  1. I was messing around in photoshop and i changed the colors on the DX ๐Ÿ˜„

    They should make some new colors because when they're all red it gets
    boring :p
    I would really want the orange

    Why did they make it bigger?

    They made the frames stronger with some extra reinforcement. Not sure
    why they added so much extra space between the tire and the frame. I
    think they got some sorta feeback about how extra clearance is good for
    muni. If you noticed they have brake mounts on the 20" so I think they
    thought that the 20" was also used alot for muni and threw in the
    clearnance. Or maybe thy thought a shorter tube on the frame would mean
    less chance of it breaking?????

    Really, you got me.๐Ÿ˜•

    Why mad? Both my muni and my current trials unis are DXs, luckily I got
    them before they ruined the clearance. They are good unicycles,
    especially for the money but as far as the current frame goes they had
    to have had no idea what they were doing.

    before you get to the point you have 2 decent unis, make one of them
    good. (KH, koxx, profiles, etc)

    I agree, though the muni version of the DX is so much better than the
    trials version, I can't quite explain but it also feels lighter than
    the trials.

  14. uhh
    that is exactly how much clearance all the DX's have, your unicycle
    does not have 4-6" of clearance, that is the same frame without the
    added gussets for strength, i have my doubts about the uni, but don't
    hate with false info... thats lame

    i think their is a reason you cant explain the dx feeling lighter.
    maybe because stock and stock the muni has more material in the frame,
    cranks, rim, tire, tube. it might be but i dislike both because (one
    of many reasons) the cranks are too short.

    I've seen the reinforced frame next to the unreinforced frame and the
    reinforced one certainly has much more clearance. It is definitely not
    false info.

    Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying but that only supports the
    fact that it doesn't make sense, the muni clearly has more to it - its
    larger but with very similiar components yet it still feels lighter.

  18. I always thought the dx looked like some childs transformers toy or
    something... really ugly IMO, especially the rectanglular frame in
    black and red - which somehow to me just makes it look really...
    cartoony?!

    Agreed, for me atleast, the 125mm cranks are next to useless for
    trials.

    For street riding on the other hand they a great.
