A chocolate unicycle tastes great but is a bugger to ride.

The Torker LX is a good unicycle. It is reasonably priced and good
quality.

i am looking fr a great deal on a starter unicycle. so i turned to ebay
i am looking for a 20" but i don't know what to look for any pointers.
there is a good deal on an older penguin unicyle and i am wondering if
anyone knows about this brand.
thanx!!!

That is certainly one i can highly recommend, as it's lasted me over 6
months and can handle 2-3 foot drops if you wan to start learning
trials. all 10 of my friends have them and not one thing has broken.

obviously if you're in america i'm not sure if you can get that, but
still have a look.

Abbey, if you don't do jumps on a Torker LX (or any unicycle) you will
not bend the cranks.

i have one and its great for learning. i wouldn't recomend trials on it
though. i started trials with mine before i went to a qu-ax, and i
recently took the wheel off and found that i cracked a large section of
the bearing off. great learner but be careful with trials.

I'd say the Torker is better. Costs less, stronger wheelset, and has a
front handle. If you do break the cranks/pedals/seat post/hub stronger
replacements are available. Could bide you time while saving for a
splined uni.

On any learner doing drops is ill-advised. If you want it to last
don't _jump__down anything bigger than a curb. Better to practice
freestyle, flatland or technical trials.

I just bought a 20" chrome unicycle for less than £40 ( and now there
about £20!) and all i had to do was replace the seat with one with a
handle, change the tyre and it does me fine, both changes cast me
nothing! and ive had ti well ver a year now and i think one of the
cranks is slightly bent, but its held up well to what ive been doing on
it i guess!

Well I can only speak from personal experience, and this unicycle is
-definitely- strong enough for at least 2 foot drops [with a slightly
bigger tyre]. Plus, torkers are in America.... not UK as far as I know.
