which uni???????????

well the torker cranks are weak because they are cotterless, but you are
looking at freestyle unis so they will all be cotterless. Just don't do
trials with those.

they both have relatively equal cranks, the torker appear to be slightly
stronger but dont quote me. i have an lx its holding up pretty good for
street/light trials. the pedals are [censored], ive broken the handle(easily
fixed with the yoopers fix) and bent the cranks, but i think i would
buy the nimbus because a kh saddle is about a million times more comfy
than the lx (or so ive heard) scale of 1-10 for cheaper "the next step"
unis i would say the lx is about 7.5

also the nimbus has shorter cranks witch can make a big difference.

Nimbus has a better saddle and tire..
The cranks/hub are pretty much the same I think, Nimbus might be a bit
stronger, but if you're not doing drops it shouldn't give you problems
anyway. If you go for the Nimbus get a 2 bolt clamp instead of a
quickrelease though, saddletwisting AND safety, I remember my
quickrelease hurt.

i read a few reveiws on them both and people said that you could do 2
to3 foot drops on them if i get a kh seat for the lx do you think it
would be as good as the nimbus or would i have to change the tire to a
maxis hookworm ...........oh yeh and im going to be selling my trials
uni so if anyones interested pm me

Sounds okay, if you're going to do real freestyle you'll probably want
the hookworm tire, brb, going to yell at Amanda for a sec to post here,
she's THE freestyler. YES THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT. Jesus.

No unicycle has a set maximum dropheight. The biggest factor in
determining the dropheight is your own technique. If you can roll out
pretty good, I think 3 foot drops might be OK. To be honest, on a
freestyle unicycle, I wouldn't go beyond 1 foot. And your cranks will
still bend. Just, the lower the drops, the slower it goes.

Go Nimbus because:

- Double walled rim (vs. single on Torker)
- Better tire (it's a Kenda Kikzumbut instead of the pictured
Hookworm)
- Lighter aluminum cranks (vs. steel on Torker)
- Better pedals (vs. Torker's cheapo Welgos)
- Stronger seat post clamp (vs. whimpy and bad quality quick release
on Torker)
- Sweet powdercoated frame (vs. easily scratched paint on Torker)
- I have one... 🙂 (vs. Harper who has the Torker...😉 😉 )

i dont know much about lx's, but the crown looks a lot wider than the
one on the nimbus x. i used to have a nimbus x frame and hated it
because it was so narrow and far from the tyre! i couldnt do any stand
up tricks and even tricks like glide and coasting were hard to do as my
feet kept slipping off the frame.

the lx seat is better for freestyle too. the kh seat on the nimbus is
too bulky for freestyle imho.

the shorter cranks on the nimbus are better for freestyle, but overall
i think thats just about the only thing better, so i would say get the
torker lx

thats my opinion for freestyle. For street and trials i recommend you
do not buy either of those unicycles. even if you dont have much money,
the nimbus trials would be a lot better than a unicycle with a narrow,
freestyle tyre and rim.
anyone feel free to correct me if the torkers actually poo, ive never
seen one nevermind riden one.

I can standup wheelwalk just fine on my Nimbus X. The frame is actually
a Nimbus Longneck, but the crown width and height is exactly the same
as the regular black shortneck Nimbus X frame.

Here's a good shot of the frame. Again, although this is a different
frame, the only difference between it (Nimbus Longneck) and the Nimbus
X is the color (chrome vs. powdercoat black), and the longer neck.

you have small feet :p your only 12 or 13 so it doesnt matter much for
you. also when the nimbus frame is wet its uber poo for anything with a
foot on the frame.

Personally, no. I have a Torker LX seat on my Nimbus now just because
I used the KH for my Muni, but I really don't care between the two.

True dat! 😄

Wet ground is sucky for anything freestyle especially if it's a
wheelwalking skill. Gliding is fun to try when the tire is wet,
though! :eek:

this is kinda off topic but does the thickness of the wheel matter theat
much on how high you can hop?

Go Nimbus is your going to be doing more trials- related stuff
Go LX if your doing flatland or freestyle stuff

I personally have a DX and it is pretty awesome, I've had no trouble
with it imho.
