best splined muni?

look into kh24, onza 24", and qu-ax.

i have kh24, think its pretty good. lots of creaking and terrible sounds
coming from it even tho its pretty new 🙁

onza muni doesn't have too many reviews of it online, but still a decent
muni from what i can tell.

qu-ax can only be ordered from overseas i think so shipping costs a tad.
still cheaper than kh24 and onza. prolly worth looking into but i dont
know much about it. try www.municycle.com

ppl will tell u that kh24 is best for the $ but i dont know since its
the only muni i've ever owned. many thigns have gone wrong with this
last batch of kh24s... wrong seats, difficult to tighten seat bolts,
TERRIBLE creaking in hub, slipping of axle, 30$ price jack at
unicycle.com...

hope that helps

Mine is doing the same and it annoys me. Anti-seize apparently stops it
(you can get it from car supply stores), but I don't have the correctly
sized allen key to aply it, so I just tighten and loosen the other bolts
until it goes away. It's a temporary fix but it works for me.

*does any one have any used that they might sell? *

i might but but i havent desided yet, if i do its going to be between
800 and $1000 (depending how i choose to sell it, complete or frame and
wheel) anyway so its probobly out of your target range.

the Toker DX 24" has a nice splined hub for just $200, you could spend
another 50 and put the wheel on a yuni/nimbus frame so you can have a
taller/wider tyre...

Get an onza!!! I bought one off roger at unicycle dot com without even
seeing it. I told him how much cash I had, he asked my weight/height, I
bought it.

It is absolutely amazing! Things have only gone wrong with it because I
have stupidly attempted to clean/tighten cranks without knowing what I
was doing (I lost the plastic washers and seized the crank onto the axle
and had to send it to roger to fix for me. twice)

I weigh 13 stone and have done 5ft drops (going sideways!) I'v jumped
down 1m tall steps with the tyre too soft and the rim banged off the
ground on each step and nowt happened other than a clunk sound.

A girl at the Juggling Club here just got a KH24, they are pretty
similar, but the Onza rim is a lot deeper and meatier looking, also the
KH cranks felt a bit longer.

I kick the [censored] out of the onza most weekends and it still rocks!

Hope this helps, if it doesn't, just go buy an Onza!

total uni,
I belive that unicycle.com said that is not completely true. They
are aware of some crank problems in the 2004 KH24's and are completely
willing to fix them, and if you have it done yourself, they will not
invalidate the warrenty, but they are not just giving away free wheels
in the form of a refund.

I just got a KH24 a couple of months ago and it is awesome! Outside of
a few problems with the cranks (that I have been able to fix myself with
not too much trouble) it is a beast. It can handle anything I can dish
out (which isnt a whole lot, but will soon hopefully be more). A friend
of mine got his a while back to and I have seen it take some MASSIVE
abuse and still hold up (outside of some creaking that can be fixed with
anisieze). In my opinion, the KH24 is definatly the way to go. If you
want to look around, the Onza Muni is definatly a great one, and so is
the Qu/ax from municycle.com if you are willing to pay some more for
shipping.

The creaking should never be an issue because you can fix it with $2
worth of lubricant (that will last you forever) and 5 minutes of work.

Also it seems to me that Kh hubs are easier to keep lubricated than
profiles. You can get the anti sieze in there easier and it is less
likely to come out. Also, it takes hours to remove the profile cranks.

i apply antiseize everywhere i can, and the clicking does not go away.
its beyond frustrating.

i know how to take off the cranks and pinch bolts and axle bolts, and
apply it everywhere, but still when i put pressure on my right pedal,
the uni gives off the most awful sounds. it cant be the spokes; it just
doesn't sound like that.

ive had it for about 4 months and the clicking appears to get worse. its
been there for over a week and will not go away. i apply more than
enough antiseize so im 100% sure that thats not the problem.

i wish i had a recorder or something so i could post a .wav file of the
sound its making.

sorry for the rant, im just really frustrated

You'll note that I said anti sieze stops the ::creaking:: . Not the
clicking. The clicking is not an issue of your hub and cranks (unless
you feel the cranks slipping in the hub). It is more likely the pedals.
Either repack them or (especially if they are wellgos) replace them.

sorry sorry didn't mean to direct my frustration at you. its like 6
rapidfire clicks, so i suppose you're right its not a creak. i figured
we were talking about the same thing. my feet can feel it when it clicks
just barely...but i suppose that it could still be the cranks slipping
or the pedals. yes, they are wellgos...but i figured kh would be decent
enough to put good pedals on his kh24. i guess i was wrong? id want to
be 100% sure that the pedals were whats wrong before buying new ones..

I much prefer the Onza saddle to the KH. I just feel like I can get a
better grip on the thing. I think the qu-ax has the KH handle, but I'm
uncertain

The Qu-ax has 48 spokes, making the wheel stronger, but heavier.

Considering that, the Onza is the best bet. But what about price?

Before shipping...
Qu-ax from municycle.com: 249 EU ($306.65)
Onza from unicycle.com: $449
KH from unicycle.com: $479

Shipping from unicycle.com should probably run about $16. Anyone want to
share their shipping costs from municycle.com?

I, too, am in the market for a muni, and I was planning on getting an
Onza, but if the splined Qu-ax is stronger and cheaper, you can't argue
with that.

Sure sounds to me like its your pedals. You would "feel" the click if it
was your pedals. Its a place where the bearings are tighter and the
click is you moving past that point. You would feel that. I am fairly
confident that it is your pedals. Get new ones. Also, wellgo's are cheap
and the bearings are bad. So if they don't click now they will soon. And
they shatter.

the only reason i think its the hub is because it the more pressure and
weight i put on the pedal, the worse the clicks. it clicks its worst
when i am riding backwards, then when my right foot is down i put a ton
of pressure on it and begin going forward again. its exactly whe i put
the pressure on that the clicks start going crazy. if it were the pedal,
does that mean it would click at the same spot every rotation of the
pedal? like 4 o clock, 4 o clock, 4 o clock, etc. thanks
