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
⓬
in the bearing housings
⓭
. 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
⓳
to check that the tire
⓱
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
❸
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
❻
on the frame
❼
. The slots on the clamp and
the frame should line up and face the rear of the unicycle.
2. Insert the seatpost
❺
into the frame
❼
and tighten the seatpost clamp
❻
with medium-firm hand pressure.
3. Smear the pedal holes in the cranks
⓯
with a small amount of grease. Fit
the pedals
⓰
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
⓮
(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.
