  4. The frame looks weird; I think it may be a case where there are flaws
    introduced by an unusual design. But we'll have to see over the long
    haul.

    I like that they increased the seat post diameter and upgraded the seat
    (although a Fusion Freeride would have been better than the older
    Velo).

    I would have preferred 36 spokes to 48.

    But overall I think it looks like a cool ride that will definitely take
    a bite out of the Nimbus market, especially if they deliver it at $339
    as was formerly listed on their site.

  5. Wow, looks pretty awesome. Way more higher-end features than I expected!
    If they can manage to keep the price similar to the original Cokers
    that would be pretty amazing. The frame will remain a question mark
    until people get it into their hands and give it a try.

    Which of course brings up the question: When?
    Also: How much?

  8. They say pre orders taken in Oct. One more big announcement planned for
    next week. I sure hope it isn't the weight !
    Looks really good to me. For sure the price will be way higher then
    340$. All those ungraded parts. 48 ss spokes, you may prefer 36, but
    someones going to pay for the extra 12. I want to know the weight and
    what the riders think. I bet Terry is talking himself into buying one,
    I'll wait for the movie !, then maybe get one. 🙂

  11. Looks like they stayed with the familar button tire. "Ribbed XLR tire"
    sounds a little bit like the TA. I'm happy it has brake bosses.
    "Touring handlebar" Think it will be a T7?

    I'm highly skeptical of the $449 price. I'll be impressed if they keep
    this under $500. It would still be value priced compared to the Nimbus
    Deluxe at $599

    It also appears that they didn't change the tire design,

    At the bottom left of the image, there's a reference to the new XLR
    tire. Is that a new tire? Everything listed at the bottom might be
    where they may make their money - with addons.

    I found it interesting that the frame is made in Chattanooga, not
    China. I wonder if we will be able to just buy the wheelset. I have
    all the rest of the parts except the frame, which I can pick up used
    somewhere.

    All in all, I am excited.

  13. I wanna know if the frame will be available separately. I have no use
    whatsoever for a 48-spoke wheel, the 7/8" frame tubing can be cut up
    and used for handlebars, and, I'd have a pair of bearing holders left
    over to build another V-frame! 😎

  15. I'm curious as to how an extra 12 spokes gets everyone's panties in a
    bunch. The added weight is, what, about 100g? Being that they shaved
    about 600g off the original Coker rim, you're still left with a lighter
    wheelset.

    Even better, the "extra" 100g is located closer to the center of the
    wheel, where mass makes less of a difference in the inertia of the
    wheel.

    So... what gives?

    It's unnecessary and reduces compatibility with other parts.

  18. coker and qu-ax wheelsets will likely have interchangeable parts now as
    theyre both 48 spoke cycles. I still fail to see what the frame design
    is going to do for you here. The nimbus/hunter style V frame had its
    advantages because of the angle of the forks and the smaller tubing
    size. This doesn't do that and seems like it may be unstable and also
    heavier than your average oceanliner.

  19. Here's the deal lads.

    If you didn't po'st here, ple' (http://tinyurl.com/2855au)ase feel free
    to hold off on the crit, k?

    This company went out there and put the highest spec, off the shelf,
    big-wheel uni on the market and all you guys can do is nitpick and
    complain?

    I'm not suggesting that you 'have' to like it, but please bear in mind
    that these people came to 'us' to ask for our input while they were
    developing this uni. This machine, while it may not be every
    long-distance rider's wet-dream, is likely to do more for the sport of
    distance unicycling than anything else to hit the market in the past 20
    years.

    And the only other thing to hit this market in the past twenty years
    and have an appreciable impact was the 36" pneumatic tyre, made by...?
    Yeah.

    A little respect goes a long way.

    I also don't quite understand how you can complain about the frame
    'adding weight'.
    Is it the 'Hunter frame' that people have been singing folk-songs
    about?
    And that also involves four pillars reaching from the seat-post down to
    the bearing housing?
    Just in a slightly different configuration?
    Odd that...

    There is also mention of a new ribbed tyre, for more pleasure,
    obviously, so we can hold off on crit about the tyre for the time
    being.

    All together now..."We Love You Coker Tyre Company, We Do...

    Bear in mind, my criticism is of that unicycle, not the Coker company.
