  2. 160-175mm i would be using this for light MUni most likely so im
    looking for something strong but i dont want to spend the money on a
    splined set up.

  3. most non splined hubs are the same in terms of strength i think...there
    isnt really a best or worst. i would recomend saving for a splined
    it'll be worth it in the long run.

  4. There has been at least one other discussion on this in the not so
    distant past. Maybe try a search.

    Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving in a
    pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly
    used up, totally worn out, and loudly declaring, "WOW what a ride!"

    yeah well i already have a splined MUni, but see at school im part of
    this thing we call outdoor ed where we go whitewater canoeing, and we
    do some hiking. I asked the teacher if i could bring my MUni on the
    hikes and he said i could. I dont really want to bring my Splined one
    to school, because if someone stole it, or broke that would be bad. So
    i thought a lighter MUni with a little less value would be a good idea.
    None of the riding would really require a Splined hub, so im not too
    worried about busting it up on the trails. The only other option would
    be to beef up my sun 28 with a different tire and the allow rim.

  8. Renegade Juggling has the Koxx ISIS hub and cranks for not much more
    than a square taper setup:

    Actually a decent square taper setup would be about the same price, or
    a little more. The cost is in the cranks, not the hub.

    What do you mean by "best"? I think the strongest non-splined
    unicycling hub is the Muniac Drastic Light Foot. But it is expensive
    and (I think) you can't change the cranks yourself.

  11. If you are getting a non-splined hub make sure it is cotterless not
    cottered. And if you want it to have any strength get one that is CroMo
    not standard steel.

    eg http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=738 from
    unicycle.com which at $25 (+$25 for cranks = $50) is cheaper than Koxx
    splined $69 (+$79 for cranks=$148), but the splined hub & crankset will
    be stronger.

  12. Easily the Nimbus MUni
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=745 a very very strong
    uni. I had a trials one and i did 1m + drops on it
    I STRONGLY reccomend it.
