  1. At TORKER's new website you can see they're new line of unicycle, the
    Unistar AX, as well as the new edition of the CX SE: www.torkerusa.com

    The AX series includes Torker's first 29er!

    Also, watch for the newly designed DX frame.

  3. terry,

    it looks just like the old frame, except:

    it has a collar welded at the bottom of the seat tube,
    and there is more clearance between the frame and tire...

    my friend got it yesterday, i will try to get some pictures of it as
    soon as i see him, if anyone's interested...

  8. it is exactly the same... except for the things i mentioned in my above
    post... the collar is maybe an inch tall, and an 1/8th thick, right
    around the base of the tube.
    i will try to get pics as soon as i can... i will take pics of the old
    DX and the new one side by side...

  11. that looks like a Schwallbe big apple tyre on the 29er....NICE!
    clearance to boot. no brake mounts 🙁

    the SE is an obvious pallet swap with either the green or the yellow
    ones...thats a little cheezy, i wonder if they will look that teal or
    maybe a darker blue when they hit the shops.

    We’ll be adding a better home page (more photos, more product
    links) later this week....

  15. I can see the AX, Evan 🙄.

    I don't understand why the DX (both the 20" and 24"😉 has brake mounts,
    but the AX 29er doesn't.

    no, but its the only option for 3 inch wide tyres. V-brakes wont clear a
    tyre over 2.1 or 2.3

  20. What's the diff between the AX and the LX? Frame material and a sloped
    crown? That it?
