looks pretty good, but I would recomend plastic pedals since at least
95% of the time, grip will not be an issue, and they will hurt alot less
(not to mention being able to practice in a gym) also, a higher quality
wheel would not be a bad idea; some tricks put a fair amount of stress
on it. Those blue dust caps were out of stock a few days ago (I tried
to order a pair--ended up changing to black ones, but they might be in
stock now)

overall it looks like an awsome uni!

This would probably end up being a christmas gift that I would have to
peice out between multiple people looking for something to buy for me.
How is that saddle for freestyle? Anybody use it, or think one is
better? I just saw semcycle, good color, and thought it should be
good

Looks good, but I would get a different seat (KH gel or LX) and a
hookworm tire.

well heres what i rekon, as for the pedals definatel go for plastic, u
can use them in more places, easier on legs, will hold up fine to the
relatively low stress caused by freestyle riding. As for the rim, yes
get a strong rim because when doing seartain tricks the wheel is subject
to taco quite easily. And for the frames it is entirely up to you but
word on the street is that nimbus 2 style frames are better for
freestyle because you are able to sorta put your foot into the crown
(sorta) and push out onto the top part of the upward tubes of the fork
and therefore u have more control and your foot wont slip. hope this
helps

Nimbus II frame is better than the sem longneck? Can anyone back that
up?

save pedals, I have teh same uni you do, except the seat and rim are
blue.

The dust caps are definitely worth it, but the bike euro cranks don't
fit well onto the UDC hub. Check out Qu-ax or something instead.

I used to use a KH seat, but after a bit of getting used to it, the Sem
is fine now. If you care about comfort or plan to ride far at all, get a
KH though :p

The Sem Longneck / primo 2.1" combo is absolutely sweet, you will have
one hell of a manoeuverable uni, pirouettes are a breeze, even on
pavement. Jumping sucks though.

Also, if you go for 110mm cranks, and you're used to 125s, you'll find
idling makes your legs a lot more tired than before, and that you lose a
bit of control until you get used to them.

I'm rockin' the 110mm's, and my cruising speed has definitely increased,
though.

hope this helps!

Sorry for double post, but i just realized this will be cheaper than the
hookworm. IS the hookworm better somehow? I think this would look a
lot cooler

I have bike euro cranks. They don't fit that well. 🙁

I get by though, no major problems. One of my friends has a UDC hubbed
29'er, and the Qu-Ax cranks go all the way onto the axle. That's why I
suggest them.

The 'wall' and 'hookworm' tire preference is just that - preference. The
hookworm is a higher psi tire, although I've read that the primo has a
nicer feel. Never having tried the hookworm I can't really say. I got
the primo cause it comes in blue. 😄

as for a picture of my uni..

That uni looks awesome, I wish I could see what mine would look like
before hand with the different color. I think those primo pedals would
look cool and i like grip because sometimes my shoes get wet and that
really annoys me with pastic pedals.

I have blue primo tenderizer pedals. I like them--for muni. They are big
and a little heavy, but grippy.

If you dont mind giving up the blue pedal color, go for odesey twisted
pc plastic pedals, very grippy, and soft plastic.
