  3. Try a new seat, anything else you would be best waiting and saving your
    cash for a new unicycle, maybe something a bit stronger if you get
    better at trails?

  4. yeah
    the main upgrade you would want is the frame, butthe Kh frame is too
    expensive, so either get a Kh or just go w/ a seat or something,
    actually just reshape your foam in your seat.

    Why? That uni is super strong.

    If you want a lighter trials, just save your money and get a whole KH.

    Or wait untill you break the seatbase and get a CF one.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  6. i'm accually looking into a K1. nothing is for certain yet but i was
    just getting some food for thought. so thanks for everything so far.
    i'm not a heavy person (95 lbs.) so im more concerned with saving
    weight than gaining stength.

    should i just take the cover off the old one reshape it and restaple
    right into the plastic base again? or buy a KH fusion cover, because
    the qu-ax seat is the same design as the KH saddle

  12. Super light, and the weight comes off the outer rotating mass. I think
    they don't get a fair try just because they cost less then 15 $ I am
    using these on my KH now. They are as light as the most $ up metal
    pedals. You will feel the difference.

    I did this to my DX seat.

    Just plied the staples out, cut the foam to what I wanted, and put the
    cover back on. Don't staple the cover on too tight, or else it will
    cause easy ripping in sections. Keep it snug, but give it some slack
    too.

    I would of jsut got the fusion cover, but I didn't want to pay that
    much money for one.

    NOO! KHs are lighter and you'll be much more satisfied when you ride
    it.

    I say each to their own, if he wants a *K1* then let him.

    But then again a *KH* would be a better option. 😄

  16. K1 unis are perfectly fine!!!!! Why have the kid spend $100 more on a
    KH when all he wants to do is save weight(yes i know KH is lighter, but
    only like half a pound or a pound). Oneisenough, if your looking into
    a new uni, i highly recommend Koxx-One. For some reason a lot of
    people on these forums dislike k1 unis, but in all reality they are
    nearly as good as a KH for a cheaper price.(and they look cool too!)

    well, its an option but i've heard the best things about kh and k1 and
    i can get them all for about the same price, so i havent made up my
    mind yet.

    with MuniAddict's "New Low Price KH source," the KH is VERY close to
    the price of a K1 from Renegadejuggling.com. if i decide to get a new
    uni, the price difference is so minimal that price wont matter, all of
    the quality unis seem to be within $50 after a bit of searching.
