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.

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!!!! Ben

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

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!tinyurl.com2uj2eOpen ↗ 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? Ben

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.
