  1. Hello all...I am really new to unicycling.

    About two weeks ago I made the mistake of wasting $100 on a Cyclepro
    unicycle being sold in a Manhattan bike shop. The thing is a piece of
    [censored]. The pedals each fell off within three days of purchase and the
    nut to adjust the seat somehow got stripped so I was forced to saw off
    the bolt completely and replace it. Also, the seat is extremly
    uncomfortable. It also seems to wobble and feels very unstable. Though
    I suspect this is due to the cheap cranks it may be just because I'm
    learning to ride the damn thing so that might be normal...?

    I am wondering a few things...is it really more difficult to learn to
    ride on a cheaper unicycle? My instinct has been telling me the answer
    is, yes!

    I am thinking of junking the Cyclepro and investing in a Torker....The
    cost of a CX seems to be about $100...the DX is $110...is there any
    difference between these two models? I really like the way the CX comes
    in orange, so I'm leaning towards that model unless there is a strong
    reason to go with the LX. The last thing I wish to do is waste more
    money.

    I imagine there are several threads that already address some of these
    issues...if so, can you please point me to them?

    Your feedback is appreciated.

    Gracias!

  2. The LX is much better than the CX. From what I understand, the CX is
    basically the little kid's, beginner's model. If it's a decision
    between the CX and LX, go with the LX. My two cents.

  3. Yes go with the LX, Much better.

    Yay for NYC unicycling,

  4. From what you are describing, I assume that they put the wheel on
    backwards and the pedals untightened.

    Regardless, cyclepros are [censored]. Go with the LX, best first uni ever.
