  2. Which Qu-Ax trials unicycle is he getting, the square taper one or the
    splined one? The splined one is a very good price for the strength, I
    dont have any experince with the unsplined one though.

  3. In france, lots of people ride Qu-ax unis...
    Don't purchase a square tappers one (qu-ax cross 20'😉 if you intend to
    drop higher than one foot. the red hub makes it recognisable. On the
    other hand the "yellow hub" one is splined and rock-solid... the main
    drawback with this uni is its weight, way too heavy for trials high
    performance.

  4. he is planning on getting the red hub. i recommended that he got the
    better one but he is not willing to pay more than £130. turns out that
    he won't be doing big drops for a while as he can't hop yet.

  5. I've owned a Qu-ax Trials 20" non-splined hub (its red) since I bought
    one at BUC. I researched a lot before buying it - I fully recommend it.
    It amazed me how much difference a lightweight machine really makes (my
    last 20" was a heavyweight Pashley).

    Plus points:
    - light weight
    - comfy saddle
    - Big volume Maxis Creepy Crawler tyre
    - It looks damn cool 😎

    Minus points:
    - No 'nose' on saddle, but the bumper is just big enough to hook 4
    fingers into for hopping.
    - Not a splined hub

  6. Quoted message said:

    I fully recommend it.

    i will tell him that. tony has got one and when i went on it it felt
    like the cranks were bent. are his just bent or are they all like
    that?

    I remember who you are. you went on the local muni at buc just after you
    bought the qu-ax and you were telling connie about it.

  7. The cranks might have felt a bit funny due to the dog end cranks (I'm
    sure theres a better, technically correct term but I don't know it).

    Yes, that was me, being privileged enough to address the almighty
