Custom Titanium Unicycles

[Nurse Ben]

Ben, I don't get it, I thought that you were a titanium fan-boy.

Not exactly a fan, but I like my Ti frame. I'm a gear junkie that just so happens to have enough free cash to buy good gear. You oughtta see my ski gear :0

Ti is flexy, so I'd be more wary the longer you go on the frame legs, that's not to say that Ti won't work for a 36er, but there are perfectly good alternatives.

I'm just trying to add a little bit of reason to this discussion. I don't want the younger folks on this forum to get the idea that Ti is so much better simply because it's the most expensive frame material.

In terms of biggest bang for the buck, KH frames are the best, which is why I have three of them at my house (20, 24, 36)

BUT, if you have the cash, you might as well get the Ti.

I will say that in certain situations Ti has quite an advantage over other materials, such as the KH Ti hub; which must be made from steel otherwise, it has a huge weight advantage over standard hubs. I have Ti hubs on my 26 and 36, so much lighter, yet super strong!
