  1. Right now I have a torker lx and my brother just got a torker dx and its
    so much easier to ride and jump higher. But I would rather not get the
    same unicycle as him so what is a good unicycle for trials? I am
    looking to spend around $200 to maybe $350 or so on it. Also where is
    a good site to buy unicycles from?

  2. ae bike.com
    email them to get a price on a KH
    it will cost around 375, but you won't ever have to buy a unicycle
    again.
    actually, you want to call them every day if you are interested. find
    out the day they get them in, should be pretty soon now.

    they will sell out REALLY FAST!

  3. the quax unicycles are good too, any "splined" unicycle will work. if
    you dont know what that is, your brothers DX is splined and your LX is
    cotterless or square taper.

    Yeah, thats true. They used to offer $375 but they upped it to
    somewhere around $400, yes $400 even if you call. If you don't call
    then its the same price as from unicycle.com. If you do call and ask
    though let us know whats up.

    hey,....
    i have herad that story. you needs to get a KH/onza cranks, blue koxx
    rim, black bedford frame, blue 06 KH seat with jim C,s before you can
    upgrade...
    at least thats how the other story i have heard goes.

  8. well im not going to upgrade my old unicycle I am gong to get a whole
    new unicycle. The KH ones are a lot of money I dont know if I want to
    spend that much on them. I like the onza ones but I cant find very
    many places to buy them. The Koxx ones look nice too but they cost so
    much. I dont know I might call ae and see how much I can get a KH
    unicycle for.

    If the KH is still too much for you from aebikes, get a Qu-Ax.

    Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
    are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
    time do it along the way.
    Parafrasing a pro skater when asked for advise to kids who wanted to
    get much better and maybee turn pro one day.

    thats what mine is and it's awesome... i don't know much about the red
    hub ... but i highly recomend the standard trials uni.. the one with
    the yellow hub. it is a great price and it is nearly industructble as
    far as im concerned. it is also a considerable amount lighter than the
    DX.
