    So I did a brief search... didn't see much.

    I want a uni, pref. 24". I was almost set on a torker lx (cheap
    enough, but supposedly non-crappy enough to last). Then i saw a
    "dimension"? It's slightly cheaper, and I can get both discounted
    about 30%...

    Is one better than the other? I am 21 years old, male, and about
    220lbs... So strength is a must...

    Thanks!

    But I am a huge fan of their 8 $ MTB and 10 $ city pedals. If their
    uni's provide anything near the value of their pedals, you will be very
    pleased with it.
    A E Bike had them real cheap a while ago, but now they only list a
    16" for 55 $

    I, myself, am a big guy (240 ish). I ride a Nimbus II and I love it.
    I've been riding off curbs and it seems to hold up ok. I need to learn
    how to hop onto stuff, but so far it seems like a good uni for what I
    use it for. It was a huge difference from the 24" Gravity uni I had.
    That uni now is with a friend who is learning. I think, for the most
    part, your first uni will be the learner. So if you go with cheap, its
    ok. You will upgrade sooner or later. Its the law!!

    I'm not sure you can extrapolate the quality of their unicycles from
    the quality of their pedals... 🙄 Most of the cheap unicycles
    are very similar (Sun, CyclePro, Dimension, Gravity, etc.), and very
    not good.

    Go with the LX.

    I wouldn't trade my DMR mag pedals for the dimensions. But they are no
    where near the deal, at 8x the price. I forgot what dimension was
    asking for a 24, but I think it was less then half as much $ as an lx.
    I would bet it is just as fine a learners uni, someone find out for us
    !🙂

    That be it...

    QBP has always had nothing worse than "half decent" for my bike
    selection... And I think they are the ones supplying this
