Re: kh '08?


I talked to Kris about 2008 improvements over email. I suggested some of
this

Saddle- for the fusion street, change the foam to make it more
Luxury-like. The Luxury saddle is by far and away the nicest saddle for
seat-out hopping and is also comfortable to sit on too. You'd only
really know if you've tried both.

Frame- pretty decent, but Kris was interested by my idea of improving
the alloy to 6066 (Ultra 6) which is the modern standard for the top
biketrials frames. It is a tiny bit flexier than 7005 but less brittle,
making it great for a trials frame as it absorbs a lot of shock and
flex the tiniest bit than rather be stiffer and more brittle. ... Also
for the crown, the current seattube join is very weak as there is only
one weld, changing the join similar to the Black Domina or new Qu-Ax
Street frame would be beneficial.

Hub- Just have the flanges stiffer, because designing them to be flexy
and bendy isn't great as it pulls the spokes as it bends and also,
isn't very confidence inspiring either. As for appearance- please make
the hub black instead of blue.

Seatpost- To make it a simple improvement, just introduce Kris Holm
branded steel posts, and possibly make them reinforced steel posts too.
Or just borrow Qu-Ax's new idea. Koxx-One's flutted tubing idea works
nicely for their pit fighter as flutted tubes does seeem to be good for
BMX components too.

Rim- please oh please, lose those holes. Or make them a bit smaller as
they are too big just like standard drilled Pulo rims (Try-All for
example). I know of plenty trials riders (mostly bike) that have
snapped the joints between the spoke holes and the big holes on the
rimtape side... The KH frame is light enough so having tiny tiny bit
heavier rim is not going to be terrible.
