Hello Chuck,

I'm Flaviu from Romania and have a KH36 (among many other unis).

The wheel is too heavy. That's a fact! Knowing that you shaved your tire I date to ask you some questions:
- did you shave the knobs completely? (like they do on trials tires)
- how did the tire surface curvature ended up? (more round, more flat)
- what tool(s) did you use for this procedure?
- do you have an (rough) estimation of the "weight loss"?

Last but not least, I would really appreciate to have a close-up photo of the "mod" tire. please...if possible
----------------------------------------------------
Moreover, drilling the rim may be a good idea!?
Have you done that too?
...I believe 2 / 3 holes (10-14mm) for each interval would be proper...

Thank you very much,
Flaviu

Hey!!! I'm seriously considering getting a KH36 with a t7 handle. How similar are the colors of the KH frame and the t7 handle? from your photo it looks REALLY similar and good. And also do you UPD the geared 36er often??? looks a DREAM. cheers man
