  1. I have 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/ae87h)
    but i was thinking of buying 'this' (http://tinyurl.com/ubkta).
    i want a lighter uni, as the qu-ax is heavy.

    The KH is 5.65kg and the quax is 6.55kg Does that 900g make a big
    difference. Is it worth it? Anyone want to buy my qu-ax if i decide on
    the KH? Read 'THIS' (http://tinyurl.com/ybgfvq) thread if u do.

    thanks in advance

  2. I agree altough it also depends on what you want to do:
    More street get the KH with shorter cranks
    More trials keep the Qu-ax.
    The nice thing with the KH is the ISIS splines. (more crank
    length/futer compatability/upgrade options.)

    long cranks work just fine for street.

  6. I have the Qu-ax splined 24" version. It was very heavy until I got new
    pedals, KH saddle and a new tyre. Now it's much much better than before
    and much lighter. Maybe you want to do the same(especially the saddle
    and pedals). The stock qu-ax saddle probably makes up about half of the
    whole uni weight.

    I have already brought a KH fusion freeride saddle and snufnu pedels(
    or whatever there called). Will a Kh frame fit on this uni? i would
    also need a new seatport right?

    cheers

  8. You already have a great uni, you dont need the KH.

    Th Qu-Ax isnt even that heavy, just ride it and get stronger. Problem
    solved.

  9. I got the KH and my friend a qu-ax.
    Glad I don't have a qu-ax: it's soheavy.
    He has seen the light to and is switching to KH to.
    Soon we will take over the world 😉
    KH is just the best, live with it 😎

    well as I can ride a lighter one.

    Well I got the 2007 version (except the rim) and I tell you, it is the
    right thing to do 😄
    It's so sexy, light and strong.
    I thought the welding would be [censored], like I discussed on another treath
    when it first came out, but the welds are prety sexy and good on my
    frame so I'm very happy.

  18. I say just keep the Qu-Ax and get the camcorder, and if you have the
    money left, a KH frame maybe.

    Is the whole 900 grams really that big of a deal? I mean, how much
    higher can you possibly hop beause of a whole 0.9 kg? I understand it
    might be easier to do unispins and stuff, but the right technique would
    also help.

    It's very simple

    1)Keep Qu-Ax
    2)Buy camcorder
    3)Film riding
    4)Make video of awesome riding on Qu-Ax
    5)Show everyone that the whole 900 grams didn't make a difference to
    your awesome video that you wouldn't have been able to make had you
    actually got the 900 grams lighter.

    'nuff said.
