  2. depending on your weight, that will do fine. The most bombproof
    unicycles are the Quax 1400, Nimbus trials, and the torker dx. For
    weight Freaxs, the one you mentioned, KH, or a street uni.

    ed.hurrell: is there a reason I can't get mine rock hard?
    Danni: If you keep on pumping, it should become rock hard. It might
    have a slow leek.
    kington99: If it won't get hard regardless of how much you pump it,
    you've got a puncture somewhere.
    Me: err what were they talking about?

    You aren't making much sense, or putting in much information.

    The Kris Holm unicycle is one of the strongest out there, even if it
    isn't indestructible. It has a very strong frame, and strong hub and
    cranks (even if the hub flanges are prone to bending a bit). The rim is
    drilled so isn't exceptionally strong, but it is nice and wide.

    The qu_ax and nimbus are also similarly strong, but heavier and have
    skinnier rims.

    The dx has a pretty weak, bulky frame, skinny although strong rim, and
    heavy, strong hub and cranks.

    The main thing to remember, is that just because one unicycle might be
    stronger than another, it doesn't mean that the other ones aren't still
    strong.
    Almost every splined uni out there is pretty solidly built, so the main
    differences are how they ride, look, and weight.

    I hope that helps a little.
    Miles

    edit: So yeah, it really depends on how much you want to spend for the
    weight, the look, and the individual parts.

    also, please learn to spell and punctuate 🙂

  5. Do the newer Qu-ax cranks still have the nubs that shread your ankles
    everytime you go to ride them?

  9. The Quax Crossfire is awesome..the only especially weak thing is the
    cranks...but you wont bend them for a while and when you do you just
    get moments or something.

    I used to have it...it was very solid...
