why thanks! It's fun to be a geek and feel so cool.

I've been playing dodge the beagle with it in the living room since I
have ice on, I have to go outside (like it's any safer inside...). I'll
be in a splint for a few days, but I have full movement, so I'll be
fine.

Mr. Potter: is there a connection between the Nimbus line of Unis and
the Nimbus 2000 broom? My son wants to know.

I thought Nimbus had the same etymology as Nimble, but how wrong.

Main Entry: nim·bus
Pronunciation: 'nim-b&s
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural nim·bi /-"bI, -"bE/; or nim·bus·es
Etymology: Latin, rainstorm, cloud; probably akin to Latin nebula cloud
-- more at NEBULA
1 a : a luminous vapor, cloud, or atmosphere about a god or goddess when
on earth b : a cloud or atmosphere (as of romance) about a person or
thing
2 : an indication (as a circle) of radiant light or glory about the head
of a drawn or sculptured divinity, saint, or sovereign
3 a : a rain cloud b : THUNDERHEAD; also : CUMULUS 2
[nimbus illustration]

Whereas 'Nimble' comes from the same root as number, meaning many,
controlling many and therefore quick and dextrous.

Which came first, the unicycle or the broom? I wager the author of the
Potter storied knew what a Nimbus unicycle was...

Nimbus 2 20" with a KH seat and a hookworm wheel from Unicycle.com

Did yours come with the Hookworm tire? My brother got a red Nimbus II
20" and it came with a white Kenda tire.

Upgrading ones unicycle can definitely help a lot. When I switched from
a Torker CX 24" to a Nimbus II 24" I started to learn stuff a lot
faster.

Hi jsm,
I had them put the hookworm tire on it. They sent the white kenda too
becasue I paid for it. The orange and gray does look better than the
white in my assessment. I talked with Amy(?)at Unicycle.com, she said
the next batch of Nimbus unis probably not have white tires, but they
haven't heard much in the way of preference from riders buying the unis.
SO SPEAK UP, RIDERS! They are a company that seems to care!

I can't tell you the difference in ride between a kenda 20" and the
hookworm. Maybe there's a post on it somewhere. My Kenda 24" has corners
on it, the hookworm is a torus, a circle in a radial cross section. I
sure can feel that diffference, leaning is very free, I don't have to
get over that ridge on the tire.

The tire didn't cost much on its own, Your bro should pick one up if he
likes it and he think it might ride better!
