Some suggestions please

Welcome to the forum! There are many unicyclists in the South Bay... PM
me if you want to get onto our mailing list(s)...

A 'new cotterless hub'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=738) costs $25... the
rest of the cost, presumably, comes in 'the wheel build'
(http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html).

If you're adventurous, you might try rebuilding the wheel yourself.
You'd definitely learn a lot!

Of course, the $25 hub won't stand for much trials or muni. You'd best
look into getting 'a splined hub' (http://tinyurl.com/7frxc)... they're
more expensive, but they'll last much, much longer than any cotterless
hub.

Good luck! Let us know how things work out.

The Torker DX won't break, but it is kind of heavy. If you want to do
trials, that implies some big hops - which will be aided by a lighter
uni.

24" tires seem most common on MUnis, but 20" is preferred for trials.
So what do you really want to do? That being said, I see more 20"
uni's doing Muni than I see 24" uni's doing trials. The 24"ers are
kind of big to be throwing around trials-fashion.

Nimbus, Qu-AX and Onza (all available from UDC) make some great
trials/MUni product. And, of course, for even more $$$ you can get a
KH. I ride a 24" Onza for MUni and I LOVE it (granted my uni exceeds
my limited ability to use it! :p )

Good luck!

In order from strongest to least strong for the least amount of money.

Nimbus ISIS Trials with KH Moment cranks=$300ish (a LOT stronger than
the DX and Qu-Ax Crossfire, strength is comparable to a Kris Holm)

Qu-Ax Crossfire 1400 ties with Torker DX=$250-$280ish

Best Choice: Nimbus ISIS Trials with KH Moment cranks.

theoretically trials wheels are stronger, just because they're smaller.
The thing is, trials on a 24" is ok, muni on a 20" is pretty [censored], they
just don't roll over stuff, and are very slow, and prone to pedal
strike.
