Hey everyone! I finally got my KH 36 (single speed) yesterday. It
didn't arrive until 7:10 in the evening, so by the time I had it all
ready to go I didn't have much time to do a decent test run. I just
took it around the block a couple times. I instantly fell in love with
the thing. Everything about it is awesome! It is extremely light (it
feels about 5 pounds lighter than my 24" Torker DX), rigid, and most
importantly, it is a sexy beast!:p I love the nightrider tire. It
rolls so smooth and the higher psi makes going uphill a breeze. This
morning I gave the uni its first real test run; a 15 mile trip to Lake
Murray, with my dad on his mountain bike. It was awesome being able to
keep up with him on a uni. As we were riding around the paved track at
the lake, only two bikes passed us the whole time! We rode about half
the length of the track (about 1.6 miles) to the end and took a break.
I switched the pedals from the 150mm position to the 125. The trailmix
pedals are perfect for the dual drilled moments because you can take
them off with an allen wrench instead of a pedal wrench. We then rode
the full length of the track, and all the way back to the start for a
total of around 9 miles. My dad was trailing me most of the way and
reporting our speed on his speedometer. I was able to go over 33 kph
on some downhills! (not sure what that is in mph, maybe 20?). I am
really pleased with the quality of this unicycle. Everything feels
rock solid and I feel like I am not wasting any energy on uphills.
Climbing actually feels easier on this than my 24! I am really glad I
went with the 36 instead of 29. Kris, this is truly an amazing
unicycle!!! I will post some pics later tomorrow. I don't have much
experience on other 36ers (this is my first), but feel free to ask me
any questions you might have.

The original KH36 is from 2003. Here is a photo:

I bought it because I thought it would solve the problem I had with the
wheel rubbing on steep up and down. It turned out that it was the
wheel's fault, not the frame's, so I sold it soon after and switched to
a Hunter36 with a Stockton wheel.
The 2008 KH36 is aluminum and a great product - much more affordable
than the old one. http://www.krisholm.com/khu/kh36
