  1. I picked up a fresh jar of Marmite at an 'Australian Bakery'
    (http://www.australianbakery.com/) in Atlanta in anticipation of this
    new product. I know it is going to be worth it. I can think of other
    accessories as well. Just waiting for the official release so I can
    color coordinate the accessories with the final design.

    Wow, actually that is pretty exciting. I know it'll have limited
    appeal, as there's not many off-road muniers out there... but I'm sure
    there'll be more now.

    Looking forward to some better pictures, and reading some reviews.

    I reckon that this new knightrider tyre is designed to be fast rolling
    on road, whilst having enough tread removed in strategic places to make
    it grip better off road than the current tyres. I wonder if this makes
    it lighter or not?

  9. I will hopefully be ordering this soon - the coker tire kinda blows the
    big one in snow, and it's pretty snowy here right now.

    woop woop!

  13. Sweet, so new tire, new rim, and new T7 handle?!

    Any word on whether or not the new rim is double walled? It looks
    pretty thin.

  14. I couldn't wait any longer. I just placed my order for the current 36"
    nimbus with the current T7 handle. I'm stoked.

  15. awesome. Can't wait to have one of those tires - thanks for posting the
    top view of the tread, it looks like that might be good both in snow
    and on flat pavement. I've had great experiences with that style of
    tread on my freestyle unicycles, it will be good on my coker 🙂

    Joe

    That is a very good question. Still looks like alot of rubber. There
    was a thread back when that compared the weights of the Coker and TA
    36" tires, and while there was some variation due to manufacturing
    tolerances and tire wear, it appeared they were both somewhere around
    1700-1800g(?).

  20. Now to wrap the package all together what choice on hub and handle.

    The new Version 2 T7 bar should be in the package too.

    Can you show a nimbus 36 with all the bells and whistles now that the
    proverbial cat is out of the bag?

    I noticed the Nimbus 36 is no longer posted on UDC
