bedford light duty

[trials_uni]

i just ordered one of these...anyone got a review or some bad/good news about it?

[irvinegr]

dude they are sweet... there is very little tire to frame clearence tho...

[trials_uni]

im not to worried about clearnce of the frame...im canging the frame to one i currently have and using the flat crown frame on mu freestyle. the bedford will be strictly for trials and maybe a little street(crankflips,grinds) use.

[Radical Reed]

hey just wondering if you got it yet?

[trials_uni]

nope but darren just sent me an e-mail...it should be here teysday or wednesday:)

[irvinegr]

did he e-mail you at around 9 pm on saturday night???

[trials_uni]

nope it was this morning...whay do you ask?

[irvinegr]

i donno cuz i got a e-mail from him at that time... and if i was right u would think i was SUPER smart... but i was wrong...

[trials_uni]

oh well it should be here tommorow...im stoked...i can finally start doin real trials like stuff.

[trials_uni]

yay its here..it s a beauty

[Michea]

I ordered one on Sunday! I'm rocking in my chair for it to get here. I kept ripping pedals loose in alluminum cranks, and hopefully this will be enough of an upgrade for a while without the price of splines. I'll review it after a while when it gets here.

[trials_uni]

you definately wont regret buying iti love mine already and ive not even riden it yet...i can wait to though.

[Michea]

I got it the other day, and definitely recommend it for those starting out/going towards trials riding, and for those with a budget looking for durability in a muni/trials/freestyle cycle. If you are going to drop more than a few feet, do indeed upgrade the hub and cranks to something splined, because I've already bent my cranks with a lower than chest-high drop, and I weigh 136lbs. This is an excellent cycle, however, because you have that upgrade option (it's made with all the same parts as the Bedford Hardcore, minus the splines,) and if this will hold you over, go for it. I'm happy with mine.

The Luna is great, too. Strong sidewalls and good tread. I haven't even used the cheap seat it came with, I am just using my old Kris Holm seat (I'd like a gel,) and I took the quick release post clamp off of my broken United to replace the three allen jack it came with. That works well.

[Michea]

Oh, and the Wellgo's are the best. Not as shinsmashy- as BMX metals, and grippier and more durable than regular plastic cheapo's.

[irvinegr]

whats on the bedford hardcore??

[trials_uni]

i dont have bedford hardcore...but the hard core is just the bedford trials but it has profiles...

[dye3]

Hey is that the 200$ one? like the trials one?
I'v been wanting that one!But i cant find any pics:mad:

If you wouldn't mind, could you take a pic of it and the frame:)
I would truly appreciate that!:D

Thanks alot!

[trials_uni]

yeah i got some pics...it is the 200 dollar one that i have but i cahnged the seat which is an additional 50 bucks but its worth it

ok there it is...enjoy!

[dye3]

sick!
Is the hub on it tappered?
And is that tape on the saddle:confused: :confused: :confused: lol
Why is the stock saddle on it poop?

[dye3]

Oh and i forgot to mention if you had any front view of the unicycle so I could take a look of the crown thats on it:D Thanks again!

[trials_uni]

ill go get a pic of the frame...i just painted it white

[trials_uni]

here ya go

[dye3]

ohh thats hot:D
I'v read that the frame clearance is really close to the tire.
Also is it a tappered hub?

[trials_uni]

yes the 200dollar one is a tappered hub and the fram clearance is acctually quite good...theresa bout 3/4 of an inch from the top of the tire to teh frame and about a half inch on each side. its a great uni.

[dye3]

k sick.
thanks alot for the pics again!

[trials_uni]

no problem...are you in canada? if so where are you from...im lookin for a riding buddy.

[dye3]

Yea im in Ottawa.A little far but knowing me, id be up to the challenge of meeting up:p

You guys think its worth paying the extra 50$ for a KH saddle?
Is the stock saddle really THAT bad?

[trials_uni]

yes...definately get the kh upgrade. the bedford saddle is good for just riding but its terrible for trials and it has no handle or anything. also there is a group of riders in ottowa that meet almost every weekend you should search the forums for that thread and you can ride with a whole bunch of people.

[dye3]

:eek: The bedford saddle don't even come with a saddle!?!
Ok KH it is.
And i'v already checked out the unicycle thing its pretty sick.
Once i get my uni im in every weekend!

[litldude2]

:eek: The bedford saddle don't even come with a saddle!?!
Huh?

[dye3]

Huh?

Oups:o
I ment the bedford saddles dont come with a handle.
Sry bout that

[trials_uni]

no but there alright for freestyle sorta...

[nateman8]

how much does it weigh?

[Borgschulze]

how much does it weigh?
It's the same as a Norco M-Uni, so I'm going to say about 2 pounds less than a DX, so around 14 pounds roughly.

[trials_uni]

Actually it weights closer to 12lbs...It hasnt got splined cranks to alot of the weight is taken off there...Its still a beast though.

I need a proper scale... it's throwing off my guesses hugely.

[fred_oakley]

How much does the frame alone weigh?

[trials_uni]

not sure but i can find out if you want.

[fred_oakley]
