    I have literally a $10 wheelset, so it's just really bent and crappy.
    I'm looking for a new one but I went on unicycle.com and there's three
    pages of them. So I need help choosing the right one. I'm looking for a
    wheelset that's under $200 with cranks or a wheelset with no cranks for
    under $100. I'm into street but I'm a beginner and I don't plan on
    doing anything to intense with trial, so I DON'T NEED TOP OF THE LINE!
    So don't recommend the most expensive thing, because I already know
    thats the best. I probally want splined cranks so I don't need to by a
    crank extractor and they're stronger. Only the U.S unicycle.com please.
    Thanks for your help. Joe.

    I say get a nimbus or dx rim whatever floats your boat and either a kh
    or qu-ax crankset they are out of kh now and should get some in soon.
    Spokes will be like 20-30 bucks so yeah a little, bit over 2hundo, but
    if you go kh you can use that for street, flatland and trials. A bunch
    say moments are the best for flatland at least from what I hear and
    tons of street riders use them also they don't have the nub!. You can
    grind that off though.

    Anybody have a recommendation that has at least a hub rim and spokes
    included. Also, where can you get kh parts in the u.s because I only
    see them on the u.k site and that means $70 shipping.

    Well, if you only want parts of the UDC US site, that limits the options
    on hub+crankset, as they have very few hubs.

    I'd say get the Qu-Ax yellow hub and 145 cranks, Nimbus 48h Trials rim,
    and 48 spokes. That's a $179 wheelset. That's a pretty awful street
    hub, though.

    If you ordered a lightweight hub+crankset, like the Qu-Ax ISIS light,
    or the KOXX ISIS light, it'd be lighter, shorter cranks, and maybe
    cheaper.

    I just looked around on the municycle.com website, and you can get a 19"
    KH 07 rim, Moment hub, and a set of lightweight ISIS cranks for $177
    shipped. Add $18 for spokes, and that's a $195 wheelset, shipped.
