    then you wouldn't be able to use an isis hub. that qu-ax frame only fits
    qu-ax hubs&cranks.

    Not true, the qu-ax aluminum frame is made for 42mm OD bearings and is
    100mm wide. The KH ISIS is both 42mm OD and 100mm wide.

    We only need one 36" rim, one that doesn't suck. A properly sized KH rim
    (like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

  2. what are the weight differences in the DX's frame and the Numbus 1 and 2
    frames, because when mine breaks im prolly going to get the 2, but what
    is the weight on 1 just in case.

    Saving up my money for the Nimbus 2 frame right now, they fit eachother
    the DX, with the Nimbus 2, right.

    What are the strength differences with Nimbus 2, to Torker DX frame?
    And will my seat post fit in the frame???

  3. I don't know if it really makes much of a difference, but to learn a 360
    unispin I had been practicing on my DX and could easily land 180
    unispins. I desided to trie on a KH and landed my first one. I think he
    weight of the KH helped me spin the uni faster to get the movement and
    technique, but now I can land 360s just as easily on my DX.

  5. KH parts look better in the same way better bicycle or motorcycle parts
    look better. Better materials and construction makes the parts look
    better.🙂
    All good riders, in all sports, strive to cheat as much as their
    wallet will allow, to make their ride as strong and light as possible.
    Other then your ride quality, all you got is talent😎 .
    Considering this reality, the KH is the only way to go now. Paying
    100 or so dollars less for a 2 lb. heavier uni is just so lame in so
    many ways. It's more then just the lbs. It is the way the lbs. are
    there.
    The KH uni's are not expensive at all, considering what it must cost
    to build it. And it looks every bit as cool as a top dollar bike !😄

    Yeah it doesnt seem like a lot, but the KH only weights 80% of what the
    DX does. It would cost me over $1K to drop 3 lb of my mountain bike.

    It would surely cost a lot more to make your bike 80% of its current
    weight, too. And you would immediately notice the difference.

    2.8 lbs of uni weight is not the same as 2.8 lbs of body weight. You
    are used to moving your body around, however big it is. The unicycle is
    something extra and it is easier to move around and generally feels
    less sluggish when it gets lighter. The same is true on mountain bikes
    as I'm sure you know.

    So if you have the money, yes, the weight savings and coolness factor
    are worth the $200 IMHO.

  7. When you unispins you arn't moving your body weight around, you are
    moving the uni's.
