    Question: Which to buy?

    - Buy the Nimbus with moments now.
    - Save for a K1
    - Save for a KH
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently I have a Torker DX Trials, and I'm looking to upgrade. I have
    enough for the Nimbus Trials with moments, but is that enough of an
    upgrade to be worth the money? Should I save longer and buy a K1 or
    KH? This new unicycle will mostly be for street and flat, because I
    don't mind my DX as far as trials goes.

  2. If you mean nimbus with ISIS cranks or the KH moment craks?
    The thing with the splined nimbus is that although they are splined,
    the quality isn't really that good. The cranks bend quite easily.
    So I'd say save for a KH!

  3. Either save for a KH or put KH frame and cranks on the nimbus wheel :p

  4. i really love how the K1's look but ive never tried one so i wouldn't
    know how good it is. KH's are great but so are nimbus. 2 one my friends
    are getting nimbus trials. i love the feel of the nimbus seat. because
    i have a KH and my friends will get nimbus trials my next uni will be
    either a K1 or a coker.K1's look awesome

    I was talking about upgrading the Nimbus Trials and giving it the
    moment cranks.

    With the crank upgrade, the Nimbus will be more or less equally strong
    as the KH and Koxx, so you should get it and save money for other
    upgrades in the future (such as cromo post and carbon fibre seatbase).

  7. Definitely buy the Nimbus with Moments now. Then use the money saved to
    by a coker or something later.

  8. I am a major Nimbus fan but in your case I would definitely wait and
    save up and buy a KH. It comes with a better seat, a lighter and just
    as strong frame(and better looking if you care).

    much of a differance just that its abit lighter, for the extra money i
    wouldnt say its worth saving for the KH.

  10. I presume you want something a pound or so lighter then your DX. So if
    you buy a Nimbus, I bet you will soon want something a pound or so
    lighter then the Nimbus. Otherwise, what's wrong with the Torker ?
