  1. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between these two
    unicycles?

  2. Scroll down to where it says features, if you have then. Then you will
    see that the 2 have some differences. Also the 1st one has the hardcore
    CrMo Muni-fork with footrests with brake bosses for magura brakes and
    fire stickers on frame

  4. The first one is much stronger specifically at the crank arms, seat post
    and rim.

  5. Is one of the hubs any stronger than the other? They're both ISIS, which
    would make the hubs equally strong eh? I'm a 210 lb guy so...

    A lot of people say that the yellow hub is stronger than the red hub
    but some say it's the same strength. And just because the hub is ISIS
    doesn't make it the same as all the other ISIS hubs.

    The number of splines and the specific shape of the splines (ISIS hubs
    have a tapered spline interface which decreases the chances of creaking
    hub syndrome). Here is a link to an ISIS hub
    http://www.unicycle.co.nz/images/shop/KHMomentHub.jpg

    Just like all 20" rims are not created equal, so too hubs are not
    created equal. An ISIS hub will be compatible with ISIS cranks but its
    strength will be determined by the quality of the raw materials used,
    the manufacturing process and the size hole used for the bolts that
    hold the cranks on.

    There are actually two different sized bolts used on ISIS hubs, one for
    road ISIS hubs (which have a bigger hole) and one for mountain ISIS
    hubs (with a smaller hole). The red Qu-ax hub uses the bigger hole
    design which means it is more likely to break that a hub made of the
    same material with the smaller hole.

    The red hub is still very strong though and I don't know of anyone in
    NZ who has broken one. Kris broke a prototype KH/Schlumpf hub which
    used the bigger hole design after a serious amount of abuse, so they
    can be broken.

    That is a joke right?

    So then this: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=584

    Must be better than:
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1050

    Or that they are about equal when you upgrade the second one to KH
    moment cranks?

    While sometimes price can give you an idea on quality - a lot of the
    time it means nothing more than how long its been since they last
    updated the web page.
