  1. G'day I'm just looking for a bit of help with choosing a new uni for me,
    because my B'days coming up and I'm looking to get into a bit of trials
    and freestyle.

    I'm looking at a splined hub for strength, even though i only weigh
    55kilos
    (120 pounds) because i want to do some 4-5 foot drops.
    Also i want to do some basic freestlye tricks such as wheel walks, and
    1 foot riding.

    How common is it for people to ride a trials/freestyle uni and can you
    recomend one that you like?

    At the moment i'm thinking about the Nimbus Trials which is $350 (aus)
    http://tinyurl.com/dn6w9
    Is this a good choice or is there a better uni for this kind of thing?

    Thanx a lot guys😄

    Why stroll...when you can roll?

    I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it!

  3. if you get the nimbus trials it will break after very few(maybe 1) 4-5
    foot drops. it is a cotterless hub. the kh or the dx or profiles and
    I think the Qu-ax is strong enough to take those drops. I don't know
    much about the qu-ax wheel so i couldn't tell you. I have riden the
    other three and they can take the abuse. the dx's frame is weak and
    will snap. the nimbus 2 frame can replace it or the Yuni frame but the
    seat post is smaller

    their are 2 types of unicyclist. ones who can suck it up and go for
    things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

  4. whoops it's not splined...
    i'll check out the qu-ax and the profiles, but they might have to be
    shipped over.
    The kh is way too expensive.
    Maybe i'll try a custom uni
