  4. the LX isn't designed for trials, repeated abuse will ensure it breaks,
    probably at the hub or cranks. Your low weight will make this less of a
    problem, but if you keep doing trials on it it's going to go sometime.

  5. Ok tunkie. My friend andy had a torker lx for like 8 months but he
    sucked pretty much six of those months because he never learned
    anything new. But when he taught me to ride and started riding harder
    his axle started twisting and his cranks bent a little. He had a 20"
    like you. I had a 24" and After about 3 1/2 months it was pretty much
    dead. The axle is way bent and when I ride it sif my whole body goes
    up and down ever revolution. And the cranks bent so bad that It is
    hard to stay on the pedals when hopping. And then one day I was jumping
    down a four stair sideways and when I landed the wheel bent pretty bad.
    And then the wheel go worse from there. Well I hope I helped.

    Kbye

    Oh yeah and get a DX. Even if you have enough for the kh get the DX.
    Then you can get pro on the DX and get an ever newer kh and be even
    more pro. And If you get the DX you will have more money left over to
    a muni.
