I tried looking for an FAQ, but i could only find a maintenance one not a group one (for questions such as this...)
I used to have an old pashley uni, but i gave up and sold it (youth...) i'm wanting to get back into it, and i'm looking at getting a uni that is hard wearing and will get me to the train station in the morning (3/4 mile), i also juggle so some crossover potential.
The uni that has caught my eye is the 20" Koxx Freestyle, what's your thoughts on this for a beginner (I'm gunna be sticking at this), Pro's Con's, Alternatives???

A disadvantage of any 20" is that it's rather slow. For 3/4 mile to the station it is still allrightish though. You mentioned juggling. Would that be on your way to the station, or on a stage as a performer? For stages, a 20" is usually the best size. Otherwise a 24" might be an alternative, e.g. Semcycle XL 24", or Torker 24". It would be fine for juggling while riding and it'll take you to the station faster - just in time to catch that train you'd missed if you'd bought the 20".

I have to agree with this. If you are not performing on a stage, a 24" unicycle would probably be better. It is slightly better for doing a longer distance than te 20" is. The 20" is slightly easier for doing tricks and such on. I guess it really depends on what you are using it for primarily.
