  1. Sorry to bother you again with my "what uni should I buy questions."
    It seems I have more money available for a new unicycle than I thought.
    I can spend about 200$. As I said in the thread about the LX, I want a
    24" unicycle for freestyle, general riding, and light muni. I am
    considering either the Torker DX 24" from eBay or the Nimbus II 24" from
    unicycle.com http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=742 ,
    probably the Nimbus.
    So has anyone had any experience with the Nimbus?
    Does it have a good strong rim?
    Also, I see it has 2.5 inch tire. Would a tire of that width make
    freestyle easier or harder? (I usually use a 1.75"😉

  2. Just briefly-

    Nimbii are superb machines (as long as you're not doing high drops, in
    which case you'll need a splined set-up).

    Do a search of the board using 'nimbus' and you'll find loads of stuff
    about them.

    For muni, consider getting a bigger tyre eg 3" contra/duro/leapard.

  3. Yeah Nimbus are great. They feel pretty solid. The cranks are the weak
    point i think. So if you're not going to go splined, i'd say spend an
    extra 30-40 ona good pair of cotterless cranks.

  5. Good. Its a good uni and will last you a while, When the cranks bend,(if
    you do a drop higher than 2' they will) buy some BicycleEuros.
