    Alex Rim
    Luna Tire
    Primo spokes
    Jim C Pedals
    KH Hub and cranks('03/'04 model)
    Miyata CF base
    Miyata post

    _*Muni:*_

    Bedford frame
    Alex rim(24"😉
    DT Champion Spokes
    IRC Kujo DH tire
    Kona JS pedals
    KH Hub/cranks('03/'04)

    -Phil

  2. I think upgrading your muni to CF would be good if you need it. I think
    the road relief is more than 200 though.

  3. I havnet found any problems with my Muni saddle yet...It hasnt gotten
    beaten around as much as my Trials was.

    Any suggestions that arent for the Muni saddle upgrade?

    I was thinking maybe upgrade to a KH frame for my Trials...

  6. A kh frame would be nice but wouldn't matter too much. A bedford is
    pretty light.

  7. you could get a BC wheel. you don't really need to upgrade anything on
    your muni or trials. you could also get an inexpensive freestyle uni.

  11. you have great unicycles composed of top-of-the-line parts.

    get some beer with your 'play money'.

    donate to a charity?

    buy a bunch of wood to make a trials course?

    i don't see anything that could use an upgrade of $200.

    but I can imagine that a few of your friends might enjoy a nice cold
    one on a friday night 😉

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.

  12. i know how to solve your upgrading problem just give me your trials and
    then start buying new stuff. that would probably be the easiest thing
    to do.

  14. Put it away for a rainy day, the same rainy day that those primo spokes
    go wonky on you. I wouldn't trust primo spokes too much. I was dubious
    when I got them but they were my only choice due to cost. Now I have
    bent a bunch, stripped a couple, and my wheel is so out of true that
    just about half an hour ago I bent the wheel over so much that it got
    stuck against the frame and wouldn't spin, and that was only off a 5
    foot drop, that I didn't even land. I had to use the maidu madness
    method of truing to get it rideable enough to get it home.

    And this wheel was built in APRIL, thats too short for a well built
    wheel.

    Sorry I just felt like ranting, but yeah my suggestion is to put it
    away for a rainy day, you may not see one comming ever but thats why
    they are so crappy, so save for when you really need it.
