    well, the nimbus trials is your best option -never broken... its being
    ridden more and more, it is fairly new

    the KH is next (DEFINITELY get it if you have the money) as far as
    anyone can tell, these are the best unicycles(some argue between KH and
    KOXX)
    then Koxx ... same deal... actually don't get one... they are more
    expensive and heavier and the same strength
    then a DX - it is older, a little more expensive, but definitely worth
    the money, not over a nimbus though. i beat the [censored] out of mine, its
    still a unicycle that can be ridden hard.

    You say light and strong. Get the KH07 19" hands down. The only
    comparible product the KOXX makes is the XTP at around $800.
    A cheaper alternative is to get the nimbus trials at UDC upgraded with
    moment cranks.

    Happy unicycling.

    I would also recommend the nimbus trials. I have one, and it's served me
    very well so far.

    The KH07 is an excellent choice. Good job.

    My Nimbus Trials ISIS is coming in this Wednesday!! OK, got that out of
    my system.

    So from what I understand if you get a Nimbus ISIS with KH Moment
    cranks it'll be pretty much the same quality as a KH for a little more
    than half the price. If someone is going to freak out at me for stating
    something inaccurate... well I guess thats your choice.

    Two big things a different between the nimbus and the KH.

    The KH has a wider rim at 47mm compared to 42mm (Which does make a
    difference), and the KH frame is really light and takes 27.2mm
    seatposts (basicly stronger).

    the KH rim is also drilled, which you may or may not like later on
    the KH frame is aluminum as well. lighter, and VERY SLIGHTLY weaker.

    About the seat post. I asked for a steel seat post so I don't think
    that'll matter much.
