Help!! gravity vs torker + extra.

What do you want to do? I would avoid both of those just because of the
saddles. Torker makes a saddle with a handle that is much better.

If you can, go for at least the black Torker LX. Everything about it is
better than the silver CX.

Although if money is an issue, I would also recomend the Torker over
the Gravity.

As Forrest said, I recommend atleast going with the Torker LX, the next
step up from that torker. The LX is a nice light and sturdy unicycle, I
learned on it and It's even holding up fairly well as I progress in
muni.

The Torker is the way to go. Ive been learning on a LX and it's holding
up really nice!
Also the Torker's forks are flat so you can use it for one footed
riding, the Gravity's forks are not.
Torker is a great company that also makes Redline

Make that one more vote for the Torker LX. The CX is what I learned on,
but it's about useless after you learn. The LX is much more functional
with a much better saddle and stronger wheelset.

I once rode my 24 inch LX 40 miles in a day. 😄

I ordered a CX today, and my parents still think it's a crapload of
money to spend on half a bike (their words, not mine). It's sort of
discouraging...they're not really supportive at all.

That's what I keep trying to tell them.

Was it a mistake on my part to go for the cost-efficient uni over the
more durable one?

Especially when your learning! The LX is perfect for beginners like
you and me....they are durable but not expensive.

I know but the thing is, it's about ~$20 more than the CX I bought...and
they already think the $100 or so I paid for the CX is waaaay too much
to be spending on a unicycle, because again, they think it's a waste of
money. I was kind of caught in a bind, so I just got the CX. Is the CX
really all -that- bad?

No, not too bad. It's OK to learn on. However, as you progress, you
will probably have to buy another or replace some components to have a
"pro"-er uni.
