  1. I was thinking about getting the hardcore 24" qu-ax muni.
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=796
    I was wondering what you all thought. I don't have a whole lotta money
    and I need somthing -Really- strong. My dx can't take drops over 7'
    anymore and I was wondering if this would hold up to lotsa high drops
    and really rough terrain... I was thinking about the new KH's but I
    don't have enough money.🙁 It looks really groovy, but I wanna know
    what you think. Thanks!!

  2. YES YES YES!! I can't vouch for 7' drops, but lotsa 3' drops for me,
    sometimes 4' with little rollout.

    The rim is beastly strong!!! It's like 45 mm wide, and it is most of
    the weight of the uni. It comes stock with a 3" tire, a big plus, and
    the crown has an extra reinforcement sleeve where it attaches to the
    seatpost tube. The frame is amazing, and in my opinion, the cranks are
    awesome, I've never heard of anyone bending/breaking them.

    8 bajillion feet. my cranks squeak every now and again after that one:o

  5. I have that uni. I haven't done any super-high drops yet, but I'm
    planning on. It seems it's really strong. It's a great unicycle. I'd
    go for it if I were you.

  7. One thing about the pedals, they're not very grippy (they're not
    pinned). They're great pedals (lightweight, good bearings) but when
    you're feet get wet, or if you're wearing hiking boots or something,
    you're feet will slide around.

    That problem is easily fixed, though. Get some other pedals.

    .
    it looks bad ass tho

    Huh?

    Don't you still have a Torker DX?

    Anyway, I can vouch for Qu-Ax (actually I would anyway) I've had the
    trials for a year and some months. But with any unicycle, drop hight
    depends entirly on the landing, the rollout, your weight, all that
    stuff.

    But it's pretty strong. As for pedals, a lot of unicycles come with low
    end pedals, you can't judge a unicycle by what pedals it comes with.

  11. A few things:

    The rim is not 'beastly strong. I know someone who put a flat spot in
    one, and they don't do many big drops at all.

    Second, the drop height it will take depends on many things such how
    you do your drops and how much you weigh.

    LOL I had my eye on this thread for a while waiting for you to bring up
    my flat spot...
    I honestly think it's just cause I would never "roll out" of drops.
    Not rolling out would mess up any rim. I would think too that 24's are
    more susceptible to this over a 19.

    Anyways I really like mine (even though I put a flat spot on my rim).
    I'd reccomend it.

  13. The wheel comes stock a little undertensioned (in my opinion). I put it
    on my stand and tightened the spokes a little and trued it. That
    probably helps my wheel a lot strength wise. Also, if you rotate the
    cranks periodically, the same portion of rim shouldn't always get the
    stress.

    Was that the old rim (narrower, with some groove things on the sides)
    or the wider, stronger rim?

  16. I love my QU-AX 24. I've had it for a year and had no problems with it.
    My wheel has been dead true since i got it, and my rollouts kinda suck
    sometimes I think I have the older rim that isn't as strong too. My
    cranks are still strait too. The pedals aren't very grippy, they are
    pinned, bu the pins aren't removable and there small. Other than that,
    this is an excelent uni. I would definately got it if I were you.

  17. I was jumping down some picnic tables today and the uni(24" QU-AX) is as
    strong as ever. Just thought I should let you know.

  18. Is there any way to get the 20" qu-ax with shorter cranks? All I can
    find is 145mm ones.
