16inch torker

Get the 20". They're a million times more practical (and since virtually
every unicyclist own a 20", parts are readily available).

And if you're serious about unicycling, or planning to get serious,
spring for the LX (it says unistar black, but it's really a 2003 LX).

Also, you might want to consider a different source. If you order
directly from a dealer (unicycle.com, Seattle Bike Shop), you buy the
product with shipping. If you buy from a local bike shop, you're buying
the product, the shipping, and profit for the store.

But there's not much point in buying a 16" unicycle if you won't be able
to use it for much. That size is pretty much exclusively used by small
children, and clown-type entertainers that want something small. It will
be slow, tire choice will be limited, and it won't be very strong.

You should be able to get tires anywhere children's bikes are sold, like
department stores. But they won't be great quality tires.

If you're on a budget, there are smarter purchases than a Nimbus Trials
cycle.

This one is a little heavier than the trials, but it has a stronger
wheel, and the same hub/crankset. The frame is a little narrower, but it
your tire selection will be almost infinite. Comes in Red and Blue.

This is a fine unicycle. Nice saddle, looks nice, and it's affordable.

If you want something for trials, you probably should not get the
Nimbus. It has a cotterless hub and crankset, which are weaker than the
much more expensive splined variety. Quality trials cycles run just
about 400 USD. However. This one is a trials cycle in every way but the
tire. The frame cannot accomidate the 20X2.5 trials tires, but it will
still get the job done without taking much damage.

since you are in Canada you should consider contacting Darren Bedford
from Bedford Unicycles, if memory serves me correctly his beginner 20"
is about 250$ CAD. Darren knows what goes into building great unicycles!

his website is www [dot] bedfordunicycles [dot] ca

call him or email him for info.

oh and i would advise a 20" unicycle over a 16" unless you like the idea
of feeling like a hamster in an exersize wheel when you ride.
