  1. My friend wants to become a flatland rider.
    We dont know where to get a "flat unicycle" only because i dont think
    theres such thing. I think you use a street r freestyle, im really not
    sure.
    this is in australia by the way

    What unicycle does he get?
    How should he start flatland riding?
    Should he get a kool lookin unicycle with a coloured rim?

    Any other comments would be appreciated

  2. there's really not much in the way of parts down here.

    I'd recommend going with one of these frames:

    http://tinyurl.com/pguuz
    http://tinyurl.com/eg7uc
    http://tinyurl.com/u48mo

    and build the rest from there. The frame is the most important feature
    and thats pretty much the only decent models you will find.

    I have a unicycle built with one of those frames. Its quite good and
    pretty cheap to put together. It has:

    standard cranks 102mm (unicycle.com australia)
    20 inch nimbus wheelset - blue rim (unicycle.com australia)
    black deluxe non-marking pedals (unicycle.com nz) (wanted white but hey
    the stores are [censored] like that 😠 )
    black kizkumbut tyre (unicycle.com nz) (wanted white too)
    miyata saddle (you won't be able to get one of these easily just try
    and a get a decent one from au).

    Quoted message said:

    lol. There is its just that they aren't sold readily because the market
    is not as big (especially in australia).

    Here's the miyata website (japanese company) -
    https://www.mys-co.com/shop_e/.

    There's a heap of awesome products there, i've always wanted to look
    into it but i'm not really sure how/if that site still works. It hasn't
    been updates since 2006 by the looks of things and dodgy english
    translations never help. I think i emailed them once and never got a
    response :p

  4. If a Koxx one "Flat" unicycle is not an option I would recommend a
    nimbus x street with quax CrMO 125 cranks.

  6. I would send them an email and ask if the cranks on the nimbus x are the
    CrMO cranks. The picture has the aluminum, and I am not sure if the only
    ones that are black or the CrMO cranks or not. Those ALU cranks in the
    picture will not be good for flat.

    Frame should be okay in 300, They should be able to cut it shorter if
    you need, as could anyone with simple tools.
