    Yet again, before the eBay goers get a chance to get this,
    I’m putting my United Trials up for sale here. Below is a
    picture. It has virtually new cranks (and straight) but the
    seat has a small tear near the front. I have a picture of
    the tear if you are interested. The tire has some wear on it
    but still has hours of fun left in it. I’m asking $175 and
    I’ll pay the shipping within the contiguous US. Let me know
    if you are interested by e-mailing me at:
    [email hidden] I'll be happy to answer any
    questions.

    Hey everybody,

    Call in the hounds on this one. In looking to see what the
    name brand was on the rim, I noticed a small crack on the
    rim. Though it might workout for somebody - for a while -
    but I won't sell it like this. Sorry for the tempation. The
    sale has been suspended.

    If its the rim in the pix it appears to be a Monty Rim. I'm
    like 90% sure on that one.

    A crack sounds unusual, any pix?

    I don't have a pic of the crack and I'm just dashing out
    to a meeeting. Believe me, it is cracked - Monty rim or
    not. It has little fishers, starring out at one of the
    spoke nipples. When I noticed this I just hung it up and
    walked away.

    I haven't decided what to do with the thing. I certainly
    don't "need" it as I have a couple of other trials unis.

    Yeah, sounds like its what happend to my rim. Monty Rims
    are a little odd they are drilled out for larger nipples
    than most rims 10gauge or something vs 12 gauge. This can
    cause nipples to pull through the rim a bit and destroy
    your wheel.

    I could be wrong though I'm no master wheel builder I've
    only built 2 wheels and needed help on both to get the dish
    out. What I did on my last build was to put washers in to
    stop that from happening, so far so good...

    I think I'm going to get the Arrow or Alex rim next time
    arround though, Monty is a trials staple but spokes pulling
    though the rim is unexepatble to me.

    Monty rims suck!

    They are poorly made, and too thin, and like mike said, have
    the wrong size nipple holes.

    I had a monty rim, and it became square, and cracked on
    about about 8 eyelet holes, but since it was built with
    spoke washers, they didn't pull through. Also, the fit with
    the tire is way too loose. My tire would fall off when i'd
    hop, and it wrecked one tire.

    Tmornstar... if you used spoke washers when building it,
    don't hesitate to sell it (considering you're not going to
    be using it?) just reduce the price to that of which it
    would cost the buyer to buy a new Alex rim, and they can be
    the one who decides what to do with it.

    Anyways, if you ever have the option when buying a new
    unicycle, don't get a monty rim.

    Do I see MUC trials stuff in the background painted blue?
    It's about time you got away from the dull black and used
    your official club colors! Go MUCsters!

    Hey Bill,

    Yes! And it is all because of you. Great suggestion. As our
    MUC gear needs new paint I'm slowly shifting from black to
    blue. You were right, it does add so much more to our set-
    up. The color is a lttle lighter than I had at first
    envisioned but I'm going to run through this gallon of paint
    before I shift, again, to a tad darker shade of MUC blue.
