125's for trials

to me 125 are the best for trails. The faster you can go the higher you
can hop and distance 😉 in my view. Im going to get some 125's on my
trials when I get it built.

Yeah, I think the smoothness and speed would definately have its
advantages.
I was thinking about this the other day, I think sometimes 140s are too
long, especially for messing around etc. I find the pedalling motion on
my freestyle with 125s to be much more comfortable, especially like 180s
to backwards riding. I think 140mm are better suited to trials trials
where you need maximum control and where the pace may be slightly
slower, not necessarily street trials where you're trying to be more
fluid. When I have the change, I *may* get a 19"Qu-Ax wheelset with
125s.

hmm this is very interesting to read this, as im about to place an order
for a KH hub, soi will be going from 125's to 140's, youve bot me
thinking that naybe i should just get nother pair of BE cranks to
replace my twisted ones rather than a splined set up. i would get the
Qu-ax job but yellow wont go with my plans for the final look of my
unicycle.

You could always spray it couldn't you? Would it still chip if it wasn't
actually having anything rubbing the paint off? I guess the spokes would
make a bit of paint peel after a while... Hmmm what about sand/shot
blasting it and having it powder coated? Definately go for splined tho,
I hated not wanting to do certain things too much for fear of being a
unicycle down til I could get my next order in.

i think worring bout the final look sucks it's only gonna get scratched
up anyway my muni (qu-ax) is all black with a yellow hub.I would go for
the whole wheel set if you gonna get a qu-ax as you probli have a a 36
hole not a 48 hole rim i have heard mixed theorys on if it fits but a 48
in a 48 is much stronger!
As i was saying i would go for the whole thing becuz it's only £135 for
rim/spokes/tyre/hub/cranks as far as i know thats cheaper then a kh on
it's own.If you go down the onza path wells it's £120 but if you can't
make a wheel it will probli cost u some to get done plus spokes if you
needed them(good idea i think)
Qu-ax wheel sets rock i just don't like their saddles(cheep crappy
version of kh) which i broke with in a month.THANKS Roger for replacing
that!And their frame with brake thingys are alittle heavy the one that
o.w.s is ok tho i hope.
As for going from 125's to 140's that will be fine i went from a 20
trials with 125's to a 24" muno(ha ha ha typo but it's my new name for
muni now!) with 170's!!!!

Generally I don't have a major biff with my Onza 140s, so I'm happy with
them, tho if I have the change kicking around, I may get a different
wheelset.

No way! Having a uni that looks good is very important- not as important
as quality parts of course, but you feel much sexier if you're on a sexy
unicycle! 😉 and battle scars make it look rugged sexy! I thought the
Qu-Ax saddles were produced by Velo too, they even have the KH sig on
them now! I checked out the 19" Qu-Ax trials wheelsets with tyre today
and that was £140... 48 spoke hub and fit a 36 hole rim, and as a 19" is
so small, I think the chances of tacoeing one is slim, but I'd probably
just get the whole wheelset for convenience.

Get the frame Ben, it's well worth it!

gotta agree with phil here, i got an onza a mere 2 days ago, and
immediately felt a significant improvement. I could now ride things
thinner than i ever could (just over a tyre width) and i could hop
between gaps on thin objects with apparent ease, the tyre would just
grip so much, and the torque from the 140's would keep me hangin on the
edge, where on my 24x3 with 150's i would fall off. And you really arent
going to try to get anywhere fast on a trials anyway, so the speed isnt
a problem

Depends what your going to be doing, My muni has 102's on lol, it doesnt
stop me.
for my anything bigger then 125's on a 20" should be for only riding
because its not a smooth ride. The onza 20" is good at muni but for
trials i wud prefer 125's.

If you get any thing by qu-ax get it through roger that is where i got
my munO(my word 4 muni) and my wheel set it saved me a packet on
postage!
Yeah i can see the advantages of 140's but i don't have much money now
but the grrrrreat thing about qu-ax hubs is they use b.m.x cranks thus i
hope i can get then through the local bike shop!so sometime i might look
down that way when the 125's are scratched to s^*t
Yeah the frame will be the month after next's thing as i need some new
shoes i plan to get these if they still have my size when i get
paid!http://tinyurl.com/2uj2e
I can see your point having a good looking uni is cool has anyone seen
phils 29er that is a beast i must say!I basically don't have the money
to be able to care what my uni's look like.And trev what hub/crank set
are you planing on getting?

Well I've been charged £9 for some little odds and sodds from
unicycle.uk.com like a 20" wheel, but I got a 29er from Municycle.com
for £11 shipping.... Plus the hub/cranksets are cheaper there. Do the
Qu-Ax have the hole that Profiles do? Cuz I thought they were unicycle
specific cranks and Qu-Ax a unicycle specific company? Surely the cranks
are goona be cheaper and easier to find from unicycle/municycle.com?
Could be wrong tho!

I got KH hub/cranks on my muni with a black Qu-Ax frame, looks super
nice.

102s on a muni?! Dude, you must have the strongest legs! What size wheel
is it?

Again, I think the riding of skinnies and gapping is largely trials
rather than street based. I think the 140s come into their own when you
need maximum control when you're moving slowly and getting the focus is
getting from A to B before B to C, rather than street riding , where you
seem to flow more and, in my minds eye, get from A to F via B, C, D and
E if you see what I mean. not sure that makes sense to anyone but me. So
for this more fluid style I can see 125s having an advantage over 140s
but probably not for trials.

Municycle.com again, they do yellow frames, albeit only standard ones
round shouldered ones, which I think look pretty cool. Unicycle.uk.com
can powdercoat frames too for £20 which isn't too bad.
