Oops 2, THE RETURN OF THE KILLER OOPS!

How/were did the seat post break? It would be better to get a stronger
seat post than replace the whole unicycle just because the seat post
broke.

I was jumping up on a stump(only about 1'😉. It broke right were the
seatpost comes onto the fork. This happened before and We had it
welded back together but the metal was so thin that it broke off again.
There wasn't anything wrong with the weld. It's not fix-able now.

The people at torker said I did😕 . They also said that the
warrenty was void because "...it was soposed to be assembled by an
authorized Torker dealer...". I didn't see anything about that when we
bought it though.

Yeah, you should be able to just email Torker (regardless of where you
bought it) and tell them what happened. Complain about how a $260
unicycle should be able to hold up to more than a few drops, and that
you've heard about how other people's frames have broken the same way.
Tell them that you want a replacement frame shipped to you, and you'll
get it.

EDIT: (a bunch of people posted while I was typing this)
Maybe welding the frame back together would have voided the warranty. I
dont know. I did have a set of cranks break once, and I 'complained'
and they sent me a new set of cranks & pedals, no charge.

What is Torker's e-mail adress? Looking on all the sites and can't find
it anywhere.

Mine did the exact same thing when I hopped once. It's quite common.

People need to stop saying "just email torker and they'll send you a
new one".
I emailed them about it and they replied saying that purchasing items
online doesn't mean that it'll have a lifetime warranty (for whatever
damn reason), and that it must be assembled by an authorized dealer.
Plus, you have to send the broken frame to them so they can inspect it
to determine whether it was a manufacturers error, which is nothing but
a hassal. It's easier to just buy a new nimbus frame on udc.

When mine broke I got it welded back for 10$ and purchased a new nimbus
frame which will be put on when the re-welded frame breaks again.

Do nimbus' work on really extreme techy stuff? I'm into doing big 7'+
drops, thin log-rides, steep muddy/sandy trails and the like and I want
to either fix my dx or get real good muni that would hold up to my
riding.

Yes, nimbus II frames are exelent. they will hold up to ANYTHING. you'll
never need to buy a new frame again. only problem with that frame is
that the biggest tir eit's supposed to hold is a 2.4, but i've heard of
tons of people puting it on their dx so it should be fine.

Haha, you can buy a new MUni but you can't buy a KH frame? I don't know
the retail price over where you live, but a KH frame is 125 euro's at
municycle.com and a decent MUni is 280 euro's.

Nimbus frames are fine, nothing wrong with 'em, it's better than buying
a whole new unicycle just for a frame.

Cheerio,

Dustin
