ah. this is waht happened to mine. Torker Lx unis are pretty strong, and
they can handle drops of 4 feet, IF you know what you are doing, and how
to roll out. if you dont stick the landing JUST RIGHT, you will bend the
axel. I havent bent the cranks, mainly because the threads in the cranks
give out before the cranks will. the cranks themselves are strong, but
the axel is lacking in strength. if you put a fatter tire on it, it
should be able to get it to land 4 foot drops pretty damage free. but I
strongly suggest that you get a stronger uni for that stuff. maybe a
torker dx if you are low budgeted like me. those ones are stronger than
the lx, but not that much more expensive. get them off of ebay. that way
you only have to pay like 144-153 bucks for one. but still, dont do too
many repeated drops of 4+ feet, or you will go thru them like a woman on
the rag goes thru tampons. (bad analogy, I know! 😉) but anyways, if you
are going to do them often, invest some money in a unicycle with a
better, stronger splined hub. anything with the word "Profile" wold be
awesome for this. also anything made by Kris Holm Unicycles is awesome.
they are mildly priced, but are amazingly strong. good luck with findng
a new uni! you are better off buying a new one now, than being uniless
when that ones threads give out. (if you ride it hard with bent axle, it
will strip out completely. trust me, I know from experience)
Hope for the best with you,
Dewey
