New Unicycle - Punk!

Never heard of it. Link please? Also can't tell if it's a decent upgrade
without knowing what you are upgrading *from*.

There is a link in his post. It's a Numbus II frame, UDC hub,
aluminium rim and 114 cranks. Never heard of the saddle though.
Sounds quite a decent freestyle machine.

better and wont break as easily.

nimbus 2 frames are terrible for freestyle. The only really good frames
are the Semcycle XL longneck, K1 Signature(I can tell by sight and
specs, I have not actually ridden it, though it looks heavenly), and
the nimbus X is also pretty decent (though continuous standup can be
somewhat painful).

I wouldn't go with that either, since it has the same terrible shape as
the nimbus 2.

naaa its not a terrible shape at all, its only over fussy people that
find it difficult, long necks are unnecessary they make very little
difference, ill probably be slated for saying that but i don't care, i
ride that qu-ax for freestyle i stand up glide, daiki walk, stand up
ww, almost stand up kush kush and i never bang my ankles or anything
and foot position is not a problem

The long neck is important for SIF no handed, and the crown really does
make a huge difference. It hurts your feet and has to much clearance,
very important for standup tricks.

It's fun to see how low you can go backwards. Otherwise it is kind of
stupid I agree.

What do you want to do w/ this uni?

Looks decent for just freesyle, but I'd spend a bit more for splined
like 'this Nimbus' (http://tinyurl.com/4vgknm). I bet that Qu-Ax
posted above only has the light "ISIS" hub, not nearly as strong as the
Nimbus' hub.

I don't like the crown on the 20" Nimbus X. If the crown was wider
like the Street or 24" X I might like it. For me, a rounded crown is
better than the 20" X, and the II style significantly better.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

Its a good uni, and youll thoroughly enjoy it, specially for freestyle.

I dont recommend you do too many drops with it, as it will break after
a while. But, it will hold up pretty well, so learning the basics opf
trials, muni, street, and flatland wont be all that bad.

Thanks for your comments. I want the Uni for more freestlye so maybe it
is worth spending more and getting as Nimbus. I would rather get
something thats going to last. The Nimbus ISIS hub looks good. I phoned
Unicycle.com (UK) for some more advice and the Lady I spoke too was
really helpful. She also recommended the Nimbus II or Nimbus X.
