  2. I'm shopping also. The nimbus 20 looks good to me!
    Perhaps with a hookworm in the future.

  4. If your looking for a balance for trials and freestyle I would say just
    get a low end Trials Unicycle, that means one with a Mod Tire and 19"
    rim. You will still be able to do most freestyle tricks on it and you
    have the right tire to be able to ride trials with no worries. This
    doesnt reallly work in reverse a mid range freestyle unicycle probably
    will not be good for doing trials on at all.

  6. well, I really wish they'd make the dx with a 19" rim. that would make
    so many people's life easier.

    If you don't want us riding on your concrete, don't make it in such damn

  9. Definatly agree with Checkernuts, if you willing going a bit over budget
    consider the 'splined quax'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=795) (picture can be
    seen 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/65s95) ) if you want it for trials, you
    wont have to worry about bending/replacing cranks, which can start
    adding up.
    It may be a bit heavier than a freestyle / non splined uni, but you soon
    get used to the weight.

    (if you get the quax, make shure you get the 2005 model as the older
    frames were 'wide & heavy' (http://tinyurl.com/59md4) )

    Or just give Darren from Bedford unicycles a call / email tell him how
    much you willing to spend & what you want to do with it and he will tell
    you what he can offer you.

  10. I got the 2005 QU-AX 20" trails unicycle a few weeks ago, I mostly ride
    city-trials, but I also go offroad, communter and a lot of freestyle
    too. I'm a level 4 rider, but I can do tricks up on level 7. For my use,
    the QU-AX is perfect!

    Alst notice the differenct between the 2004 and 2005 Ktris Holm seat!
    Huge difference in comfort and in the handle!

    A friend had the 2004 model, and quite as they say, it is heavy and
    slow. Fortunately for him, he had to change the frame and got the
    2005-model frame for free and thus a better uni.
