  2. What's the silver gizmo on the brake lever?

    It's similar to, but different from, the 'Delta brake extender'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=516) that I've been
    using.

    what would i ask? paint is easily stripped off...if i got a kh 2005
    frame (which i never will) i would strip that blue off as well.

  7. Jagur if you read the whole thing you will see that it says why it has
    no paint. Its a prototype which means they hadn't chose the paint color
    yet .😄 😄

    i read your whole thread, im just saying that if you didnt mention
    anything i would have thought that you stripped the ugly blue paint
    off.

    can you say how long it was riddin durring the proto stage? it nice to
    know there was a few proto's but how long was the proto test stage? i
    still think some of these are going to break like Lasco's at the seat
    tube to crown weld...taiwan is great at leaving air bubbles in there
    alluminum exports. especialy in small markets like unicycles.

  9. Congratulations!

    I can't figure this out.
    Why a dx 32 rim? It's not the stronges rim there is so to say. 🙂
    I think it's kind of waisting that nice hub annd crankset with a rim
    that alot of people has broken. 🙂

    What do you think is stronger than an Alex DX-32? Mine has held out
    quite well. Doublewides are really heavy...and don't they have a poor
    braking surface? The only other main one I can think of the the new KH
    Freeride rim which hasn't really been widely tested.

    From what i've heard the dx 32 has broked for some people.. but don't
    they all?

    I was thinkonf of the Arrow Racing DHX, or some hope rim.
    But.. there has come to my mind.. that none of thease rims has any
    breaking surfices. Because, downhill bikes very rarley uses a rim
    brake.

    I wouldn't want a rim brake if that ment i couldn't have the rim i
    wanted. 🙂

    I am, and I know of heaps of people running DX-32's reasonably
    aggressively who are happy with them.

    yah. it'd be impossible to get a uni like that for 260 canadian. that's
    approximately $210 us. profile hub and crankset is $299 us.

    please explain

  19. Arrow rims have a braking surface, as far as I know.

    DX32's are probably the best all around rim we have. The standard by
    which all others are judged.
