  1. I was surfing through Uni.com's website and found this unbelievable deal
    on new 2004 Onza Munis. Why buy a Torker DX when you can get an Onza
    for $40 more?

  4. What exactly is the difference between the 2004 and 2005 models to merit
    such a price difference?

    Judging by the descriptions, there is no difference, except perhaps the
    2004 is just leftover stock😕

    Is having the 05 KH/Onza Hub crank set worth that extra money
    considering what is already one there? I'm not entirely familiar with
    the strength of the '05 compared to the '04.

  12. No.
    Someone forgot to CALCULATE the fact that the Torker sucks.
    People break them a lot, AND it cannot take a 3" tire.

    unicycle.com does not always have the best deal.this is the case
    here.

    paying $205+shipping for a T-DX is a compleat rip-off.

    Oh ... ? Is that so ...?

    You haven't been reading much here anymore ...?
    Or you have short term memory problems ...? ( too much dope smokeing
    ..?)

    Take a look .. there was a tread just recently about 3" tires and
    torkers ...

    There are several members here with 3" tires on thier torkers...

    I haven't see anyone say the DX sucks .... just you ..

    No wonder you get so many arguements here ... You really have a bad
    attitude. *

    Locally, (and on the Internet) I've seen more broken Torker frames (and
    unis) that any other modern unicycle.

    You are correct that I have a bad "attitude" regarding that product. It
    comes directly from how I have seen the product perform.

    You are incorrect for ironically saying I have a bad attitude, while at
    the same time making a personal insult towards me. (Do us all a favor
    and raise these comments with me at CMW rather than address them
    here.)
    IF you have a personal ego attachement issue with a sub-standard
    unicycle product, THEN *you* have issues.

    In fairness to the company that makes Torker, I have heard that they are
    very easy to deal with when their product breaks.

    Contrarily, I've seen a nice ABSENCE of Onza complaints (and KH/Onza
    2005 as well).
    That's what this thread is about: Appreciating (and calculating) the
    value of the product in the subject line.
