I was wondering if the rim is any good and if the Dirt Uni frame is good

What do you mean by "is the rim any good"?

It seems to do a good job of holding the tire in place, if that's what
you're asking. If, however, you'll be doing 6 foot drops with the
wheel, this is a different question.

How aggressive of a rider are you? Help us help you.

It's a good uni with strong components, but the components are
outdated. A KH 07/08 is arguably better because it's cheaper and easier
to upgrade/replace parts.

This unicycle is pretty old school. It rides nice, looks good, and is a
beast.
However, for the same amount of cash, you could get a better, up to
date unicycle.

I would get a KH07, or 08 when it comes out. + CF seat base. The KH is
a much better deal.

What you get with a KH:
- A wider rim (47mm) compared to probably 38mm/42mm. This makes a huge
difference in feel and "bounce". This is a must for me for any trials
uni.
- Isis hub cranks. Although slightly heavier than profiles (100g), they
are compatible with all sorts of cranks. They are slightly shorter than
the profiles, and so you lose a bit of leverage.
- Aluminum frame. High quality, very light, quite strong frame. This
frame rocks.

usually kris does something to his unis in between major changes, so
since this guy is waiting till may to order his uni I figured I would
just put a "/08" next to the 07.

I don't know this. I have ridden both and never broken either. I have
never heard of either of them breaking as well.

Yes. The profile has 48splines I think, this is way too much. But
cranks are more likely to brake then the hub on profile set. Get the
KH, you'll be happier.

But isn't there some sort of lifetime guarantee on the Profile stuff?

Yes, but few ever use it.
There is also some warranty one KH parts. Send KH an email asking what
he covers.

supposedly on the cranks and certain parts of the hub. Unfortunately
I've heard several disputes where profile refused to pay up for
warranty claims.

i am pretty sure he just covers defects. like you go off a 2 ft drop
and the moments snap kind of thing.
not the "i rode it really hard and it broke"
you go for a 10 ft drop and then complain that it broke... dont think
he will go for giving you new stuff for free

Yes. And if your cranks are bent they won't exchange them. You have to
snap them...

Get a KH.
