  1. my unicycle is goin to break any day now....

    and i was thinkin about getting the torker DX...

    is this a good cycle to get?

    ive heard its a little heavy, and im not even that good at jumpin on
    the light uni i have now

    it looks strong, which is good. im getting into street riding

    are the cranks a good size for a street rider?

    😄

  3. There used to be an issue with the frames breaking, but that has been
    resolved. Everything on it is really beefy, you would have a lot of
    trouble breaking it. I don't think the weight is a very big issue, I
    don't notice much of a difference when I go from my DX to a KH. And
    the cranks are the -perfect- length for street riding. This unicycle
    is well worth the money.

  4. well, the one on ebay is a 2006.

    does that mean it still has an issue with the frame?
    or was that a while ago...

  5. if you get the 06 dx the frame will break. no matter what you do or
    dont do it will break sooner or later.

  6. its only 25 bucks to replace it with a nimbus frame so i wouldnt be
    worried, ive taken mine off huge jumps, and it is fine, i just need to
    make it lower to try crankflips on it. Great uni.

    Heavy though. You get used to it.
    You jump just as high as other though(i think).😄

  7. Well, it depends of your budget, if you really really want a Torker DX,
    go for it, but I have have a lot of money to put in, I recommend KH

  8. get it, even if you break the frame, it is warranteed for life, so
    nothing to worry about.

    just-so-you know, i have broken EVERYTHING (cept the cranks) on it. I
    even messed up the hub, which only myself and cody have ever done as
    far as I know.

    but seriously, i treat my uni like [censored], and i ride the thing all the
    time, and I do big stuff (i.e. 11 sets and drops up to 10'😉 the seat,
    seatpost, and crankset are about as strong as anything stock gets. the
    06 frame is breakable, but I would say 1/20-30 have broken ... that
    said, i could break any of them, but my 07 frame is unbroken (so far,
    it may be breaking now, but im not sure.)

    If it's a new unicycle it probably comes with the manufacturer's
    warranty implied. Maybe not if it's being sold by someone who isn't
    officially a bicycle dealer. I guess you'd have to ask.

    For small money you get strong and heavy.
    For more money you get strong and lighter.
    For lots of money you get strong and real light, if it's out there.

  13. what is your learner uni that you have now? I went from an LX to a DX
    and the DX seemed really heavy at first. But I got used to it and I'm
    extremely happy with it. But I use it for MUni.

  14. It is damn good...I have it right now and I haven't have any problems so
    far...the only problem I am running into is my pedals are starting to
    break because of Grinding but I think you will run into that eventually
    no matter what pedals you have...and the seat is starting to fall apart
    so yeah.....but I have had mine for about 5-6 months now and it hasn't
    given me a problem yet.....definitely go for it...and about the whole
    weight thing you'll get used to it....you will gain muscle over time.

  15. Frame is heacy so replace it with a nimbus or somethin like that, but
    its a strong uni man, trust me, I know what breaks!!! Good crank length
    for street, but a lil painful with the nubs on the sides of the cranks.
    Heavy yes, but thats because they went for strength and cost, you dont
    want to sell your first born and you dont want to break all yo unis,
    this is a good uni...

  17. thats what I learned on (cyclepro)
    LX's are much better, CX has a better wheelset

    and the DX is good.

  19. It isnt as bad as pople are making it sound.

    it may brake on you, it may not. Mine broke, but there are also people
    who ride it really hard and havent broke the frame.

    If you get the 06, or 07, your gonna be getting a very strong, durable
    unicycle.
