  1. I'm thinking of buying this unicycle, but I was wondering how strong it
    is. Also, on unicycle.co.nz (i think, it might be another one) it says
    it has a KH saddle. Is this true of the unicycle.com one?

    Thanks 🙂

  2. Myself along with many other members of this forum have done extensive
    research on Munis in this price range and have discovered that the best
    you can get is the Kris Holm 24" for $449. The Onza 24" is the second
    best muni. So if you have a little extra cash, go with the Kh24.

  3. yea i 2nd that opinion.

    the main difference is that the onza has a 2.6 inch wheel instead of
    24x3. according to john childs and numerous other brilliant guys, this
    can make a surprisingly big difference in rolling over obstacles. you
    simply cannot go wrong with teh kh24. spend the extra 50 bucks. (50
    american dollars).

    tennisgh22 - When will my kh24 come?!?!

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

  6. Watch your self with the kh for what i have heard this batch is a bit
    crappy. The problem is the cranks are getting a lag when you pedal
    backwards and others.My friend had this and he is in canada so spent a
    bunch getting though customs and it was a duff uni.Why o why don't they
    check them before they send..........

    I have an Onza, my mate has a KH. I've ridden both and I have to say that I
    find the extra weight (several pounds) of the KH to be a significant
    disadvantage. That said, that weight translates into extra strength, so I
    guess it depends what sort of riding you are going to do. And yes, the onza
    does have a KH seat (but with cool Onza branding).

  8. To be fair to Onza, I don't think that the amount of Onza 24" owners is
    anywhere near the number of KH 24" owners so the majority of opinions
    are slightly biased.

    So far I don't think anyone has had any problems with the Onza, I can't
    remember many cases of crank/hub damage, though a few people had slop in
    their keyway (me included) but the KHs seem to be going through the same
    problem at the moment. So I'm not sure where the whole Onza is weaker
    thing came from.

    I have both a KH and Onza hub/crank set and think they are both great.

    I haven't heard a really in depth review of the Onza (24"😉, whereas I've
    heard dozens for the KH.

    I think the KH has gone through a couple generations of evolution and
    this is Onza's first go at a muni, so there could be something in
    that.

    Plus I think the Onza will take a 24x3" tyre, tho don't quote me on
    that.

    If I were to buy a muni now I'd be very very tempted to get the Onza...
