Better Design (Mod) than KH Crank
I wonder why KH is still using "Nubbed Cranks"

Those aren't really nubs on the upper photo of the new KH unicycle, because the cranks have a Q-factor. So your ankle won't really hit them unless you try to...I think. (Q-factor is the amount the cranks are bent outward)

the problem I have with the nubs is when I grind handrails, they smack the supports for the rail. so I have to point the front of the tire in more than I want to. I use profile cranks which have a tiny nob, I can't imagine using kh or summit cranks.

Leeman is right, my Onza cranks have the same exact nubs(mostly because they are basically the same cranks other than signature), and I have never hit my ankles while riding. It's all the Q-factor.

the new kh cranks are similar to the profile cranks. the q-factor makes it so you will never hit your ankles. there isnt any nubs there anyway.

nubs
I've just bought a set of those kh cranks and didn't realise how bad the nubs were till i started riding the thing. I think i'll be modifying mine in the same way.What are the threads for anyway inside where the bolt is?

Thanks Jagur but i was talking about the fine thread that is inside the crank arm. It looks like it was for a dust cap or something.

That's for a crank removal tool or on the new KH's a self extractor thing.
