impact are looking at changing the frame design (as is the word on the street :p ) then I can't wait! Literally though, I don't think I can wait that long.

[bobousse]

new setup, some subtle changes, home modified simple wall rim, and new cdk seat cover
uni weight: 4.6kg (not bad for 19" and tubular cranks in my opinion)
