new uni, which one?

Strength wise, they are the same. Only problem with the DX was the frame
breaking in 2006, but UDC now ships the 2007 model, and the frame wont
break. Cold forged is just a way that they make the cranks. Its a
special process to make them strong. Someone on here will be able to
give you more onfo on that though.

they are both good. If you get the newer DX, neither of them should
break. I have the qu-ax, i think its a little bit better, and its about
half a pound lighter. Depends whether you are willing to spend a little
bit more for that half a pound. Also depends upon your preference in
color. Personally, i think the qu-ax is the nicest looking unicycle out
there. When you see that yellow hub in person you will cry its so
beautiful.

I'd say the quax is better.

1. the yellow hub is beautiful...
2. I like the seat more than the DX.
3. the frame has a better design for 1 footed and ww tricks.
4. its lighter.

5. I jsut like it more🙂

Get a Hoppley 😄

If you are going to go with the two you posted go with the qu-ax I have
heard more people recomend them than the Torker.

The only thing about the Torker is that it has the Alex-DX32 rim wich
is a great rim.

One more thing I forgot to mention. The Torker has 127mm cranks and the
Qu-ax has 145mm. Shorter for street and preference (I like them
better). Longer for control.

Cheers. 😎

cold forging, means that the metal was forged cold... This doesnt really
make it stronger at all, but generally would mean more car has to be
taken, and that it was not melted into a mould.

Drop forging is much stronger for example but yields can be poor.

I heard some really good things about the hoppley. And considering the
price difference between the two, i'd go for the Torker....

go with the qu-ax. the torker is almost a pound heavier but the crown
isn't as wide as the quax if hitting your legs is an issue.

I think the QuAx is probably better. I don't know. They are both good
intermedate trials unicycles. There are lots of threads about both, so
search around the forums.

Shipping across the pond could be pricey though.
I'd put the fattest tire I could fit on my learner. Maxis makes a
2.25X20" in slick (saw it at my LBS, I think it was a Ringworm) and
'knobby' (http://www.maxxis.com/shop_maxxis/product_detail.asp?id=93),
and save my money and get an Onza or even a KH.
But given this price range, I'd get the Qu-Ax if you like longer kranks
or 'this ' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=940)Nimbus
w/ 127's.
