Hey im getting this unicycle for Christmas, It was rated the best
unicycle of the year in some magazine my dad read lol.

Is there anything i need to watch out for, does it break easily, drops
it can take ect???

it can take whatever you dish out... i don't think anyone has broken a
2007 DX frame yet... its so strong!

uhh
there are better unicycles
the KH kills the DX in every way

DX does have a Q-factor, but I dont want to get into all the info about
Q-factor and whatnot.

But because the cranks have a smaller Q-factor, it makes pedaling a lot
more smoother. At least I think so, after riding on profiles and other
cranks with a higher Q-factor, I always enjoy going back to the smooth
feel of the DX.

I wouldn't compare the DX to the KH strength wise anymore. Maybe to the
older models of the KH, that would be true, but I think the ISIS cranks
and hub from KH are now stronger than the DX.

Chances may vary.

Some people have broken the frame in just a few months like I did.
Others have ridden theres for a year or more and they are still going
fine.

You can replace it with a nimbus frame, because the DX has 40mm
bearings, and the Nimbus frames have 40mm bearing holders. You could
also get a frame with 42mm bearing holders, and shim the DX bearing to
fit into them.

The Nimbus frames they have now are 25-30 dollars.

When I got my Nimbus II frame is around 50 dollars.

you may want a frame without the rounded frame so that you can do
tricks with the feet on the frame.

The Kh 20 is lighter than the DX. Not sure about which is stronger
though. Also I'm pretty sure that the DX has nubs on the cranks and I
know the kh doesn't. The nubs aren't too much of a problem and my
friend says you get used them and don't hit them much. Also the
q-factor (I think that is what it is called) is where the cranks are
angled out (or in) on the unicycle. On the DX I think the cranks are
pretty much straight but on the kh the cranks are angled out so you
don't rub your legs on the seat as much. Well I hope I helped.

freaking [censored]... Q factor is NOT the cranks
its the distance from pedal to pedal at an angle
the hubs on the 2 could be 10 mm skinnier or fatter than each other
what
Q factor is bad to have more of! its harder to pedal if it is greater
if you don't want to rub your legs as much ride slightly bow-legged
