  1. Among riders what is considered to be the best trials unciycle? And
    what is considered to be the best muni? With out breaks. They all seem
    so similar, but do some have the edge?

    Ti is sexy and light. But it can be argued that that style of frame is
    not the best. The Miyata bearing holders are a problem on that kind of
    frame.

    The current aluminum KH frames look nice. We'll have to see how they
    hold up longer term. Aluminum is nice and is light but is not always
    the best material for a frame that gets beat up or abused. For pure
    durability a chromoly steel frame is going to be better.

    well of course, custom frames always beat out other frames by a looong
    shot. but the best mass-produced frame....I'd say is the new KH. yeah,
    the blue one. with noodles on top.

    I believe the Yuni frames are made of such a material... I've two
    frames, one 20"er and one 24"er and they've both taken a severe beating
    (trials and muni riding) for at least a year without showing much more
    than a couple tiny scratches... no dents, no breaks. Slap a Profile hub
    / crankset onto one of these babies and you've got yourself a
    bulletproof ride 🙂

    It's not _what_ you ride, it's _how_ you ride.

    If anything "sucks balls" its your attitude.

    You got me interested, so I did a little Googling...

    Unicycle.com says the Yuni has a "Chromed steel frame"...

    Hi-Tensile steels are "special constructional steels which develop high
    yield, tensile and fatigue strengths, as well as excellent toughness
    when subjected to a quenching and tempering"...

    Cr-Mo is the composition of the steel... Hi-Tensile steels can be made
    of Cr-Mo, Ni-Cr-Mo, Ni-Cr-Fe-Mo, Ni-Cr, the list is endless...

    So, I conclude (from my 5 minute hack-job research), Cr-Mo steel can be
    a Hi-Tensile metal.

  15. In my opinion the current KH frame (the ally one) is by far and away the
    best production frame in production. In terms of design it works very
    well as a jack of all trades which is what most people want.

    It was designed to be WW and glideable whilst still having plenty of
    clearance for the legs.

    I believe it's the best you're going to get without going to a custom
    frame designed for a specific purpose.

    The hub on the other hand is perfect.

    I was chuffed to bits when production started.

  16. does GB4 count as a custom job? i have a muni and trials from him and
    they are both fantastic. plus his stiffener plates make most seats
    better.

  18. What about that Semper (did I spell that right?) frame from Flint
    Michigan? That was supposed to be light. Did Ryan have any problems
    with the second frame? Wasn't Jeff riding one, too?

    Opionions, sounds like opium that makes u cry...

    I was just wondering how many ppl have broken their frames whilst
    unicycling, because that would be the best way to find out which frames
    are the best. As far as I've heard, frames tend to last the longest out
    of everything on a unicycle (not including the seatpost when i say
    frames), and when you say is KH the best, do you mean the strongest,
    best looking, most resistant to drops, the bearing holders being the
    best???

  20. All around quality of the unicycle. I don't care how it looks or the
    seat. I would like to buy a trials cycle and a MUni. I'm mainaly
    looking at the 19" KH Trials and the 24" KH Freeride. They look nice
    and are pretty expensive. But are they the best I can get?

    And what is the difference between freestyle and trials?
