  1. Well i have been unicycling for 2 years with an ordinary unicycle and
    now i want to have one better. That will be good for drop and hop. I
    though the KH 20 trial unicycle will be good for me.
    I dont want that the rim break when I do some big drop. My weigh is 130
    pounds.

    Is the KH 20 trial will be good ?

    If no, what will be the best for me ?

    Thanks.

  2. you're either going to want the kh20 or the onza trials. you can't go
    wrong with either. people could debate forever about which is best and
    there have been approximately five hundred threads concering this
    topic.

    save yourself the time and just flip a coin

  4. Go for the KH because you can order it directly from Bedford in Toronto.
    His phone number is at bedfordunicycles.ca Don't bother looking at the
    rest of the dite it is essentially worthless. It's way out of date and
    he has much larger stock.

  5. Hi,

    I've got a KH20 Pro, and that thing is overkill!

    Heres my specifics:

    AlexDX32 19" Rim
    Luna 20"x2.50" Trials tire
    Profile drivetrain
    Oddyssey Jim C. unsealed pedals.
    KH20" Pro frame (hey I didn't want to wait until the regular frames came
    back into stock at Unicycle.com)
    Thompson Elite seatpost.
    Kris Holm Rail Adapter
    Kris Holm seat.

    The only thing bad about the uni is the price: $1300.00 USD. But hey,
    the only things to go bad on it in the next year are the pedals, seat
    (it does flex, maybe I'll switch to carbon fibre base, and new fusion
    cover with an air pillow), and tire. If I keep the wheel true, and
    grease my Profile set-up I'll be fine.

    The thing is bombproof. I've been nervous that it's handled stuff my
    other uni never could. I do drops or hops/jumps, and get off right away
    to inspect the damage, and I can't believe the thing is still in great
    shape aside from nicks and scratches. The wheel is still true!
    Amazing!!

    It will eventually make up for its high cost, through years of
    use/abuse!!! It was so worth it!!

    Later,
    Evan

  7. I do like 6feet drop. The kh 20 trial cycle will resist to it?

    Thanks a lot.

  8. I went with the KH 20 Trials Unicycle and I love it, It seems like a
    very solid built unicycle.
