    2. what is the best overall size UW?
    3. does UWing help leg strength?

    parents banned my uni due to low school marks so if there are any nerds
    out there with a kind heart, i have a psychology assignment that is a
    few weeks over due, it is on intelligence.

    1) I can't do seat drag propperly yet, but I'm sure UWing will help.

    2) Some say that the bigger the wheel the better. I'm most comfortable
    on my 24".

    3) I get tired in all sorts of muscles I don't normally use. It is
    definately a good workout.

  3. cool, I think I might get one.

    what kind do you have?

    also, do tires make a big difference in riding?

  8. The nimbus UW looks good. The tire does make a difference, but the one
    they put on it in the picture looks good. If the tire is too narrow and
    hard the UW gets too twitchy for my liking, and if it's too knobby it
    grips the legs too much.
    Good grip on the pedals is also important. The pedals in the picture
    looks ok in that respect too.
