  1. I have the extra money for the Qu-Ax. But, is it worth the extra 70
    dollars more to get instead of gettin the DX. Im trying to get a lot
    better at trials and want a uni that will last for a year or so. so is
    it worth the extra money for the QU-Ax or should i just settle for the
    DX.

  2. Qu-ax is stong. It wont brake on you, if you just getting into trials
    like me(kinda). I have 2😄 2 fully working qu-ax 19"s Don't ask why I
    have two but I do. The only thing is the pedals. They aint very grippy.
    They work but you can get better one's when you have the money. I would
    recommend changing the saddle as it can get a bit sore, no good for
    SIF. But they are really tough uni's. ive dropped and thrown them and
    whatever. taken um from 5 and a half ft drops and stuff. Only like
    twice though, and never landed but still😄 The crank's dont damage on
    crankgrabs neither. It has a really bouncy maxxis creapy crawler tyre.
    Landed on my first unispin on it today so im happy.

    Have fun, cya

  4. I managed 17 180spins today. Put I could do alot more, tommoz when i
    rested. I hope😄. I was also doing other stuff today. It was a gd day
    for all 3 of us. My mate who just got a qu-ax 19" aswell😄 landed his
    first 3set and my other mate got 1ft pretty good know.

    cya

    p.s. First jump and spin the uni and land on the floor. Get someone to
    see what lands first te spin or your feet on the floor. Do that untill
    you spin it before you land. Then just put on your shin protection and
    aim for the cranks. JUST AIM FOR THOSE CRANKS. It's annoying but you
    will get it. I sound like and expert now😄 Far from it.

    Good luck!!

    p.s.s Go for the Qu-ax

  8. I don't have any experiences with the DX, I do have experience with
    Qu-Ax and they're some of the best unicycles out there, I'm not sure if
    they ship with the 2005 or 2007 saddle, the 2007 saddle is low
    profile.

    'This' (http://tinyurl.com/mqxeh) is the dream unicycle, the Qu-Ax with
    gel saddle and better pedals. Personally I'd go for the Qu-Ax.

  9. after all of these great reviews i think ill go witht the qu-ax, one
    more question though how high can you drop on it without it bending and
    i know the cranks are a little long and was wonderin if it makes a big
    difference witht he longer cranks?

  10. I've done 2 meter + to flat, my Qu-Ax didn't have a thing, even with the
    old model rim (the new one rocks this one), I walked around with my
    ankles in bandages for a week after though, so probably the unicycle
    will take more than -you- can.

    hmm
    lets compare
    DX... comfy seat... could be better ...
    quax ... same deal

    frame, i have never EVER heard of a quax frame breaking EVER!
    DX... you know, but 07 frames are WAY strong

    pedals... ooohhh my pedals are beasts, but broken (on the DX)
    quax... plenty grippy for me...but the DX are more grippy
    and don't break that easily at all, i drilled holes in mine...

    DX- seatpost- I broke mine, but I have never ever heard of anyone else
    breaking one
    quax- if its aluminum, they break commonly, if not, its real good, cuz
    i havn't heard of steel seatposts breaking constantly

    DX cranks, just as freaking strong as the quax
    i have taken it off of a 9 set and its fine (other than me messing them
    up "maintaining" on them)
    quax- indy structable (basically)

    DX rim- its ALEX and Alex = AWESOME + its 48 spoke so its slightly
    heavier(unnoticable, but ultrastrong)
    quax- bad rep w/ rims, but their new ones are Oh sO good(supposedly)

    Dx - good
    quax- a little better
    KH- OWNS... there is no need to compare

    the qu ax cranks are 145's. in my opinion the best all around length
    and it is good for trials because you need more torque

  17. I think the Qu-Ax cranks are 140 or 145 cant remember. More that i cant
    be assed to get my spare pair out the cupboard. Longer cranks for
    trials, shorter for street. Either way you can do both on it.
