New Unicycle

Good choice, i was going to reccomend a 29". Your options are:

a freestyle - a nimbus of some sort would be good
a muni - Qu-Ax downhill is on offer at £185 i think, very good for the
money
distance - you could just about afford a 36 but you'd need atleast a
better saddle before you could really use it, which puts it out of
range, 29 is a better idea particularly if you've only ridden 20"
before.
Something novelty - giraffe, two wheeler, BC wheel, ultimate wheel

Really depends what style of riding you want to do.

cheers.

freestyle not my type.
the qu-ax muni is almost exactly the same as my qu-ax trials🙁 i no
theres a dif but still my parents will moan. " the both the look the
same to me!" and all that **** lol.
36 will be bad for stop starting on a paper round🙁
novelty things only stay novelty for a lol while🙁

any more ideas will be welcomed😄

I agree with your logic on all of those, the only other thing i can
think of is a 26" muni which will be a bit futher removed from your
trials uni and give you fairly decent speed for getting around. Again i
would reccomend the nimbus muni. Pashley are a decent brand but they've
failed to move with the times and their stuff is outdated.

There no MUni spots where i am. i think the nimbus 29" will be best.

Seems like you want a nice manuverable commuter uni. A 29er will be
great for that, or a 26 with shorter cranks. But I would just go right
to the 29er.

If you really want an amazing 29er, KH has 'this'
(http://tinyurl.com/yyem64) 29er for sale. It has a very light and
strong everything on it. I new modified seat for a comfier ride.
Splined hub and crankset for tons of strength, and the frame will never
brake on you. =p

There is also the 'nimbus 29er' (http://tinyurl.com/sb31). It has
regular cotter-less hub and cranks, which are still great for commuting
on. A good frame and seat, and has a ncie price.

Torker also has a new line of unicycles called AX. Not much is known
about the Torker AX unis yet but from the pictures, they seems very
well for commuting around on.

EDIT: If you do end up deciding on a 26inch uni for some reason, make
sure that you get a decent road tire on it and not a sluggish knobby
tire used for off-road. It will make the riding a lot easier and
smoother.

Unfortunately Torker unicycles are not available in the UK, I have
successfully imported one before but it is a lot of hassle, so I
probably wouldn't think too hard about the AX.
