  1. Alright, so I broke the axle off my beginner 24" uni and I've decided I
    want to get a new Kris Holm. The problem is that I'm not sure if I want
    to get the KH20 or KH24.
    I would appreciate if some of you could convince me one way or another.
    🙂

    As a side note, I'm probably going to replace the axle on the beginner
    and give it to my little bro for him to learn.

  2. 20" for sure. It is better for trials and street, and in my opinion
    muni, because it gives better control and it is easier to hop (which is
    important for muni).

  3. Good points. I like the trials/street aspect of it.
    Anyone else willing to share their advice?

  5. Thank you.
    And another thing, I'm just looking at some other unicycles on UDC and
    was wondering if there were any that are known to be better but at the
    same or lower price range?

  6. Get one, and then save up for the other! [well, that's my solution
    anyway...]

  7. It *totaly* depends on what you want to do really. If you want to do
    muni then the 24" is what most people would take. If you wanted to do
    street or trials the 20" would be what most riders would chose.

    There are the odd few who do use them for other uses, I for instance
    have ridden my KH20" 10 miles muni-ing...but I'd much rather not do it
    again :p

    Yeah, I was thinking of doing that.

    I'm also thinking that if I get one, I'm going to change the paint
    color to green or red. I'm not really one with the blue. Of course with
    that, I'll have to do it myself.

    Also, I probably tried more street stuff with my beginner than
    anything. I don't have too many trails around my area for me to chose
    from. Also, if I end up moving to Toronto or even going there for a
    day, I think I'd rather have the 20-incher with me.

    So, I guess I'd be getting the 20" before I get the 24".

    yeah... pc is the best option for re-painting(if you can), but if you
    do just spray, be very carful and do it nice, dont make a $500 uni into
    [censored].

    if you're goin cheaper, qu-ax is awesome!

  11. Dont forget the Nimbus Trials uni with ISIS hub, have UDC replace the
    cranks to Moment cranks for $50 and you get a light uni, as strong as
    the KH, and cheaper.

    Just an option.

    A stock KH 20 is also an amazing uni.

  12. Though, a trials is slow on the trials, I also think it's more doable to
    ride the technical parts in my area.

    I also would get a trials, then the KH 24 or maybee the KH 29.

    IMO the Nimbus ISIS trials is the best bargain, and the KH is the best
    trials you can get, that is until the Sponge/Triton ti frame is
    available.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.

    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

  13. A 24" uni is probably your best bet. If you are used to riding a 24,
    going down to a 20 will definitrly make you seem like you're not
    getting anywhere fast enough. I made the move to a 26 from a 20 and I
    will very rarely go back. You can still do trials on a 24" (a 26" is
    pushing it) without too much difficultly. Not to meniton a 24" will
    also ride much better off road.

    If you are looking at another uni besides the KH, Koxx makes a great
    uni. I can attest as I own one and it's great.

    There have also been ALOT of good things posted on the forum about the
    nimbus trials unis. Read up on them, both options are cheaper than the
    KH. The Nimbus is significantly cheaper and obivously from some of the
    posts here people are happy with them.

    Do some more digging and ask some more questions before you make your
    decision. THe forum here is great (as you already know) get informed.
    I wish I would have started with something bigger. Had I asked around
    here, I would have.

    Also the Nimbus 24/26/29" Munis are good, just no break mounts, but you
    could weld some on. (IMO they are the best bargain, asside from
    including break mounts, I can't see how any of the others are worth
    paying more for, except KH & Qu-Ax aluminum)

  16. And a KH 20 in May. I wore out a tire on the 24. At first the 20 was
    boring. Slow, and only better at tricks I couldn't do yet.

    Once I learned to idle watching the box in my living room, and started
    to hop and ride backwards, the 20 became really fun. It is still almost
    painfully slow though. I suspect that once I can do the 20 tricks on
    the 24, the 24 will be the preferred mount for most types of rides,
    especially if I need to cover any real ground. If I could only afford
    one uni in my first year of riding, I would go with the KH 24. That
    said, I'm really happy I have the 20 as well. 😄

    I only paid about 360 $ for the KH 20. It's a long story. If you want
    to get a good deal read this thread.🙂

    I mostly ride street but that day I wanted to do MUni. It turned out
    fine. So I'd say 20'
    Just don't shave the tyre if you wanna do MUni.
