| 27.8.09: Ken Looi brakes
1-hour-world record with 29.993km!
On his 36" Kris Holm uni, equipped with Schlumpf hub (1.5x geared up), Ken brakes Jan Logemann's record (27.564 km) and misses the 30 km by just 7 meters, less than one second of time!! Ken - congratulations! |
We have custom manufactured a new bearing especially for our muni hubs. It contains 50% larger diameter bearings and is significantly stronger. All new KH series hubs will be equipped with these bearings.
To those of you who have experienced long delays while waiting for hub repairs, thank you for your patience and understanding. We would like to apologize for any inconveniences in this matter! Our goal is the highest possible quality and reliability, and we have been working very hard to make sure that the hub and bearings are properly tested and perform as intended. Thanks again for your interest in the KH/Schlumpf hub!
CONGRATULATIONS!
An incredible hard race - not many miles on flat ground but all very hilly and mountaineous - an ideal route for geared hubs!
