  2. Ouch!
    I feel sorry for your loss. 😉

    I´m sure thats not supposed to happen. I really hope UDC will give you
    a new rim. MY KH rim broke, and I got a new one no-questions-asked.

  4. Oh that sucks so bad! 🙁 Same happened with my Nimbus 24 last summer. It
    sucked but UDC sent me a new rim so all went fine in the end.

    If this is the first time you -talked -to somebody about Uni I guess
    you rarely *ride* with other people? 😄 You should try and attend the
    next SWUM http://www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum.html.

    Hope you get it fixed before you run out of holiday.

  6. Wow, that stinks really bad! I'd think it would be the hub/cranks that
    would break first on that uni, but I guess not. I also feel sorry for
    your camera - or did you have so much coffee that you couldn't hold
    still? 😉 Just foolin...

  7. Keith, I have never ridden with someone else, this is because nobody i
    kmow uni's and i havent attended a uni meet because i only started
    reasonably recently. I will be attending the south west uni meet.

    Tyler, I stumbled as i took the first pic thats why it came out a bit
    blurred.

    It gets worse i was o the virgde (spelling??) Of landing a 180 unispin.

  9. That type of break is because of a rim defect. The Nimbus rim is the
    same as the new Kris Holm rim, and the both those have a tendency to
    break like that.
