I dont know if it is good or not but you could search for it the
unicycle products review forum.

it's prolly a good beginner's MUni....it's not particularly fabulous,
but, it'll get the job done as long as you don't plan on riding it tooo
hard, like any big drops or trials or anything.

If you are on a tight budget then that MUni will get you going. If you
heavily abuse it you'll most likely bend/break the cranks or shear off
the axle. If you do break anything then you can replace the bit that
broke with better a quality bit if and when it happens.

Dude, why not just go with a 'Nimbus'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=745)? Its just a little
more and you get a much better seat and a 24x3 tire.

From the picture it looks like it even comes with a Alex DX 32 rim. Can
anyone back me up on that? That would kick cause thats a good rim.

Later on down the road you can even upgrade the hub/crankset to beef it
up and then youve got a really nice ride. You wouldnt have that option
(at least not as easily) with the United that you linked to.

You could also consider a 24inch torker DX if you can find one, but id
still lean toward the nimbus.

I think you would be better off with a Torker LX than with that United.
The Viscount seat is not good at all for MUni. You could get a Torker
LX and upgrade the tire for less than the cost of that United.

Nimbus/Yuni/Qu-ax/Onza area for a MUni that will be more versatile in
the long run, if money is not so much of an issue. *

The LX is not a good choice for a Muni. It's not designed for that type
of riding. If you can afford it, get either the Nimbus 24X3 Muni, the
Torker DX or wait a little while longer until you can afford one of
those.

It is an Alex DX 32 rim.

I agree that the LX isn't a great MUni, but it's at least as good as
that United, for $40 less. I have a friend who's now ridden all of the
Slickrock Trail, twice, on his Torker LX, so it's not like the thing
will just fall apart.

I also agree that if you're really serious about MUni, you should get
something with a splined hub and at least a 2.6" tire (which would also
rule out the Torker DX).

Most unicycles have two cranks.
