Im a fairly new unicyclist after an entry level trials uni. My biggest criteria is affordability, so Im interested to know what the minimum is for useability.
Obviously if I go too cheap I might end up with a uni I break constantly, which costs more in the long run. Im a light person (60kg) so I dont need super strong, but still. Any recomendations would be great 🙂
I recently bought a Torker LX and then realized i wanted to do trials and it isn't strong enough. I thought about the Nimbus trials for a while but decided this is something i'm going to stick with and i'm planning on getting a Kris Holm or a Summit. Both have a splined hub which from what i hear is much stronger than a tapered/non-cottered hub, which the Nimbus has.
Ive looked at the Nimbus before, looks like a good deal all round. My biggest concern is the hub. Just how important is haveing the non-splined hub going to be? also will the cranks stand up to the abuse they might get? Considering Im not too heavy and Im farily new, I think it would probably do the job, but I wouldnt really know...
