  2. Let's do some RESEARCH, shall we?

    Unicycle.com tells us that the Qu-Ax splined hub is 48 hole.
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=798

    The Alex Rims website lists the specs for their DX32 trials rim as the
    following: "19" x 2.125" 381x32 -36- 510G"
    http://alexrims.com/rims/mc_dx32.htm
    that little 36 dangling in the middle leads me to believe that the DX32
    rim is, indeed, 36 hole, which agrees with the personal observation I
    made about my own such rim.

    In conclusion, you might be able to use them both together, but it will
    require some clever spoke weaving to get proper placement (because the
    hub is 48 hole and the rim is 36).

    BOO-YAH!

    As does the 20" DX with the Alex trials rim.
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=764

    "Rim: Alex DX32 19" alloy double walled -48 spoke- trials rim with
    black spokes"

    One thing to keep in mind though is that there may not be enough
    clearance for a trials tire on the long neck freestyle frame.

  8. is this going to be a trials a muni or a freestyle uni?
    I dont think a trials tire would fit in a nimbus x frame unless i was a
    24" nimbus x frame. if its a freestyle uni i think a qu-ax hub and a
    dx32 rim is piont less and heavy. If its a 24" muni then a nimbus 2
    frame would be better
