    but is it stronger

    EDIT: I presume that as you are the one who started the thread that was
    intended as a question. Please ignore my slightly assholesque previous
    answer if you saw it.

    The main benefit of ISIS is that it allows components from different
    manafacturers to be interchanged, whether it is stronger than other
    specifications of spline or not is not a simple matter of record. It is
    certainly comparable in strength.

  2. You're prob fine up to 2 ft, but even if you never jump down more than a
    curb, eventually you will need to replace your cranks and hub.

    Not all ISIS systems are strong. Koxx-One and Qu-Ax make both light
    and strong versions. So don't assume just because it says it's ISIS
    it's burly. Also Koxx isn't interchangable w/ anything else.

    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.- Bob Burnquist

  3. Probably. The 05 series KH use a 20 mm axle. These seemed really strong,
    and used the cheapest bearing on earth, the legendary 3 billion sold
    each year 20x42 x 12 mm wide .

    For a uni ISIS standard to replace the 20 mm axle, they(all makers)
    went to 22 mm. This is stronger, all other factors held constant, then
    a smaller size can be.

    In doing so, a new , screwy, 22x42 bearing size was needed. The non
    legendary, uni only, a few thousand sold each year, 22x42x12 mm. That
    is why you can buy a 20 x 42 bearing for 1 $, but must pay 8 $, for a
    22 x42 , only found in a uni shop. This is a petty unimportant comment
    on costs, but I'm like that.🙂

    I think square hub unis can be a great deal. Cranks are 5 x cheaper,
    and you can get an uber light ax torker for < 200 $

    Rather then bust your square drive hub, I would suggest finding a good
    deal on a KH 19, once you decide that you want to jump a lot. If you
    break your square hub, I would fix it with another rim or square hub
    cheap from UDC, and learn not to beat on that uni so hard.

    The best way to get a trials uni is to find a good deal on a KH and buy
    one. The cost of multiple shippings, parts, assembly etc. , makes
    buying a cheaper uni, and fixing parts as they break, the sad way to
    go. 🙁

    At your weight, it's kinda your call. I'm sorta fat so I don't hop on
    my square drive unis. You might get away with it.
