I havn't ridden it but I've seen it at FLUCK, it's quite a nice frame, looks a bit like the black domina and KH frame in shape. However it's a steel frame so it's like twice as heavy. If you're doing much standup tricks I guess its a good frame to have, I'm not into tech street or flatland so I don't know if it would be good. It's like 20 euro's though so pretty cheap

Looks pretty bad for crown tricks. The kh is pretty terrible for crown tricks, this looks only a little better. Huge clearance, round front to back crown so sucky for your foot.

it still looks sick looking though, but yeah if its smooth like that it doesnt help either.

The frame isn't knurled like the KH frame but comes with griptape, not visible on the picture.

is he talking about the cheap 207 buck qu-ax? You'd be a lot better getting the DX, its a step up for a little more.

its really not a step up, know things before you brandish them over the internet, the only thing you got right there was that its more!

and the guy at unicycle.com said to get the Quax because he said its better than the DX and he said the DX has problems.

lol
too much clearance, i think they should make like 1/8" clearance for the monty tire on all of the frames, maybe even that much for a creepy crawler... clearance is a bad thing, we want"not rubbingness"

The knurled crown on the kh does absolutely nothing at all.

it raises the manufacturing costs which is passed on to we the consumers.

I wouldnt recamend getting the qu-ax, we had a thread discussion on this, and they said it was only made for 4-6 foot drops, where the DX has taken much more. The DX in 06 had a problem where the frame would always break the 07 version I only know of one ever braking it, and it was skrobo, who takes stuff off huge sets (13 sets ect...) always rolling hopping. I have an 06 DX or 07, idk which, but mine has not broken, and is not near it, I've had it for 7 months, and do huge drops on it, and many street tricks.

Random comment:
(ordered it on January an 06, I dont know which they sent me, some other ppl got 07's when they ordered 06's)

What are you even talking about? This thread is about a frame. It had nothing at all to do with the unicycle you linked to.

Yeah I looked at that thread and its to a different uni, we are talking about the frame here. That thread you linked to was about the Qu-Ax cross whose hub is not as strong as the Dx and thus cant obviouslt take as big a drop as the DX.

Yeah, this is about the new qu-ax STREET frame, not the qu-ax CROSS unicycle discussed in the thread you linked to.

Is it heavier than the standard frame that comes on the Qu-ax splined trials?

skrobo

Qu-ax owns Torker so much.
I've ridden both. I'll never ride another Torker again in my life if I can help it.
Also I think that Torkers are made in China which I don't dig.

Also, Qu-ax holds up to drops better the Torker.

I won't say that Torker's are crap or anything. I own a 24" DX. But I also own a 20" Qu-ax trials. I've ridden a number of 20" DX's as well. The Qu-ax just feels better.

are you insane? the qu_ax has one of the strongest hub cranksets ( if not the strongest), a fairly strong rim, a very strong frame, and the seats are good.

they are great.

Does this frame fit on a koxx wheelset?

kerosian

yeah some pics would rock. But not sure about the 1kg frame still. I'd take me a while to be convinced.
