Unicycle.com new items!

Hmm. I wonder what hub is on those new splined setups, and if UDC's
planning to offer it by itself. I notice that none of the new unis have
any limits listed like prior ones (you know, the disclaimers about them
being certified for riders 150 lbs going off drops no more than 12",
for instance). It'd be nice to have some new possibilities for making
stronger setups at a low price.

EDIT: Oh, I see that they're also featured on new Nimbus munis, too,
starting at very attractive price points. Splined munis with ISIS hubs
for less than a DX! I'll be interested to see how tough these puppies
are! Now they only need to put one of these hubs on a 29er and come in
under $300, and they'd have offerings for every taste. Way to go UDC!

what do you guys think about the Nimbus 20-inch Trials Cycle with ISIS
hub for $228. Would that be stronger than a DX becasue of the ISIS
parts? does anyone know what the weight on that one would be or any
way i could find out? Looks to be a good unicycle to me but why is it
at such a low price, It's the cheapest unicycle with an ISIS hub i have
seen yet.

fantastic uni and an even better price.

I wouldn't be regretting your DX--it's a terrific uni, and it's been
proven through rigorous testing by the uni community to stand up to
most anything anyone throws at it (unless you're a Cody or a Skrobo).
These new hubs and cranks haven't yet, so far as I know. They seem very
promising, but being ISIS doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be
extremely strong. I'm hopeful that they will prove to be great parts,
but if I were looking to buy a uni right now, I'd probably go with
something proven first, and let others do the field testing first.

Like this?http://www.unicycle.co.nz/images/shop/Nimbus29muniISIS.jpg
Not the price I don't think I didn't bother to convert if that is
needed. Still very awesome.

It looks like UDC has gotten their act together and started selling
awesome unis at awesome prices. Props to them.

I think ISIS is a nice standard and I'm glad all the splined hubs are
moving in that direction. However, I think it's overkill in a lot of
contexts. You can get reasonable square-taper cranks for $12 in a wide
variety of lengths; unicycle.com doesn't sell any splined cranks
shorter than 127mm, and the cheapest ones they sell are $76. For a
freestyle unicycle, I'd rather have square tapers, and that's probably
true for a big wheel as well, unless it's a big wheel designed for
MUni.

I'd also like to see more movement away from 22.2mm seatposts; that's
not wide enough to deal with the torsional forces we put on our
seatposts.

I agree with the above. The 22.2mm seatpost feels like a straw on the
old coker and I'd imagine it would be worse on a muni or trials cycle.
I'm not too sure what someone would need ISIS cranks under 237mm for
though...seems that you'd do mainly road riding on anything shorter
than that and you could use square taper for that without any problems.

I think it's very likely that people would want to use cranks shorter
than 127mm on a 20" freestyle unicycle. Actually, it looks like that
model (the Nimbus with ISIS hub) ships with 114mm cranks, but uni.com
doesn't sell them separately, at least not yet. But still, a lot of
top freestylists use cranks as short as 89mm, and there isn't a cheap
option to get ISIS cranks that short.
