What to get? HELP!

Hawo samsta002, my name is Harry a.k.a Hazmat.
*1stly *Let me be the 1st to welcome you to the forums. 😄
*2ndly* That is an awesome MUni considering it is lightweight and
durable and comes with assembly tools and instructions which is always
a good thing to have. Also the Nimbus 24" Muni is always a good step
forward to the MUni world of unicycling. (I apologize if i'm confusing
you)
*3rdly* For me personally,' i would prefer this awesome unicycle.'
(http://tinyurl.com/2zw5ol) But i like the fact that you're going with
a nimbus as they're always a good choice for unicycles so i'm sure the
24" Muni would be a good pick too also. 😄

*ALSO* Don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else the questions that you
require help in as we are here to help you always. Your like the new
member of this big and happy family who have welcomed you with open
arms and so forth. So have fun, enjoy, ask for assistance if you need
help and enjoy the world of unicycling my new friend. 😄

Your new friend/helper.
*HAZMAT*

Hey all
I'm new here (first post!)😄
I bought an 24 inch "Ebay uni":eek: and the seat has recently broke,
as I started to do simple tricks. I first thought of buying a new seat
but then, after reading some threads on this site, decided that it
wasn't worth it.
I'd like a 24 inch that can be used offroad and on footpaths that also
is good for tricks (btw, nothing too hardcore).
I was interested in this one😄
http://tinyurl.com/hjbxl
but thought it would be good to get some advice from people that have
been through this "search process🙄 "

Cheers,
Sam

That is a good unicycle, however eventually it is bound to break. As
you progress in skill you will put more stress on the hub and cranks,
therefore you should be looking for that model of unicycle with the
ISIS hub and KH moment cranks. I'm sure if you phone up unicycle.com
and ask them for that upgrade on your unicycle then they would be more
than willing to set it up for you. Although this will cost slightly
more money, you will then have a very strong unicycle.

Definitely try to get ISIS if you can, however it doesn't seem as
though UDC Australia has any.

Unfortunately UDC Oz will not upgrade parts on a uni like jamessd
suggested.

Hey
Thanx guys for the advice
I've worked out that I want a 24 Muni but I don't think I can quite
afford that one (I'll know in 9 days!)
Are there any others that you could recommend that are a bit cheaper??
Btw, i'm 5 ft 6, just under 50 kgs if it helps?
Cheers,
Sam

You may not be able to afford it right now, but who said you couldn't

Which one exactly?
Give us a price limit and we may be able to help some more.
Also you say that you want an *offroad*, *street* riding, *tricks* uni.
*Which is it?* I would say *_Trials_ Uni*
like Hazmat suggested.__

Looks good - if you don't mind a few scratches - otherwise it's a very
strong unicycle (one of the best brands too).

Ps if you look in the tradin post section, you'll see a number of other
people selling KH24s at the moment, for example 'this one'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67748). You may want
to consider different qualities of each one.

If you want to ride around on dirt tracks and down hills through
forests etc then Muni. If it's mainly for tricks and jumping around on
walls, benches, rocks and for grinding stuff then you want a trials
uni. Main difference the tyre and possibly a different seat.
Good uni but will cost a fortune to ship to Aus.
Depending what you decide to use it for I would suggest one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/2zw5ol
http://tinyurl.com/hjbxl (it's not ISIS but they don't have any with in
the 24" like you said you would like)
http://tinyurl.com/24h3x9 (same as above uni but 26" with ISIS. Not
really a trick machine but better for Muni and riding longer distances.
I bought the last one recently and I love it. But i'm not really into
tricks so much).

I would strongly suggest getting something with ISIS. It is definitely
the smart thing to do.

What about a 24" Trials?
Is that a stupid question?😕
By the sound of it trials might be the most versatile and right 4 me🙂

Could they be used for a teeny bit of offroad?
Is that a stupid question?😕

Well the preferred choice for a trials is a 20" but 24" is the next
best thing to have. Also i would chose an ISIS hub myself. 😄

I'm doubting that your cycle shop will have any good unicycles, but
it's a possibility. You're best off 'getting this nimbus ISIS trials
unicycle' (http://tinyurl.com/2zw5ol) (as hazmat first suggested). This
can be used for Trials, muni, freestyle, flat... pretty much everything
(other than distance of course...).

Well, trials will be harder to do on a Municycle... but have it your
way 😉

I don't think you have the nimbus ISIS 24" unicycle in australia, but
that's all I can think of other than the KH24 (which is expensive).
