I'm guessing that's a torker AX 24"? Your cranks look bent, but that
could just be the angle of the picture and the bad camera.

As for manon1wheel, you've got it right on the money

And for zfreak220, it is an LX 24" and after you wrote that I got
worried and checked my uni, the cranks (thankfully) aren't bent

Hey guys,

I am right now using this unicycle for trials.

I was wondering, would I ever be able to get good at trials on this?

Would I be able to jump onto a park bench.

Would it be easier with' this?'
(http://www.unicycle.com/Shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1048)
Could I ever actually get any trials done on it.

I am considering getting a Nimbus Trials ISIS 20 inch.

The nimbus ISIS would be better to do trials on because it has a
splined hub, which means that the axle interface is much better than a
cotterless interface (like on your torker) This is because the ISIS
axle has 10 points of contact (spreads ou the force) while the
cotterless has only 4 points of contact.

I was pleased, but not insanely.

I think it's good for freestyle, but definatley not for trials.

I thought I might put a picture on it and see what you think.

I think I shouldn't have had those last two slices of pizza for lunch.

You'll be able to do a few things with that uni, and yes you could jump
onto a park bench, but if you jump off benches and anything much
higher, you'll risk breaking the hub. A splined hub (such as an ISIS)
would be ideal.

Also, the Hookworm isn't the best tire for trials. The first thing I'd
do to that uni would be to change the tire.

Ride it until you break it, I say, then get a new hub. You can't go
wrong with that!

i like the hookworm. (not for trials though)
my friend got the nimbus isi 24 and thats the standard tire.
He has it at max psi and it is real smooth.
great for riding on pavement.
