BMX uni for Flat?

I could be wrong, but aren't bike tires much heavier?

You could always get a uni tire and shave it, or shave the one you have
to save money..

I could be as wrong as ever right now, so would someone please correct
me if I am extremely off.

Use the Nimbus DJ rim, its awesomely wide for a 20" rim.

Will it fit in the frame I posted, with a 2.10 tire? I don't really
know how the measurements stack up....

Buy this uni that bryan suggested with the KH moment cranks and Hub...
Call unicycle.com... And they will make a custom for you i think...

Or why you just don't buy this one:
'NIMBUS X STREET'

Again, it wasn't meant to be an insult. I just don't get how it happens
- especially when someone quotes me directly in their posts and its
spelled out right before their eyes.

I'm Sorry Br*i*an...

Your name and of other guys in this forum are very strange for me..
Here in my country these names aren't very popular...

Next time I will pay more attention...

I think the Nimbus DJ rim is 48 hole....and you could get a Nimbus or KH
it depends if you want blue or black. And also get Quax Tubular cranks
from MDC the black ones in 125mm.

Well I was planning to use this uni for street AND flat, so I figured
the moment cranks were a better idea. But is all this even worth it?
Will I gain anything out of the BMX set up(as opposed to shaving a
Nimbus X Street)?

There are pros and cons to both bmx style unis and trials style unis. If
your gonna build a BMX setup I recomend a kevlar beaded tire, this will
make it nice and light. As far as cranks for flat go, the qu-ax cranks
with shaved nubs on a K1 hub seams to me the best I have tried. I cant
really recomend this setup as is takes modifying the cranks and is not
the best fitting setup, tho for flat it should work fine.(I also ride
pretty agressive street with this setup, as BrIan O can attest to.)

As far as 20" tire vs 19" tire. A 20" will roll very nicely for flat
and feels very awesome. The problems is you need to be much more
acurate as the tire allows for less slop. The 19" is much more
forgiving when your technique isnt quite perfect. I think if BMX was
better for flat, you would see flat riders using freestyle unis more
then they are.

There is something very nice about a true 20" uni. It feels so nice so
zippy so clean. When I have been riding a 19" setup alot I miss the
fast and smooth roll of a 20". When I ride a 20" alot I miss the
mellow, bouncy forgiving feel of a 19".

As far as a setup goes, I think your best options is the nimbus DJ,
kevlar beaded tire, and if your feeling friskey, K1 hub with quax 125
CrMO cranks. Plastic pedals and domina frame(If money is not an issue,
seams they have no problem replacing them when they break). This would
be super light and very nice for flat.

K1 hub fit's the 125 Quax CrMO cranks? Isn't koxx isis smaller than the
original ISIS present on the KH and Nimbus Hubs and Cranks?

And about the Domina Frame I don't think that yoggi will replace all
frames that you brake! He replaced one for Spencer... but i don't know
if he replaced a second one...

And i talked wih Yoggi last week, and he told me that at the end of
march koxx will release some 2008 products:
-Domina 2
-Xavier Collos Street Pro Model
-Loic Baud Flat Pro Model

I think that with this unis will come a bunch of new parts! 😄

Anyway... If money isn't a problem... I would go with a Koxx One wheel
with 135's tubular Cranks, KH Frame, KH Seat and KH Seat Post.... I
think that is the Spencer setup (except the seat post, he uses a
Thompson with SW Base)...

Bye!

Now my uni is all KH (with my Thomson and Wallis seat).

Yoggi is going to replace my black domina again. He said he will give
me a domina 2 at unicon because its easier and I don't need it right
away since I have my KH frame that I like. I will also probably get a
new KH frame when they come out.
