  12. Wheelbuilding isn't all that hard (just time consuming). I did it on my
    second try. Search through the forums and there are plenty of threads
    on the topic. My suggestion would be to spend all your money on the
    cranks and new spokes (and a spoke wrench), and then build the wheel
    yourself.

  13. go for koxx one hub/cranks, then it'll be 36spoke and you can have a
    better choice of rims.

    you can get koxx one in the US 'Here'
    (http://www.renegadejuggling.com/Web_store/rev3k/index.html)

    they'll be less than $150, i think, and they're really light/strong.

  14. In my opinion people...

    1) Underestimate cotterless (square taper) cranks
    2) Underestimate splined cranks
    3) Think they need splined as soon as they are able to hop
    4) Argue about which splined setup to get when 99% of all riders
    couldn't break/bend/manipulate any of them.

    Save your cash, and if you haven't broken your cotterless yet, then
    don't replace them. Moms and Dads are also more likely to chip in when
    you say "Hey Mom, I need to replace my -broken- unicycle cranks and
    hub, and I was hoping you could help me out" instead of "Hey mom, I
    want some new cranks and hub for my unicycle because these are cooler
    than my old ones."

  15. Wheel bulding isn't hard. Follow sheldon brown's step by step thingy.
    You can lace the wheel then take it to a LBS to get it trued because
    that is harder.

  16. tyler you annoy me,
    1)ive warped my cotterless cranks beyond belief
    2)i know how strong splined ones are
    3)ive been hopping and dropping up to 4 feet on them for like 5-6
    months
    4)theres more things that could go wrong with a splined setup than just
    bending/breaking them

    and no my parents would never help me buy anything that big unless it
    was christmas and then they would still have a hard time doing it

    I'm sorry to hear that. I was just pointing some things out and had no
    intention at all of annoying anybody. Again, I appologize.

    unijesse said:


    1)ive warped my cotterless cranks beyond belief

    I didn't know that because your first post was rather vague. Plus, I
    wasn't just talking about you, rather the whole community for the most
    part.

    unijesse said:

    Please explain.

    unijesse said:

    See answer to #1.

    unijesse said:

    True, but you must remember that all splined setups I can think of are
    built to a quality standard that would be hard to beat. Again, I
    wouldn't complain if I got any of them.

    Yes, you were supposed to put the amount in the quantity box. Knowing
    UDC, they will probably figure it out, but they will need your
    permission (probably by e-mail) to charge you for all of the 36 spokes.
