Assembling your unicycle

Your unicycle comes partially assembled and should only 

take a few minutes to put together.

Your kit contains the components shown in the illustra-

tion to the right. You will require the following tools to 

assemble this unicycle:

 

15mm pedal wrench

 

4mm, 5mm & 8mm Hex       (Allen) keys

 

Grease

 

Tire pump

5.  Fit the wheel assembly in to the frame by seating the hub bearings 

 in the bearing housings 

. Make sure you have 

the right hand crank on the right side of the unicycle. If it is backwards your pedals will undo with extended riding, 

potentially damaging the cranks. Fit the second half of the bearing housings on the bottom of the frame and tighten 

the bolts with slight hand pressure. To test whether the bearing housing bolts are too tight, give the wheel a spin. The 

wheel should spin freely. If it does not turn perfectly freely, the bearing housings are too tight, and should be loosened 

slightly. Overly tight bearing housings will damage the bearings, and will not be covered by warranty.

6.  Use the valve 

 to check that the tire 

 is pumped up to the appropriate pressure. Tire pressure depends on personal 

preference. In general, tire pressures for freestyle or road riding should be very firm, while tire pressures for Muni and 

trials are somewhat lower. Experiment with this until you find a tire pressure(s) that you like.

7.  Set your saddle 

 to the right height. Proper seat height depends on personal preference and the type of riding.  For 

freestyle or general road riding, sit on the unicycle and move the seat so that your leg is almost straight when your 

heel is on the lowest pedal. For Muni and trials, saddle heights are generally somewhat lower. If you cannot get your 

saddle low enough you need to shorten the seatpost. This can be done with a pipe cutter or hacksaw. Shorten the 

seatpost so that the bottom of the post is touching the bottom of the seatpost tube when your saddle is at the mini-

mum desired height.

8.  Adjust your saddle angle by adjusting the seatpost angle adjustment bolts (KH24, KH26, KH29, KH36) or adjusting the 

position of the seatpost in the slots in the seatpost plate (KH20). Saddle angle is a matter of personal preference and 

you will need to experiment to find the most comfortable angle. Many riders prefer the saddle angled upwards in the 

front.

1.  Place the seatpost clamp 

 on the frame 

. The slots on the clamp and 

the frame should line up and face the rear of the unicycle.

2.  Insert the seatpost 

 into the frame 

 and tighten the seatpost clamp 

 

with medium-firm hand pressure.

3.  Smear the pedal holes in the cranks 

 with a small amount of grease. Fit 

the pedals 

 on the correct cranks by matching the Left/Right letter on the 

cranks with those on the end of the pedal. Tighten firmly.

4.  Firmly tighten the bolts in the ends of the axle 

 (on the outside of the cranks). 

You will probably need to re-check the tightness of these bolts after the first ride.

Congratulations on purchasing a Kris Holm unicycle!

 

Your new unicycle has been designed to become a natural, unrestrictive extension of you as you ride. 

It is the culmination of over 20 years experience riding some of the World’s most difficult terrain. No 

matter where you are in your unicycle journey, it is my hope that it will serve you well in your endeav-

ours.
