  1. I broke my Cotterless 24", like the shaft.

    I want a 20" Splined Trials Unicycle. And my budget is around $250.

    What do you guys recommend?

    Thanks

    no he shouldn't.. He would be paying more for a heavy non isis uni,
    when he could pay less for a lighter ISIS uni

  10. shut up guys...don't base what uni someone should get by opinion, tell
    them what you think of each uni and the shortcomings so that they can
    choose

    the DX is proven, tried and true. it is a beast of a unicycle, better
    than anything 95% of unicyclists will ever need. very few ppl have
    broken them EVER...new frame is plenty strong, you can get used to the
    clearance and stuff.

    the crossfire is a fairly new uni and there is some contrevoursy over
    it. the hub should be stronger, but you may want to ask unicycle.com
    about that as one has broken.

    the nimbus is a little unknown, but i suggest getting it if you can
    afford it, it looks like a lighter, beasty uni. though i doubt the hub
    is as strong as KH's... cranks are interchangable for different sizes
    unlike the DX, the DX is a reasonable size, but a little shorter than
    preferrable for natural trials.

    yea, only cause 95% of unicyclists don't ride trials or serious
    street.:p

    EDIT: i agree with what you first sayed, give them information and let
    them choose.

    but i don't get why they can't find that information themselves, and i
    saw somone actually get a KH for hopping off curbs because people on
    this forum told them to do so.

    almost every thread on the DX has people complaining about it's weight
    and supposedly "weak" frame, the nimbus has people complaining about
    counterfeit nimbus trials(it says"not meant for drops over 10" for a
    150lb rider" if it's the fake, but im not sure)

    and i have never heard of the crossfire, but I have been gone for a few
    weeks soooo...

    to throw out a few other uni's to be considered:

    Kris Holm, Koxx-one, a combo of the two(i.e. the "shameless),
    bedford....devils

    yawn, just go look around and see what you want....

    When giving advice, be sure to read the question...e.g. $250 budget

    If you're up to keeping the budget I'd say the ISIS nimbus is a good
    place to start. If you're up to spending a bit more go for the QuAx
    20" with the red hub (1500 model I think.) I have a 20" Qu-ax around
    here and its bomb proof

    I think you mean, "Which unicycle should I get?".
    That nimbus looks pretty good. I say go with it, then save up for a KH
    or a Shameless if you're doing street or trials.
