trial unicycles

[sparrowhawk]

ok, is there a cheapish (possibly splined) trials uni annywhere cuz i need a uni that will last and that wont be too expecive, i live in the uk and it would be best if the shop (which has the uni) is in the uk because of p&p:D

thanks for any help:D

www.unicycle.co.uk, is your best bet since they are from the U.K. your only other option pretty much at getting the cheapest trials uni is ebay, but make sure you are ordering from the U.K. there.

just to give you a quick look at prices, the nimbus non splined trials is 135 pounds and the hoppley trials (which I think is the best deal I have ever seen) is 175.

Hope that helps.

HMMM what do the hoppley'z look like there isint a pic + i couldnt find it on the web :confused: :D

[muzzle]

its a (blue) nimbus II frame http://www.unicycle.co.uk/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=142
with a kh '04 hub http://www.unicycle.co.uk/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=587

so, put them together, throw a saddle, some pedals, a seatpost and a tire on, and then you have a unicycle

Qu-ax splined is pretty shweet..

its wicked strong, and extremely smooth.

[sparrowhawk]

cool....il probably get that when i get some more cash (just a bit more :) )....you may think this is a bit wired buuut, does it look good :o :D

[Obscured1234]

it looks extremely sexxi.

the frame is jet black, and the seat and hub are yellow. they go quite good together. this is all complmented by the extremely beefy maxxis tire.

fucking great uni

go look on ebay. before i changed my mind into making a custom one i was going to buy a torker dx off of there for $214 (in us dollors) plus the shipping

[lucky_8]

they are brand new to

[Jerrick]

I got my Torker DX from ebay, the whole total with shipping turned out to be 248 dollars =p

[sparrowhawk]

The only trial unicycle on ebay is a new 'monty trials' unicycle for £120 ('buy it now', 3 left) and on unicycle.com it is £130 but im not sure if it's good or not:confused: :)

[sparrowhawk]

Oh yea, the P&P is £15-1st class :)

[Uni_hoop]

its good but not splined, so no big drops.

Be warned! add cost of shipping to UK, then the charge that the carrier charges on docking in uk £20.... here is how it goes:

(Cost of item + import Duty 18% on the cost of item + cost of shipping + docking fee) x 1.175 [VAT]

Although your unicycle may be imported and be missed by customs, if you are caught you will be paying a LOT more than you thought.

Blunt answer... No. Well ok, the tyre is good, that is it in my opinion... If you only have £120 buy the Quax cross. The Nimbus Trials is vastly better than the the QuAx and it is only £15 more.

HMM im still a bit confused as to which uni to get......because the hoppley is perfect BUT it weighs like 10kg....is it possible to do freestyle stuff with it being that heavy (sorry if i sound like a complete idot at the moment but im just getting to know all this unicycle stuff :o )

[unisteve]

You can do whatever you want with any unicycle you want. You could probably do freestyle on a coker if you wanted to and were good.

Here's how it works: get the lightest you can afford. If the lightest you can afford is 10kg, and you're willing to accept that, then you WILL make it work for what you want to use it for.

Getting a heavy unicycle and getting good with it just means you're better than the guys at the same skill level cheating with light ones. :)

The weight quoted in the price list is a volumised shipping weight which includes the box etc.

I have put the weight up for you. It is 6.32kg. This makes it a lot lighter than the Monty which is not even splined!
