  1. Hey Guyz

    I really want to get into unicycling so I have been looking for a new
    unicycle and i found
    these two on ebay ...... Here are the two links

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7212515268&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7212538546&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Please tell me if either of these are alright unicycles ( as i dont
    know much about them )

    Hopefully someone can help soon as one of them finishes soon.

    Thanks.

  2. neither of those are very good, but the first one is better. You should
    check unicycle.com, or whatever that is in Australia. The main
    question is, what do you want to do with it. Freestyle, distance,
    trials, street, Muni Whatever you want to do. You will find a lot of
    different unicycles for each style of riding, but to narrow it down you
    need to pick a style of riding. Trust me, when I started I was riding
    street on a freestyle uni, I broke it all the time.

  3. I just want one to learn with , so i dont want to spend heaps of money
    .. I will get a better one when i know unicycling is for me and i will
    stick with it . So are either of these unicycles ok for learning with?

  4. The first one has a more comfortable seat then the second. But both
    would be fine for learning on.

  5. I had the same goal it seemsd that you do.

    I got a 24" Torker off ebay for *well* under $100 US a few years ago.
    It was a perfect learner. I gave it away for somebody else to learn on
    when I upgraded.

    My original Torker has been passed around so much as a 'learner uni'
    that I have lost track of the location.

  6. Welcome to the fora.

    'This one' (http://tinyurl.com/avmue) has 'lollipop' bearings. Those
    aren't good and are best avoided.

    'This' (http://tinyurl.com/96b5c) would be the better one to get.

    'Here's' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) a
    recent learning journal kept by a learning unicyclist.
