  1. Which trials uni is best and why, (if you have reasons)?

    Onza
    KH20
    QU-AX
    Nimbus

    All are 20'. I'm looking to buy one but don't know which. Feel free to
    suggest any alternatives.

  2. Onza makes a 20 foot trials uni now!? I want one!

    Seriously:
    Onza's are fine, but KH's are great. I don't know about QU-AX, but
    nimbus is a fine starter trials uni.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown out?

  3. I always get feet and inches mixed up. But I'll remember now. anyway
    thanks for the reply. I was thinking Onza or KH but wasn't sure if it
    was this years Kh or last years Kh that wripped up your ankles. Do you
    or anybody know.

    thanks for the reply.

  4. Last years.

    If I'm not mistaken, Darren Bedford now sells a "fix" to last year's
    crank nub problem. (The problem is also non-existent if you don't mind
    wearing hi-top shoes. Personally, I wear the high-tops just because I
    want a little extra ankle support; the ankle/nub protection is a side
    benefit).

  6. Cute puppy!!!

    As for the uni, it doesn't look that bad it's self. I can't tell about
    the nubs, but when you order it, just ask them to make sure they ship
    one without any nubs on the cranks, it's simple.

  8. Quoted message said:

    Cute puppy!!!

    I'm sorry to have to tell you this but it's not real...:p

    Anyway, Onza's are nice and feel nice and light and still are quite wide
    (which some like),

    QU-AX, i know people who find the frames too wide but I love my
    wheelset, think it's gotta be not too far off profile for strength and a
    lot cheaper.

    Nimbus is very good beginer trials uni but are pretty easy to bend/break
    so if u have the money go for onbe of the others.

    KH's are very nice, the frames nice (and has quite a low crown-good for
    coasting and one footed etc.) but i dont think the hubs are as strong
    and tend to make a lot of noise.
    hope this helps you make your decision.
