  2. Which model unicycle do you have? All four lines of Torker unicycles
    are called Unistar. If you have a chrome torker, I don't think it's
    worth upgrading. If you have an LX or HD, you can upgrade the hub and
    cranks, but it will cost you a bit of money. If you have a DX, you
    already have a splined hub and crank set.

    So, tell us what you have and we can tell you what you can upgrade on
    it.

  4. torkers are 48 spoke wheels you migth consider keeping the frame but i
    would just buy a new wheel if you plan on upgrading the hub.

    and remember ladies and gentlemen all this done without the assistance
    of his unicycle.

  8. Get a splined hub/crank set, you will have to get your wheel re-built so
    while your at it you should get a fatter rim. So then you'll need a nice
    20x2.5" tire. But this wont fit on your frame so get a new one of those,
    and you'll probably want to upgrade to a KH seat aswell....simple!

  12. HD is for heavy duty. It was what the LX was called before they were
    called LX. In other words, they were the first generation Black
    Torkers.
