The nimbus trials is not a very strong uni, but since you are probably
pretty light, it should las a little while. After a few months you
will likely break the cranks and hub. By then you should have saved up
enough money for a splined hub, so get a KH Moment crankset. Then you
will have a reasonably light trials/street uni.

The Nimbus street frame is lighter and a bit better for foot on frame
tricks, but the frame is not as strong.

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.

The nimbus II does come with a splined crankset now (at least in the
ISIS version not the freestyle version). So no worries about strength.

Well, not on UDC.

The Nimbus Street does, but I'm pretty sure the frame is not quite as
strong as the II, like I said earlier.

You're looking at UDC US, not Australia, where this guy is from. You
just don't have the new ISIS versions of the unicycles yet.

Even with the Nimbus Street, if the frame really was weak (I dunno what
makes one cheap cromoly frame weaker than another?), the replacement
Nimbus II frame costs about a tenth of the cost of upgrading a
wheelset.

Oh, I checked US and UK, not AUS.

Is that price right? The same price as the Qu-Ax Cross:eek: 😕
Both $400 AUS
P.S. Why are all these new ISIS hub unis seem to be coming from Aus.?

looking at those prices, I can't wait for UDC US to put up their new
stock on the site. Might get a nimbus trials with ISIS hub instead of a
KH.

Heres the actual specs from the website. Sorry for double post!

* Tough, time-tested Nimbus II chrome plated steel frame with large
25.4mm diameter seat tube.

* Machined bearing holders, to fit 42mm bearings. These are much
stronger than main cap bearing holders - good for plenty of grinding
and pedal-grabbing abuse.

* Super strong Nimbus ISIS splined hub. Specially designed by
Unicycle.com to take the abuse of trials and street riding. The future
is ISIS!

* Comfortable and stiffened Nimbus Gel saddle, in jet black. Ribbed
front handle has been redesigned to be stronger and more comfortable,
without adding any extra weight. Rear bash guard protects your seat
when dropped.

* Nimbus Reinforced Alloy seatpost in 25.4mm diameter. This nifty
weight-saver is the thickest aluminium unicycle seatpost there is!
Another innovation from Unicycle.com.

* 19" black Jetset eyeletted rim. Rims with eyelets are stronger than
those without and prevent spokes from pulling through the rim.

* Grippy Maxxis Creepy Crawler 20x2.50" trials tyre - its large volume
makes hopping easier and smooths out landing impacts.

* Strong cold forged aluminium Nimbus ISIS cranks in 125mm length

* DX alloy platform pedals with replaceable pins. You won't lose your
grip on these puppies!

* Double allen bolt seat clamp - holds the seat firmly in place

* Weight: an impressive 5.7kg

* Now comes with tools for assembly and tune-ups!

I'm trying to choose between a 20" Nimbus II ISIS and Nimbus X at the
moment as well. The difference in price is about AUS$30, with the
Nimbus X more expensive, and I'm wondering how do these unis differ?
I'm not keen on the trials uni, I'd rather a smooth tyre.

Although I'm a bit new to the whole splined hub thing, I gather they're
an all-round good thing. Which would make the Nimbus II better...
right? 😕

Just to be clear, both unis are on this page:

If you're intending to use this unicycle solely for freestyle then
having a splined hub is not super important. I've ridden a freestyle
unicycle with a square taper hub for years and had no problems with it.
Other than this the main differences between the 2 models are in their
frames. If UDC Aus had 'the new model of Nimbus X'
(http://tinyurl.com/yr65d5) in stock the choice would be easier - the
Nimbus X is a superior model. The older black frame is good, but has a
fairly large gap between the wheel and frame. This makes some freestyle
tricks harder (such as 1-foot riding, coasting, gliding and stand-up
wheel walking.) The Nimbus II is now on special and has a smaller tyre
to frame gap, so I'd go for this model.
