  2. Whatever you decide, make sure it's splined or else you'll end up paying
    more (to replace whatever you get) in the future.

    I'd recommend either the 20" Nimbus Hoppley ($350 from UDC), the 20"
    Nimbus Trials with Qu-Ax wheel ($330) or the 20" Torker DX ($259).
    They're all good unicycles, but lately there have been a number of
    incidents with people breaking their DX frames. A Nimbus frame hasn't
    broken yet, to my knowledge.

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

  3. I wouldnt get the DX.

    Once you break the frame on the DX and replace it with the NImbus frame
    it will almost be an exact replica of the Nimbus with qu-ax wheelset.

    I would try to get the Hoppley if you have enough money, but f it is an
    issue, get the Nimbus with Qu-AX.

    If money is really an issue you can get the DX, but plain on replacing
    the frame in about 5months.

  4. Because there hasn't been 80,000 threads about this already.

    What kind of trials do you do? if it's nothing extreme, you should be
    good with the Nimbus or the DX...I've heard many good things about the
    Nimbus, but I'm biased towards the DX, because I have one. Not sure if
    the Nimbus does, but many people have said that Torker has a lifetime
    frame warranty (maybe cranks too, not sure).

    Just remember, you almost always get what you pay for. If you want
    something good, it's almost a guarantee that you will have to pay at
    least 260 [American] dollars.

  5. I was going to say "get the QU-AX wheel because it has longer cranks",
    but apparently it doesn't. Actually, every single unicycle (cept for
    the profiles) there comes with 127mm cranks now. 😕
