I am hoping to have a new unicycle, I was thinking about a Nimbus II
24", but would quite like one with isis cranks. Does anyone know if
they are going to using the isis cranks on them soon?

Thanks.

Emma🙂

Speaking as a fat git who's been riding his Nimbus II with square
tapered cranks for a while now, let me tell you that it's going to take
quite a bit of pounding to bend things out of shape.

Well, it has for me anyway.

She is 4 ft 5 inches and very lightweight. (I am her Dad)

We saw the Nimbus 20" with isis cranks, and thought that the 24" would
be coming out with isis cranks soon, and wondered if it would be worth
the wait.

I know that the tapered cranks would be fine, the isis cranks look good
though.

You can use municycle.com another way is to buy a clotter less uni and
lace (or get LBS to do it) a KH hub into it.

I think the main advantage you'll find with ISIS hubs is that there
will be a bigger variety of cranks to suit it soon. For example, the
dual-holed KH cranks are only available for ISIS hubs.

Obviously ISIS is stronger and better than square taper, but in
realistic terms, I'm not sure this is going to be a huge advantage to
someone just over 4 foot tall.

The word on the street, however, is that all Nimbus unicycles are
moving to ISIS, so I guess it depends how desperate you are for a new
uni.

I thought that would be the case, it could be a good idea to wait.

I am using a small bit of wood under the wheel, and I can freemount this
way nearly every time now.

My Dad phoned Roger at unicycle.com and he is able to build up a Nimbus
24" with isis cranks.
