    You are incorrect in your statement. That uni is not good.

    No. It's one of the worst unicycles that you can buy.

    The seat will bend, rip, and cut your legs. The seat is literally
    dangerous after the seat has hit the ground and gotten bent up.

    The bearing holders are one of the worst designs. The frame will crack
    where the bearing holders bolt to the frame. It doesn't take heavy or
    abusive use to crack the frame. Just regular riding can do it.

    So you've got a seat that can't survive repeated drops on the ground and
    you've got a frame that can't survive regular riding. It's not a
    unicycle that was ever designed to actually be ridden.

  4. My first Uni was one by Cycle Designs but it looks just like that, as
    far as the seat style and rounded fork go. I've been thuroughly
    impressed with its durability though. I've done 2 foot drops on it,
    ridden down stairs, done muni, and the thing keeps tickin. I wouldn't
    buy another one by any means, but I've had good luck with a similar uni.

    the seat is however horrendous. I'm actually swapping that seat out for
    my original torker seat...you know, the one that was made of fire and
    nails? Yeah that one. Just because it takes abuse way better than the
    CD/Savage seat and A friend of mine is learning on it.

  5. A while ago someone here asked what the five worst unicycles were. Two
    people answered "savage savage savage savage savage." Don't even think
    of buying it.

  7. It'll never sell. You can buy a new Savage for the same price, so if you
    did want to but a pile of stress, you could get it new, so you could
    blame the uni and not the seller... I mean if uni.com is selling seats 2
    for 1 then they must be trying to get rid of them...

  8. Well, I can't tell you to get it or not but i can tell you WHY to get
    it or not...it all depend on what your using it for....if its your first
    one and you don't plan on doing anything more than riding down the
    street (as in no jumping, riding on chunky ground, Muni ing, or trials)
    than it should be good for a bout 3 years or so. I had one almost
    exactly the same, but made by Norco. The frame FINALY split between the
    bolts (its been 4 almost 5 years, now belongs to my buddy) so before it
    got worse, we tied metal zip ties between the bolts to stop the
    spliting. Its working great now. Personnaly, I wouldn't buy it because
    i'm sure not just gonna ride around on hard flat ground.

    I agree that the savage saddles are death.

    thread jack:
    Nevertheless uni.com is also selling united saddle for 2 for 1, and let
    me tell you something about united saddles: They're good.

    yes, that's right. United saddles are good They take a beating, slip in
    and out with ease and have a great seat-out hand-rest.
    The only problem with them is their lack of handle. Now, if I could fit
    some sort of handle on there I will have created the best trials saddle
    ever.
    end thread jack:

    So yeah, dont' buy that uni.

    It is good, compared to like, a kick in the face, or a bullet in the

  16. I started learning on my brother's Savage but then the cotter pins
    rounded off. Don't have much experience with the seat, but the bearing
    design is terrible and I can't tell from the pic if those cranks are
    cottered, but if they are, they won't stand up to much.

  19. ok. first of all, obieone rides like every night, he just doesnt post
    about it always. its because swat is making a super secret video, and
    he's helping us. i ride all the time too, like last night even. i just
    dont feel the need to post everytime i ride. only when i have done
    something really awesome or extraordinary do i post, or when i have
    questions. just because someone doesnt post every day doesnt mean they
    dont ride every day. (i commute to school daily on my coker) also
    Allthingsuni, where are all your posts about when you ride, hmmm?
    second of all, a savage is bad, but i learned to ride on one! its not
    all bad, just dont hop. ever. EVER.
