KH20 or KH24? :S

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).

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

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?

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!

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.

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.

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)

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.🙂
