  7. how useful is it compared to a normal trials/ street uni? Because if I
    ever bought a freestyle uni, this sounds like it would be better.

  8. i have one. there nice and if ur rough on them the cranks wont get
    jacked up as much. but the drops part that u were talking about i wont
    try that much. a freestyle frame isnt made to do that and will brake.
    but the spilded hub is nice.

  10. I read that the new Qu-ax "Professional" uses an ISIS hub. That's how it
    is advertised at 'municycle.com' (http://tinyurl.com/erfu8).

    Seems quite unbelievable at that price point, but I think this is no
    typo.

    QUOTE]

    I think that the frame is one of the most important parts on a
    freestyle unicycle. A friend of me has build a unicycle with a longneck
    frame, the old onza hub, a 1.95 tire and a miyata seat. But it is not
    very nice to ride because the cranks are to long.

    To the optimist, the glass is half full.
    To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
    To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

  15. ok, taking what you have said, how about this

    kris holm frame $200
    kris holm seatpost $25
    UDC gel saddle $40
    maxxis hookworm $13
    koxx 110mm. cranks $80
    koxx hub $70
    spokes $20
    alex triple wall rim $50
    torker lx pedals $10

    total $508

    edit: will the koxx cranks/hub work with the kh frame? I'm pretty sure
    UDC.uk has a uni with it...

    Thats not splined though.

    I have evan's old street uni. It is really good for freestyle, I
    probably won't be using the splined hub for big stuff but its still
    nice that it is there and I could go big on it if I wanted.

    I would definately use it for any combination of unispins and drops🙂

  18. I think the koxx freestyle frame is very expensive, in germany, a normal
    long neck frame cost only 35€ and the koxx something like 50€. And the
    koxx is, in my eyes, very bad for freestyle because of the "nimbus"
    style. But koxx has build a very good lightweight freestyle unicycle
    which weights only 4kg maybe this with a splinted hub would be the
    ultimate splinted freestyle unicycle.

  19. yea, and with a stronger rim, because i dont think the koxx freestyle
    rim is very strong. I'm probably wrong though. also, when doing standup
    tricks, does the seat clamp really get in the way that much?
