flyer said:*The one from UDC has a hand-built superstrong wheel. I don't think
the Sem has that, and those are expensive.*
The wheels of Semcycle are all hand-made... by Semcycle.
They even make 'custom wheels' (http://semcycle.nl/img/dicycleS.jpg) for
ages. No need to doubt their expertise.
The upgraded Semcycle XL will have a rim like the semcycle-pro. It's
like the Primo's Hoola Hoop; definitly stronger.
The upgraded Semcycle XL wheel will have a heat-treathed chromoly
cranks, the unicycle.com model not.
The upgraded Semcycle XL has heat-treathed chrome plated crancks, the
unicycle.com model not.
The upgraded Semcycle XL has heat-treathed chromoly hub, the
unicycle.com model not.
The upgraded Semcycle XL has heat-treathed chrome plated crancks, the
unicycle.com model not.
The upgraded Semcycle XL had pedals with heat-treathed chromoly axes in
the pedal, the unicycle.com model not.
The upgraded Semcycle XL comes with a Primo the Wall, the unicycle.com
model not.
And again:
The Semcycle XL model cost less than the unicycle.com model.
So, when using the word expensive, address it to the model of
unicycle.com.

used to riding on a nice cushy KH. Mine doesn't bother me now*
The Semcycle seat has less contact with the innerleg. And has less
suspension. Just for the same reason why tour de France bicycles have
such tuff saddles. On the long term a too "sponge"-like seat will be
very uncomfortable.
Besides that; the Semcycle seat excist of 3 parts (including a metal!
plate), which you all can replace. Ha!

*Leo said the upgraded tire you can get is the Primo "the wall" tire.
The Primo "the wall tire" on UDC says it comes in either 1.85 or 2.1.
Which size would come with the semcycle?*
I don't know what width comes by default at Semcycle. But I do know
they have both in stock, and there is no price difference. So I'm sure a
phone-call will give you what you prefer.

*Also is it harder to do tricks like wheel walk and hop on tyre on a
freestyle uni than a trials uni because it is skinnier? I was trying
these tricks on my 20" generic with a 20x1.75 tire and i was having
trouble doing them. Will it just take some getting used to?*
The 1.85 has less contact with the floor, so it's a bit easier to make
your manoeuvres.
If you put extra air in the 2.10 they come very close.
Same for the small difference between 1.75 and 1.85
The 2.10 tire in combination with this frame is the shortest distance
between tire and fork-crown. That's excellent for all stand-up skills.
And yes, slightly easier for ww things. But like you indicated yourself,
it just takes a little getting used to. No big deal.
Personally I prefer the 1.85 model, but just because I was used to 1.75
in the past, but also because I usually ride the Semcycle Pro model
which is unsuitable for stand-up skills. So basicly just do what you
think is right for you.

*on semcycle.com it says it comes with 125 mm cranks. Is there any
noticeable difference with 125 mm and 127 mm cranks?*
If you suddenly extend my crancks by (2*2=) 4 milimeters in total, I
guess I will notice. And I'm sure I rather would see you decreased my
125 mm. pedals each by 2 mm!
Many freestyle riders use 110 mm. (Semcycle use to have theirs also
available in 110).
So --to me-- the question 127 mm. OR 125 mm. is an easy one: 125 mm!
