  1. Well my dx frame is cracked and my Kris holm gel saddle is bending. Now
    I was wondering if I would be tall enough to ride with the nimbus ll
    long neck frame on my unicycle. I have asked udc if it fits on a
    trials tire and they said yes. I would like to have that frame but I
    wanted to know if it would fit first. Next is what would be a good
    seat base to get to replace my old one. So can someone help me with
    chooseing a frame and seat base

    erm
    your frame will be replaced by torker, the seat is history. the
    stiffener plate is more than likely broken. You can either get 2 new
    stiffener plates and weld them together or you can get a carbon fiber
    seatbase.

    most people get the nimbus 2 frame, its freaking good.

  3. I think I'm going to go with the one carbon fiber base from udc and put
    it on there. I also think I might buy the long neck nimbus 2 frame to
    see if I am tall enough and if I'm not I'll try cutting it down a
    little because I want a long neck frame. After the frame finally
    breaks I think I'll get the replacement from torker also

  4. Isn't the nimbus II frame a freestyle frame though?
    And it sounds like you're doing trials...I might be wrong, I'm not
    sure, just want to clarify.

    Standard nimbus 2 frame is a very strong muni/ trials frame.
    I think the nimbus long neck may be a free style frame

    I'm going by what udc said but I don't know I think I'm going to try
    it. Another thing is it's the 2007 nimbus x frame not nimbus 2 frame

    i dont know that you should try this. it only has a 22.2 mm seatpost
    instead of 25.whatever. It will break easier

    plus it says minimal tire to frame clearance for freestyle tires. i
    dont think i would try a trials tire

  11. if you're getting a long neck, get 'this'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=849) one, not 'this'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=975) one.

    If I get a long neck frame I think I will get the one you said to get
    instaed of the one I was looking at. The one you said to get looks
    like it would be stronger plus it's cheaper

  14. I didn't beat the edit time so I just made a new post. I was wondering
    if I got the "Gemcrest carbon fiber seat frame by: Roger Davis" seat
    frame from udc and I drilled the holes to fit the kris holm handle and
    bumper if in the future I could get a death grip handle and bumper and
    put on the same base
