  1. Are the holes in the rim such a good idea? I know they're common in
    trials bikes, but don't unicyclists put more/different stress on their
    rims? I asked a bike trials guy if it weakened it any and he said
    yeah, but as long as you have good "technique" it won't be a problem.
    I don't know, kinda scares me.

    Off topic: whats the reason for Q-factor anyway?

    From sheldonbrown.com

    (only disadvantages of Q-factor)

    That doesn't seem to answer forrestunifreak's question. The reason for
    Q-factor is that the cranks have to run outside the wheel. Contrary to
    Sheldon Brown's story, many unicyclists like it if their steed has
    some Q-factor, even more than strictly needed for above reason. Higher
    Q is often accomplished by angling the cranks out (and is sometimes
    regarded as being the same - but it's not). This can be for improved
    stability in trials and MUni, or for not bashing your ankles on the
    cranks. However, for high cadence unicycling, as in racing, a low
    Q-factor is generally preferred.
