So do I. The splined Qu-Ax is a great trials, but when you get to
non-splined, I'm not sure about it. I'd be willing to bet the non
splined Qu-Ax hub is stronger than the Nimbus, though... I would trust
them more than Nimbus.

Also, the newer Qu-Ax's have a wider stronger rim than before, so that
part beats the Nimbus too. I've heard of the Nimbus rim having weird
problems...

I'd go for the Nimbus, for a few reasons:

Its got an eyeletted 36-hole rim, which is very strong and is
compatible with any other hubset if you break the hub and want to
upgrade. The 48-spoke qu-ax would mean you have to buy another rim as
well.

The tyre is better, I know it makes little difference but the Luna is
considerably better than the CC, it'll last longer and makes for a
nice, stable, controllable fold.

The hub is probably stronger, although not having had a cotterless hub
for trials I can't really tell. I'd say the difference would be
marginal if there is any.

Nimbus frames are bomb-proof, and the new 25.4mm dia. seatposts make it
much stronger than the older 22.2mm ones.

Proper KH saddle, not some cheap knock-off. It has a handle on it as
well... pretty critical for trials, really.

John will support any difficulties you may have through defects.
They're made & designed by UDC so they know what goes wrong. Roger here
in the UK has replaced cranks for free if they break or bend within a
certain time, so you can expect decent customer support for a UDC
unicycle.

Its cheaper.

Loose.

You can get the cross with or without a handle.

The seat isn't a cheap knock off, I like it better for trials than the
older KH's at least. It's thinner and flatter.

The new Qu-Ax rims are great, I've seen them.

or break the hub woulndt it be easier 2 buy qa-ax splined hubset or is
that same hub set compatable with the nimbus

No, the qu-ax is 48 spoke, the nimbus is 36. Doesn't matter either way,
if you break either rim UDC has replacments, although I HIGHLY doubt
you will anytime soon at the very least.

you can just email udc or call them, specify in your oder that you want
a handle. I don't think it costs extra....

I don't know about the nimbus but on the french forum there has been
load of threads on the "qu-ax Cross" subject...
what remains of all this is that you can break a Qu-ax cross hub on a
50cm drop (1.5 feet) if you weight more than 60 kg.😠
I think they get weak with time.

the 20, IMO, is great for street and trials, the weight isnt bad at all,
it took me about 10mins to get used to have an extra few pounds on
there, and it hold up great, most ive done on it so far are an 8-set
and about 5 foot drops, and the most that has happened is i broke a
tiny peice of the welgo pedal on my left, and the spokes have gotten
loose about 3 times, other than that, its great =p
