  2. First, I think there are like 242 grams to a pound.

    With that said, unicycle.com says profile is 2lb hub, and each crank is
    1/2lb, totaling up to 3lbs. I think that's 170s.

    How 'like' is 'like'? There are 453.592 grams in one pound (i.e., 1
    lb).

    If there are 453.592 grams in one pound, how many dogs does each Gram
    own?

  5. QU-AX hub = 680g
    145mm cranks = 706g

    24" Halo SAS rim = 674g
    48 spokes for the above with nipples = 320g

    I would have finished building it for you, BUT now you have made me take
    it apart to weigh it 🙂

  6. LOL

    Sorry, I was reciting a stat I heard about 15 months ago, so I wasn't
    sure if it was 453 or 242. I had both numbers inmy head, and just
    couldn't remember which was which.

  9. remember the qu-ax will weigh more as it is a 48 hole hub so the wheel
    set will weigh more but it's v strong!! It's a nice cheep muni i have
    one i think rodger has some 2 sell. and @ £10 more then a nimbus it's a
    great deal!!

  11. the only bad thing is the saddle the mud sticks 2 it!
    the frame is v wide u will hit ur knees 4 like a week but after that
    it's fine trust me. I might b getting a different frame for it sometime
    tho as it is fairly heavy and v strong i might get the cheaper frame off
