well, the nimbus trials is your best option -never broken... its being ridden more and more, it is fairly new
the KH is next (DEFINITELY get it if you have the money) as far as anyone can tell, these are the best unicycles(some argue between KH and KOXX) then Koxx ... same deal... actually don't get one... they are more expensive and heavier and the same strength then a DX - it is older, a little more expensive, but definitely worth the money, not over a nimbus though. i beat the [censored] out of mine, its still a unicycle that can be ridden hard.

You say light and strong. Get the KH07 19" hands down. The only comparible product the KOXX makes is the XTP at around $800. A cheaper alternative is to get the nimbus trials at UDC upgraded with moment cranks.
Happy unicycling.

I would also recommend the nimbus trials. I have one, and it's served me very well so far.

My Nimbus Trials ISIS is coming in this Wednesday!! OK, got that out of my system.
So from what I understand if you get a Nimbus ISIS with KH Moment cranks it'll be pretty much the same quality as a KH for a little more than half the price. If someone is going to freak out at me for stating something inaccurate... well I guess thats your choice.

Two big things a different between the nimbus and the KH.
The KH has a wider rim at 47mm compared to 42mm (Which does make a difference), and the KH frame is really light and takes 27.2mm seatposts (basicly stronger).

About the seat post. I asked for a steel seat post so I don't think that'll matter much.
