Good unicycle for me.

*Well, I have a torker LX but my weight keeps setting me back. I
weigh about 220-225 lbs. And of course, a torker LX isn't going to
take much especially since I am over weight. I don't really know what
to do, I keep bending my cranks and other stuff. I am just pretty
much looking for another unicycle. But I don't have the money yet.
Any suggestions? *

You are going to need a splined setup. Unless you plan on never abusing
the uni, you will need to go splined. Onza has splined munis and trials
that are relatively cheap and strong...

Is trials what you want to do?

If so then it sounds like a splined trials set-up is the way to go.

However, from your last post it sounded a little as if you may be
thinking trials uni simply because they're stronger and better able to
cope with your weight?

If that's the case then it's worth asking what aspects of unicycling
appeal to you.

If for example (like me) it's mainly just riding (as opposed to pulling
stunts) then maybe a fair quality, unsplined 24 or 29" uni would be an
option.

They won't take abuse, but then they don't need to as you'll be using
them for straight riding without high drops etc.

Hmmm...yeah, losing weight would be the best idea. But it's hard you
see, I have a very slow metabilism. I don't eat as much as most people
my size, I gained it and I can't loose it. But I Don't care much about
that. Thanks for the websites.

Save up.

Yes, you should wait until you can afford something splined.

Until then, you can still ride a lot but you'll have to cut out the hops
and drops to preserve your hardware. There's plenty of other cool riding
stuff you can do in the meantime. Like trails.

let it be known TOTAL and total_uni are not the same person.

i would agree with john, work on other aspects of unicycling you can tie
in with your current street skills.

handle.You could get 20" or 24".
