  1. Would you recommend the the Qu-ax 24 inch Muni with splined hub
    ("Special Edition"😉? I guess it'll be mostly used for riding through the
    woods (rough terrain) but not that much for doing high drops/jumps and
    the like.

  3. Ok, interesting. In my last posting I meant that _I_ am not going to use
    it for jumps (I really didn't expressed this very well) though it's good
    to know that this MUni is stable enough to do jumps (if I change my
    mind... who knows). Any other opinions? Would you maybe recommend
    another MUni for <= 250 EUR that's superior to the Qu-ax?

    The Qu-ax is good and strong. But they have a downside. I have ridden
    a Qu-ax trials and kept knocking my ankles against the nubs
    (protrusions) on the cranks (at the hub end). I think the 24" has the
    same feature. I'm not sure if they can be modified as they could in
    the old KH's. The new KHs have smaller nubs anyway. But then again,
    some people are not bothered by the larger nubs at all. It's something
    to consider and if possible, try before you buy.

  5. I got a Qu-AX trials last month and it had some problems. The right
    pedal fell off after just a few min and was beyond repair. Also there
    the axle was slipping in the hub. Apparently there has been a bad batch.
    I returned it on the 7:th of August and I still don't have a
    replacement. I'm not sure whom to blame, I'm sure that my dealer Fler
    Bollar i Luften are doing whatever they can. In any event I'm sick of
    waiting.

    So I suggest you make sure you get a good unit if you do order a
    Qu-AX.´

    I'm confident that I'll be happy with the replacement though if/when I
    get it :-)

    I got one day of riding on it or so and the nubs did not bother me at
    all. It was not much different from the new KH cranks to me.

  6. I got a Qu-ax trials 'special edition' 1 month ago.
    To date I havnt had any trouble with it at all.
    There isnt a problem with the nubs on the cranks either.

    Overall Im very happy with my uni.
    But, this is the only 'quality' uni ive rode or seen so ive got nothing
    to compare it to.

    And if you get it from Roland at municycle.com he will make shure there
    are no problems with it before he sends it.

    Cheers!
