    Well, UDC hasn't updated the 06 Torkers yet, so that is for the old
    ones. However, I'm prety sure they are the same size.

    levels ($259).

  10. Woah! I just got it, and it is the first real trials unicycle that I
    have ever laid my eyes on. It looks so huge! I cant wait to ride it
    around tomarrow.

    I need to trim the seat post, though. It's a bit tall... And the
    cranks do look a tad shorter than they could be, but I should really
    try it out before I point out the bad things...

  13. I think the seat is different too. It's not as soft as the older one
    was. The seat post is a different size now, too, I think. The hub and
    cranks may indeed be the only original parts. I'm liking the pedals,
    though...

    yup.

    They are my first set of *real* pedals. They really stick to my shoes,
    and the pins are removable and the reflectors come out, so you can
    probably easily mount a grind plate on it if you feel the need.
    Totally awesome

  18. I am actually too thrifty to buy grindplates, I would just make some.
    It's not too hard, just bend up a piece of steel to fit right and put
    in a couple of bolts.

    You could also buy some of 'these' (http://tinyurl.com/cp9ay) if you
    felt so inclined. They would probably work better and weigh less.

    Just for you:

  19. or you could go down to your local grocery store and pick up a few of
    THESE: http://tinyurl.com/bt3ex

    and they'd probably make YOU weigh less than if you got some of
    Spudman's dealies over there.

    sorry... couldn't resist.🙄
