  1. I'm going to get this unicycle soon, but from the picture on
    'unicycle.com' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=585) it
    looks rather short. Is that just because the seat post is all the way
    in, or should I get a seat post extension? If so, is the KH 350mm one
    the right kind?

    I'm 6'3" so I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be to short. Oh, and
    I am intending on using it for trials 🙂

    Thanks 😄

  2. i have the same uni just with a profile set up. if you are 6'3" i would
    guess you are pretty heay, so i would go with the profile set up. i
    would guess you would bend the suzue hub pretty easy.

  3. Actually I only weigh 156 lbs. so I don't know if that makes a big
    difference but...

    Wow, thats a big price jump for the profile :eek: If I was going to
    spend that much I'd get a KH20 😉

  4. I can't answer your question about the post length. But, I would like
    to suggest looking into this cycle instead:
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=744

    It is very similar to the Yuni, but with a better hub. It's also quite
    a bit cheaper.

    One other thing, remember to order though this link:
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopaff.asp?affid=4
    It helps support the unicyclist.com site.

  5. Is the nimbus stronger than the Yuni? That was the other one I was
    thinking of getting, but I thought that the Yuni was better 🙂

    If the nimbus is better I'd be glad to get it instead 😄

  7. I got myself a United. I think that the nimbus is as good or better than
    the YUni, and since it's cheaper, it should be good.

    On my United, I've bent 2 sets of cranks. that's too many. However, I
    haven't bent the hub at all, so I'm not sure that would be a problem. I
    haven't seen any square taper cranks that are stronger than the hub, so
    you should be ok. However, I think you would be a lot happier with the
    KH. In my case I chose the United because-

    -the frames on the nimbus and YUni bash my calves when I hop. This is
    probably a technique issue, but i didn't like it.
    -I had no money for a KH, and I REALLY needed a uni, becuase all I had
    was a 26" Sun. That's not exactly the best for trials. :p

  8. I would have liked to get a KH but it was a bit out of my price range
    😄

    I went for the nimbus since it was cheaper and seemed to be pretty
    strong from the reviews.

    I was in the same situation as you when it comes to trials, since the
    only other uni I have is a KH24 (which is rather big and heavy 😉 )

    Plus for Christmas I got a cool trials setup with a ramp and such so now
    I just need to get the nimbus 😄
