  1. i am debating on which uni i should get.Either a Torker Dx 20" , or a
    used Yuni with the UDC wide hub. I am gonna take it on some bike trails,
    but i also enjoy a freestyle ride. im thinking that the Dx is a better
    choice with the splined hub/crankset, plus the knobby tire would be
    easyer for freestyle, while maintaning a good trails grip. However, the
    Yuni is much cheeper, but has a viscount saddle w/ a cut seatpost. So
    ill probly end up getting a new saddle for it. what do you think?

  2. Get the torker DX, definetly. It's stronger, and more trail-ready than
    the yuni. No doubt.

  3. Quoted message said:

    Actually, you generally want a fairly slick tire for freestyle. A knobby
    just isn't very good for spins/pirouettes.

  5. Id say the DX if your doing drops and any amount of hard
    hopping/landing.
