  1. Looking into getting a 48 spoke trials rim. Anyone have any good
    suggestions?

  2. 'This' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=830) looks
    pretty damn good to me.

    Of if you want a wider rim.. 'this.'

    Norco Twenty (Chrome)
    Femco Aluminum Single Wall Rim with a Primo Wall tire.
    This rim and tire was on my BMX, it has flat spots from jumping off of
    ledges...

    Axel/Hub is bent, and crank arms are sagging. Pedal threading is
    totally stripped. (Welded the pedals on)

  3. Most bike trials riders have converted to 32 spokes because spokes are
    much better made than they used to be. If you are looking for 48 I
    would suspect that you already have a 48 hub, probably from a DX. If
    that is the case and you haven't Taco'ed the rim, then i would stick
    with what you have for now and breakdown later and upgrade to 36 holes.
    Your rim and hub strength, derability, variety, and availabilty all
    increase astronomically.
    The rim you have now is quite good and for the reduction in weight or
    strength, I think it is a waste of your time and money to upgrade
    without looking at a new hole pattern
    Just my $0.02

  4. I have the qu-ax setup right now, but I'm using a 1.95 tire and rim from
    my friend's old BMX. I was considering selling the qu-ax and possibly
    getting the KH 07 hub/crankset, but I still haven't decided... What do
    you recommend?

  5. KH makes some nice stuff, KOXX-1 stuff is sick (my opinion only, most
    people on here are addicted to KH). Qu-ax is a nice set-up as well, but
    it limits you in your rim selection and crank length for sure. KOXX-1
    has a great street crank set-up that they just released as well. It is
    as cheap as KH but you can order from UDC in the States and they have a
    great selection of hubs and cranks, so shop away. Just stick to 36
    holes.
    My set-up now is
    VIZ 19" 46mm 36 hole rim
    KOXX-1 ISIS 140mm cranks and hub
    Monty Eagle Claw 19" x 2.6 tire
    I am currently very happy.
    My old set-up was
    Double wall Alloy 20" 38mm (1 1/4"😉 Rim
    KOXX-1 ISIS 140mm cranks and hub
    Kenda Kinetics 20" x 2.35" tire.

    I can't seem to find it on UDC... Do you have to special order it?

    how in the heck can you taco a DX rim?

    i launched as fast as I could off of a 6 set, and landed 90*
    it twisted the rim a little

  11. Is the qu-ax hub ISIS? I thought I saw a Kris hom hub with Qu-Ax
    cranks.

    Which is the weakpoint? I'm assuming the hub, but is it their cranks?

  16. i really like the 19" tryall 47mm, non-drilled, eyeleted rim thats on
    the koxx street.
    i use to ride with a 48 spoke set up. rim was to thin way to much fold
    over.
    now with my tryall (it has less spokes) but way way stronger def a good
    choice if yer tryin to build a strong wheel

    pretty cheap?

    Anyone recommend this setup:

  18. http://www.div8.ca

    i bought the stock dan heaton street uni, but i think this place will
    do single parts as well. its in canada but shipping is not bad, it was
    like 20 or so dollars for a whole uni. im pretty sure the 47mm eyeleted
    rim only comes on koxx street unis. and it is a damn nice rim.

    id go with a KH over the koxx devil unis anyday.
    as far as the koxx street, very nice strong strong uni
