  7. It's possibly not helped by the fact that because they sell to school
    groups, unicycle.com has to work through a content filter. If you put
    the koxx unicycle names on a webpage, it gets flagged as a drug related
    site, so a lot of schools can't access it.

  9. Because the new ISIS KH parts aren't compatible with the ISIS Koxx parts
    (when really, common sense tells you they should be) , UDC went with KH
    only to avoid the certainty of warranty returns from ham fisted
    attempts to pound it on anyway.

  15. UDC and Renegade are kind of comparable. I have bought stuff from both
    and they are both very good shops I think.

  16. UDC should be applauded for not stocking K1 stuff. Many unicycle
    retailers are extremely unhappy with the way Koxx does business, but
    bite their tong (which is quite understandable when so many people want
    K1 products). Unless Koxx feels the pressure they probably won't change
    their ways.

    Unfortunately there are so many unicyclists for whom look is more
    important than function and who therefore buy Koxx.

    that's the biggest load of rubbish i've ever heard.

    i have koxx hub and cranks, i didnt get them cause they look spiffy,
    theyre very well built cranks.

    theyre strong, i like the shape, they seem very well made and overall i
    am very happy with my purchase.

    my koxx hub and cranks are every bit as functional as kris holm or
    qu-ax hub and cranks.

    just because more people prefer KH than Koxx doesn't give anybody
    reason to bag koxx for having bad unicycles, personally i think theyre
    the best unicycles on the market.

    Hi, looks like we always bump into each other in threads like this 😉

    I understand your point of view. You spend lots of money on your uni
    (especially relative to your age), so you want it to be the best in the
    world. So if someone tells you that there are now better unicycles for
    the price it makes you kind of mad. But come on, get over it. You still
    have an awesome unicycle, and the most important thing is still the way
    you ride it.

    Four points (will I ever get tired of repeating this?):
    - Koxx is a pain to do business with for retailers (at least that is
    what I have heard).
    - Koxx is not ISIS and lies about it.
    - Koxx hub and cranks are more expensive than KH (at least in the EU).
    - Koxx cranks take far less abuse than KH's (no broken 07 cranks as far
    as I know, while it sometimes only takes weeks to wreck the Koxx
    reinforced cranks by loosening the insert).

    let's just agree to disagree, i really couldnt bo bothered writing up
    another arguement to the 4 points again and it's really going to get us
    nowhere.

  20. Koxx unicycles arn't terrible, they're pretty well made in fact.
    However, when a company produces fake ISIS and tells everyone that
    Qu-Ax, Kris Holm and Onza are out of spec that really pisses me off,
    what kind of an approach is that. They had to run lots of extra checks
    on the cranks and hubs because of one simple stupid comment from mister
    Benjamin Guiraud.

    Other things that bother me is that the Qu-Ax frame can be bought for
    19 euros and the Koxx frame that has the same build and weight is 49
    euros or some are even 59 euros. Koxx is overpriced, their products are
    ok but the way they represent their company and price their products
    doesn't suit me, for me that is a reason not to buy their products.
