  1. Greetings all!

    I have a Nimbus Trials and the hub/cranks are going to give up pretty
    soon. Here are my options:

    1) *It will cost around £90 for a new crankset and pedals on my nimbus
    trials.*
    (i have a dodger trainer to sell, the price £90 is assumng i will get
    £30 for it)

    2) sell dodger and nimbus. £30 for the dodger, £60-£70 for the nimbus,
    giving me £100 towards a new uni.

    That will mean I will need to spend:
    £140 on a Koxx Devil
    £110 on an Onza Trials 2005
    £75 on an Qu-ax Splinted Trials 2005

    REMBER: I WILL HAVE £100 (HOPEFULLY) FROM SELLING THE NIMBUS AND DODGER
    WHICH CAN GO TOWARDS MY NEW UNI [/B]

    AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S CHEEPER TO BUY AN ONZA THAN A NIMBUS
    TRIALS WITH SNAFU PEDALS AND A KH CRANKSET!!!

    _QUESTION_TIME_
    * DOES ANYONE ACTULLY KNOW HOW GOOD THE KOXX ONE DEVIL UNICYCLES ARE?
    I'VE SEEN YOGGI DO LOADS OF CRAZY JUMPS WITH THEM BUT THAT MIGHT JUST
    BE DOWN TO HIM BEING GREAT!

    * THERE WAS SOME BUSINESS WITH CRANKS AND HUBS BEING WEAK OR SOMETHING.
    ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

    *I WANT A UNICYCLE THAT WILL LAST ME, PRACTICALLY, FOREVER. SOMETHING
    THAT I WON'T HAVE TO BE WORRYING ABOUT UPGRADING OR BREAKING!
    *COUGH* NIMBUS TRIALS *COUGH* 😉

    *I'M LEANING TOWARDS THE ONZA OR THE DEVIL. IS THE DEVIL, £30 BETTER
    THAN THE ONZA? IS IT WORTH JUST GOING FOR THE QU-AX? WILL THAT DO
    BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT I CAN?

    I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO DO!:CONFUSED:

    [B]ANY HELP WOULD BE FANTASTIC!!!

    -Andy

    PS. I'm from England so please refer to www.unicycle.uk.com
    PPS. No disrespect to the KH but it's a whopping £310 here! £70 better
    than a Koxx Devil? I doubt it 🙂

  3. The Onza has the best Hub/Crank set. So I'd do that.

  6. I'm so less confused! Thanks.

    Onza's looking the best. It seems more sturdy and generally better than
    the Qu-ax. Not a huge different, but it might make all the difference
    😉

    Does the onza have an Onza/KH hub? They're £115 on unicycle.uk.com!

    I want a Kris Holm, but £310! Wow.

    If I sold my nimbus and trainer I would prob get £70, making the Onza
    about £140.
    Instead of buying an Onza, what upgrades could be made to a Nimbus
    Trials for £140?

    Any news on the Koxx Devil?

    Any comments or opinions appreciated

    gonna upgrade to the koxx devil almost certinaly. because it looks
    generally nicer.

  8. Yeh, I'm deciding between the two. I'm a little wary of the Koxx Devil,
    there were some design errors with the hub or the cranks. Definately
    ask around before you put your money anywhere. And tell me if you hear
    anything!

  9. I would go for the Koxx over the Onza myself.

    But if your worried about it, the Onza can probally do just about
    everything the Koxx can....

  11. Yeh probably. Have you seen the Koxx videos? Amazing!
    www.koxx-one.com
    Why would you go for the Koxx over the Onza? What uni do you own?

    Thanks

  12. I was in the same dilema and got the Onza, it does have the Kh/Onza
    crankset. The only difference betwene the onza and Kh is the rim and
    frame, otherwise they are more or less identical. The Koxx is lighter
    than the Onza, but not by too much, but the crank design is radically
    different and doesn't have as much Q-factor as i like (the amount the
    cranks bend away from the wheel). Also, it seems theres been problems
    with the crank pedal interface, the pedals come lose continually or
    strip their threads occasionaly, but i think this has been sorted now.
    The Onza is completely solid and trustworthy, I don't think the Koxx is
    worth the extra cash.

    Well I have a Qu-Ax. They are very sturdy and I'm happy with it, but
    both the Koxx and Onza are better.

    I dont know why, just because the Koxx is lighter, has an ISIS hub, and
    after seeing what Yoggi and even Xavier do to it, I wouldn't worry
    about breaking anything on it.

  17. Yeh Dave, the Onza does look very solid and the Koxx seems to have a
    history of problems.

    Roger from Unicycle.com even said that the KH/Onza hub design was
    stronger than the Koxx. If anyone's opinions are worth paying special
    attention to, it's his!

  18. FORGOT to mention:
    Even unicycle.uk.com says that they recommend buying another seatpost
    to use for trials to replace the Koxx steatpost. That's just another
    pain. How many more of them would appear if I bought one?
