  4. I think it would help if you give us some info about what you want to do
    with the unicycle; your weight, ect.

    Personally; I would lean toward the KH since I own one, and haven't had
    any chance to ride a Nimbus.

  6. Surely there is a big difference in price.

    Are you planning on this being an investment, or are you getting into
    it, to see if you like it?

    If you are really into Trials, and plan on using the unicycle, for a lot
    of big jumps, then surely the Kris Holm would be worth spending the
    extra on.

  9. musketman- the (new) kh trials is $467. I don't know what you mean by
    trials "pro", I've never heard of that. If you're talking 5 foot drops,
    then yeah, you want the KH trials. at 200 lbs, the nimbus isn't gonna
    stand up to that kind of dropping. It's a great uni for the price
    though.

  10. dude, if you're at the level of doing five foot drops, and say that
    you're a street unicyclist, I beleive you would have gathered enough
    knowledge to make this blatantly obvious decision yourself.

  12. I agree with Owen on this, although there is the common practice among
    many iders to exaggerate their biggest drops. To a beginner a 2' drop
    feels like a 3'. ANd a 4' easily feels like 5.

    Musketman, this isn't a chat room. Try waiting some time before getting
    antsy and posting over and over again. The only way you will get replies
    withint 10 minutes of the posting of a thread is if you post an
    extremely interesting thread with a provocative title while a bunch of
    people are browzing. This thread doesn't fill out any of those
    requirements. Heck, the title doesn't even tell you what's in it.

    You should look at unicycle.com and actually read the specs on the unis,
    since if you don't know the price you clearly haven't put any energy
    into it yet. Be patient. Things that cost $400-500 are not purchases to
    rush on.

    I would go along with that, I have asked for some advice, about my
    future purchases, checked out unicycle.uk.com over and over again, and I
    am just about at a decision about whether to buy a 29" Nimbus.

    Unicycles normally last for a long time, so you have to think about it
    carefully.

    Oh, I think I will be getting the Nimbus 29" by the way.

    My wife said I don't need three unicycles, but as someone told me the
    other day, you have more than one pair of shoes, so why not have more
    than one bike ( or unicycle in this case ).
