    Wrong, they don't break easily. Probably 4 out of hundreds of people
    have had the frame break. The unicycle is very strong both the 06 and
    07. I have an 06 and I ride it hard and there has been no issues.

    Other than the weight of the little metal reinforcement ring, no.

    DXs don't break easy. the frame *will* break eventually. we have 3
    DXs at my school and the 2 which were riden regularly had their frame
    break. in less than 5 months.

    Very doubtful. The '07s haven't been out for 5 months.

    uhh
    more like 20 or so, on the forums. the 05 frames broke commonly for the
    same reason, and I broke mine as well (multiple 5 and 6 foot drops).
    the 07 frame is much stronger, get the 07.

    I think they added a little bit of ribbing as well, but it is LIGHTER
    than my 05 frame
    and you couldnt feel the difference if you were prince "charming" and
    felt a pea under 100 matresses.

    Ahah, well that was my point, the weight difference between the 06 and
    07 is negligible. I didn't hear anything about ribbing, but the new
    reinforcement ring actually continues down inside the crown of the
    frame:

    By current DX cut-out view, it means the 2006 frame. The new 2007 frame
    is on top, and the 2006 frame is below.

  15. The Maxxim tire on the DX 06 has been replaced by a Kenda Kinetics
    24x2.60 tire on the DX 07 and there's also a brake mount on the 07.
    Supposedly the frame has additional reinforcement as well. I got the
    24" DX 07 and it weights 15.0 lbs.

    The 24" 06 had the Kenda tire and brake mounts as well. I've got that
    as well as the trials size. The frame reinforcement is shown in the
    picture I showed above.
