  4. Round crown frames only suck if you want to do foot on crown moves...But
    if you ride pure trials theyre grat...You never bash your knees.

    I assumed that rounded crown frames were a lot weaker than crown topped
    frames. Am I wrong?

    Mostly. The strength of a structure is related to its shape, but shape
    alone does not determine strength. Quality and thickness of materials,
    design and build/weld quality are all factors.

    And generally, frames are the last things to break on a unicycle so
    crown design isn't really an issue unless you need to stand up there.
