  1. I know theres lots but nothing asking this.

    I'v been wanting to buy a Torker DX 20" but are they really THAT
    heavy?
    And why do ppl say: Torker 20\"?!?

    Is it like theres somthing wrong with the 20" DX?

    AND

    Howmuch did some of you already pay for US > Canada border fees?

    Thanks alot

    Alex

  3. because its not really that bad if you have a heavy muni, ie 24", but
    trials you need a light uni.. but it really isnt that bad.. the extra
    pound or so really doesnt effect hooping all that much.. i have a 20"
    and its awesome

  4. There is nothing wrong with a 20". People just refer to one or the other
    at a time, some people have said they are both heavy.

    No they are not THATheavy. Unless you are a weight weanie trying to
    make your uni perfect....

  5. I havea 20" dx 2006 model. If i remember correctly it wieghts 1.6 pounds
    more than a qu-ax. (my friend has a qu-ax). The Dx is a great uni and
    the weight difference doestn really matter

  6. I think it is about 14-15 pounds of uni. It really doesnt make a
    difference, just ride it for 5mins and youll be used to it.

  10. Ive had mine for about 4ish months, its been holding up great, Ive broke
    a peice of my pedal off, cause the pedals on them arnt too great, but
    cheaply replacable, and I havent even needed to replace mine yet, cause
    they are still good, and Ive had a few loose spokes, but thats only
    from doing 5-foot+ drops, and re-tightening them fixes that little
    problem.

    Look in my gallery to see a few pictures of me riding my DX =p

  14. i trampoline unicycle all the time... but its tso much easier if you
    know how to suicide mount.

    anyway...
    my torker dx died about 3 weeks ago... i think i was just unluckey...
    and got a defected frame. i broke my pedal OFF and im gonna have to buy
    a new set. but i guess the unicycle isnt meant for the HARDCORE stuff i
    ride(sarcasm)

    but i think its a great uni. in my opinion the weight helps. it makes
    you stronger. the uni isnt gonna last forever but once it dies your
    gonna be a great hopper on an heavy uni. once you get your
    new(hopefully lighter uni) youll be a beast.

    hope that helps

  16. Hey dye3, I just recently got the Torker DX 20" trials uni and the thing
    itself has held up well, although my seat did break within the first
    month, but it was a manufacturing defect (something you have to watch
    out for because it is nearly impossible to get ahold of Torker or SBS,
    wherever you're buying it from). If you're planning on coming out to
    the ottawa ride this Saturday, I'd be happy to let you try mine, and
    see if you like it. Like people say, its a heavy uni, but its really
    strong and pretty good quality other than the occasional build hiccup.
    In any case, hope to see you out riding on Saturday.

  17. I've bought 2 of the DXs. A 2004 and a 2006. You can't get a splined
    crank uni for less. As stated previously in this thread the pedals are
    pretty cheap but the rest of the uni is of very good quality. I've
    seen a few threads talking about the seat post tube snapping off on
    them so this may be a weak point but I've had no troubles with mine.
