I was going to guess that. But I wanted pictures more than my guess.

hey, me too!

I emailed UDC about a warranty, and they didn't say "no", they told me
to send pics...so I did today, and am now waiting for replies.

Mine broke when I was pulling up during a hop. I almost hit myself in
the forehead with the rusty broken frame top..

These broken dx stories are making me very nervous. I have the all black
dx. I got it off e-bay. I know it's not the 06, must be 05 or maybe
even 04. I post a pic when I get a chance

Ok, after reading all of these threads about broken dx frames I decided
to have a closer look at mine. I have had it since August, so that
means 2.5 months of riding. I bought it off e-bay, probably from one
of you guys, who knows?

Anyway it was in good shape when I got it, but know I am seriously
considering replacing the frame. Check out he pictures below. At
first I thought it was just me, but know I think it is pretty obvious
that the seat post is bending slightly forward. Also I just found a
hairline crack on the seatpost weld.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anyway I can reinforce it
before it completely brakes on me?

It is hard to see the crack here, but if you look closely I think you
can see it.

Well, as you can see, it doesn't have any red stickers, but it does
have the 48 rims. I put the oddessy 2.2 tire on. It is much better
than the original 2.125 K-Rad

I'd say get a new frame now, before it breaks. So when it does you'll
have an immediate replacement. I don't think that frame has much time
left...

I'm not sure if old dxes have 40mm bearings, but if they do a nimbus 2
frame is perfect. Inexpensive and strong.

Yes, the Nimbus II frame will fit, and is cheap and strong. Its what I
use.

My 06 had that same crack, in the same place, and I was able to ride it
for about another 2 months before it broke off cause I landed inbetween
two planks of wwod and the sideways forced ripped the frame in half.

hahaha.

i DID hit myself in the face with my seat when i pulled up and my
seatpost broke cause of a crack that was there before or something..

but to be on topic, that sucks.
do you have anything else to ride while you wait for a new frame?
not being able to ride sucks.

I noticed they didn't have the flat crown. I really would like a flat
crown, I just learned to ride onefooted and would like to learn a few
other stand on the frame tricks,

Does the Nimbus II come with a flat crown?

The Nimbus II has a flat crown but isn't in stock/listed on UDC
America.

The Nimbus X Longneck is also really strong, in stock, and only $3 more
than the Nimbus II. It -is- designed for freestyle skills, but that
won't make it bad for anything else - You'll just have a killer street
uni!

I have a Nimbus II and it's great + powdercoated blue. I'd like a
longneck...they're nice...

hope this helps...🙄😄

So is the Nimbus II Longneck the same as the regular Nimbus II?
Actually I would like to get the 'wide version'
(http://tinyurl.com/yb6y67) so I can put a beefy tire on it without it
rubbing on the frame but I can only find it at unicycle.uk
