Why is this addressed to Forrest?

GG N00b.

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I asked about the title. From what I hear the Nimbus X
is an excellent freestyle unicycle. I have the Nimbus Hoppley which is
more for trials, but the frame is a Nimbus II, which I believe is
similar to that (if not the same as) on the Nimbus X, and it's a great
frame; very strong.

BTW, whereabouts in Florida do you live?

It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

Because he's so cool, obviously!

Ok fine, here's Forrest Rowell's expert opinion on freestyle unicyles:
A lot of freestyle stuff is over-rated. You can go all out and get all
the fancy equitment, expensive frame, etc. but it's not going to make a
huge difference or anything. Without having actually riden any of the
freestlye unicycles on UDC, I think the Nimbus X looks great.
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=743 The frame might not
be super strong or anything, but heck, if you don't break frames anyway
why does that matter?

Errr... Sorry but that's wrong.

*Nimbus X Frame (Light and small and weak)*
[image: http://www.unicycle.uk.com/Images/Shop/nimbusxxxframe20.jpg]

*Nimbus II (Heavy and big and strong)*
*[image: http://www.unicycle.uk.com/Images/Shop/nimbusiiframe.jpg]*

They're completely different :P. The Nimbus II can take tyres up to 3"
and the X only to 2.1".

The Nimbus II frame is designed for *trials and street*. Not freestyle.
The Nimbus X frame is designed for *freestyle. *Not trials.

Please don't buy a Numbus II frame for a freestyle unicycle, it would
be tragic.

burjzyntski, no doubt it was an honest mistake but please ensure that
you check your information: Unicycle.com is always there to look at so
there's no excuse 🙂.

Thank everyone for their help and advice, then buy what you want. I've
broken two or three frames doing Freestyle over the years. In those
days there wasn't such thing as a "Freestyle" frame, they were just
unicycle frames. A stronger frame is better for Freestyle than a weaker
one, long as it doesn't get in your way. So it depends on your level
and your size. If you're doing lots of stand-up tricks the Nimbus II
frame might even work better for you. If you're doing "frame walk" (the
trick that broke one of my Miyata frames) you'll probably do better
with the Nimbus II as well. If you're not real tall, the narrower
Nimbus X might be a better fit though.

Having ridden both the Nimbus X and the Torker LX 20" I would say the
frame on the torker is much much more useful, its got low clearance and
wide foot room. The LX is an amazing freestyle uni, the people that
complain about it breaking are the ones who use it like a street or
trials unicycle.

yeah the torker lx looks nice and cheap for freestyle.. people complain
about the saddle... but heck just buy a myata... or replace the
seatpost and get a kh or sommit.

'bout time jonny... you've been riding freestyle on that non-splined
thing for too long.

i agree you should just get an LX. they are as good as any, and it's
cheap!

Yeah it is... But the frame foot support on the LX frame isn't very
good.... at least, not for me. Besides, the new Nimbus X isn't all that
much more expensive', at like $175

And Brendan, the LX and Miyata seats are very very much alike, except
the Miyata seats have been out of stock for a long time.
