  1. Ok well, i've been looking around, i'm thinking to get my fourth uni. I
    have a bedford cross-country (i think) and I bent the cranks pretty
    good, and so i was wondering. New uni, or new cranks and hub. What kinda
    uni, or what kinda cranks/hub? I got a buget of about 500. Thanks!

  3. well I'm in to trials a bit (5 foot drop is hiest so far) and I aslo
    enjoy some muni. I dont' mind using my muni for trials, but the reason
    why i dont' want to get a whole other uncicyle (trials) is that i could
    probably make my unicycle i have right now stronger with 400$ than a
    trials that I were to buy for 400$.

    Are you into trials or big drops?

    The new KH uni's sound great. They look like they have the most bang for
    the buck, and seem plenty strong. If you want anywhere near a decent
    warranty though, you need to step up to profile. A profile hub put onto
    your current muni should be plenty good. If all you are doing is big
    drops, you will be fine on a 24" wheel. If you plan to go anywhere
    deeper into trials (big ups, precise pedalgrabs), you may want to look
    up some of the old threads with the debate between 20" and 24" for
    trials and muni. I will tell you now, though, that the pedals bottom out
    *way* too easily on a trials uni for decent muni riding. After a strong
    hub, you should make sure you have a strong rim with well-tensioned
    spokes. A dx-32 or doublewide should be plenty. If you do end up getting
    new spokes, get DT. I got generics, and payed the price. They suck.
