[dunawan]

Torker DX
150 USD

[gordito8me]

Torker DX
150 USD

that's 250 btw.

The unicycles you mentioned were all freestyle unicycles. For jumping, stairs and dirt you probably want a muni or a trials unicycle. The 20'' or 24'' torker dx is a great option for250$

[brendan]

[DrumCorpsFan]

[bman uni]

thanks gordito8me i was about to say the same thing :D

[bman uni]

OK IVE decided that im gonna go with the nimbus II becasue it is under $200 and if you think i should get a better one that is under $200 let me know NOW!!!!!

[dunawan]

that's 250 btw.

Doh! **smacks forehead**
doyyyy
i knew that...just for some reason i wrote 150. hm

[Chris.James]

you will be much happier if you just spring for the extra money for the dx. look on ebay, you can find them for around 225. That uni is not build for hops and drops, it is made for freestyle. Apparently it is a nice freestyle uni, but it is not made for what you want to do. Its non splined hub and alloy rim will not stand up to what you want to do.

lol no worries it's an easy mistake to make.

I think that's a fine option. If you find yourself in need of a stronger hub/crankset then get the kh moments or the koxx-one set depending on where you live and if you like q-factor or not.

DONT GET THE NIMBUS 2!!!!!!



get a trials uni. You obviously want to do trials type riding, so get a trials uni.



like, Torker DX, nimbus hoppley, onza, kh 20



dont get a freetyle uni.

[mornish]

I was under the impression that it was the freestyle uni with the blue/ red seat and rim.

lemme check.

hahahahah that sounds like a comment id make! i like you already. but yea as for the unicycles dont get a torker dx i have one and i dont like it, its heavy and it came in black(i hate that color hahahahahaha). id like to try some sort of nimbus. just buy something thats looks cool, and will probably break soon so you can buy new stuff sooner!

[bman uni]

too late i put in my order for the nimbus 2 but no worries i wont be doing big things for a while and who knows i might learn some freestyle this year:D

Cause your getting a good freestyle uni, keep all your hopping that you do on it technical.

Nothing big, so you dont break it, but keep the objects low to the ground, and hard to do.

This way, you improve your trials skills and stuff, while keeping the uni in good condition for freestyle.

[DrumCorpsFan]

Im just a rude person and I dont like people. But I like my DX. I dont notice the weight because ive never ridden any other trials uni, but its damn strong. Its a really good uni for the price.

Well if you don't like it, you could always sell it on E-Bay or the trading post on this forum :p and if you get enough $$$. You could get a Torker DX like what i have. :D :D :D But my friend has a Nimbus X and he likes it.

[brendan]

the Nimus II is freestyle, the nimbus trials is trials :P

btw dont do any trials with that uni like stairs on rolling and all, cause u'll wreck it if u do.

DX20" is great for trials, so is hoppley/KH/Koxx1 devil/qu-ax trials/onza trials

dont be stupid and wreck a good freestyle uni doing trials on it!

[bman uni]

no worries i wont wreck it i think next im either gonna save for a dx or qu-ax the qu-ax looks prooty sweet but i heard it was kinda heavy so idk yet i guess i have alot of time now to decide.

[uniredneck]

Hey, if you want a little help with your hopping, look at getting this tire Maxxis MaxxDaddy 20" x 2.25" (http://www.maxxis.com/products/bicycle/product_detail.asp?id=93). Being a higher volume tire, it will help your hop height and protect the wheel better.

[feel the light]

Are you going to weigh more then 90 lbs. within the next 2 years? If not, perhaps consider this torker ax-20. It may be more fun for you then a heavier trials bike of the same size cause it has an aluminum frame. 10 lbs. beats a 12 lb. KH that costs 500$ ! And it's way cheap ! For stair hops and playing around, you do not want a heavy unicycle if you are a light person.
Please disregard this advise if you are fat.

How big for a 150 pounder? I was thinking two stairs or less.

Or better yet, an Onza Sticky Fingers from UDC UK (http://unicycle.co.uk/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=572). Shipping to the US would cost more but it's 2/3 the price, so it'd end up about the same as a CC.

The differences between the Nimbus II and Nimbus trials are slightly stronger trials rim, slightly stronger hub, and trials tire. Basically just the same frame.

[Jerrick]

Hmm, I weigh about 180 pounds, and I have taken the LX and Sun classicas up to 2 feet drops all the time and they have been fine. No bending or getting tweaked.
