  1. I have just ordered a Nimbus 36"😄 .

    I ordered a Kris Holm seatpost and adaptor, and some V brake adaptors
    as well.

    I can't wait till it comes now!

    Hey, I know that feeling! The waiting is the worst part... but just
    wait until you open the box! '(and it is a HUGE box!)'

    I'd love to see some decent photos of the V brake adapters once they're
    installed and set up though.

  8. Hey oldgeezers, so you went for the Nimbus? Sounds good.

    I'm waiting for my 36" as well...they said the wheelbuild would take
    3-4 days...and that was 8 days ago 🙁

  9. I've had mine for quite some time now and LOVE it!!! I've now officially
    topped out at 37.8 km/h it's SOO fast! I have 125mm cranks on it and
    plan on upgrading to 110's or 90's just because I love the speed so
    much I really want to break the 40 km/h mark! all you guys who are
    waiting for your 36'ers wil absolutely love them to death, I go soo sad
    when I first crashed it and scraped a bunch of paint off the T7, now
    the T7 is all beat up looking and my frame is all scratched from high
    speed upds...

    enough to take it to Mrytle Beach.

    and yea, I'm not looking foreward to scratching it for the first

    When I ordered mine it took about 3 and a half weeks to get to me. I
    ordered it through a local UDC store, and it took about a week for the
    order to be processed then it took about 2 weeks on top of that to get
    here because it is a custom Kovachi wheel build. I bought the Nimbus
    36" deluxe unicycle 125mm cranks, a nimbus gel saddle, 14 gauge spokes,
    the T7 handle, and a Magura Hydraulic brake. I don't think that anyone
    looks foreward to their first scratch

    Well, I wouldn't trust that too much. A couple days after I got my
    torker DX UDC still said my order hadn't been processed

  16. i remember when i first ordered my 36"

    good memories.

    it was a pain to buy ,though, because UDC had a special thing of how to
    pay for custom unis (my 36 nimbus had to be custom with an airfoil and
    whats not) but that would only go up to 999$, so i had to pay for it in
    two lots so i colud get to the total figure.

    but i definatly do not regret buying it, it's fantastic. props to UDC
    australia for getting it to me in such a quick time.

  18. My Nimbus didn't take that long to arrive, I have been out again today a
    couple of times, and I fitted the brake as you can see in the thread at
    the bottom.

    My free mounting wasn't as good today as yesterday, but I suppose it is
    early days yet. It is so smooth just cruising along though, it is
    great.
