Suggestions for a decent 20"?

UniWoozle · 2012-03-13, 05:42 PM

Hey guys

I'm 14 and have been riding for about a year. I used to do lots of long distance MUni but am now looking into starting to do freestyle sort of riding. I have an old Nimbuss II 24" and a no-name 20" which cost about 30 quid. I love riding the Nimbuss but the I do prefer to use the 20" for trying to do tricks and stuff.

My birthday is coming up in a few months and I am looking to ask for a 20" unicycle capable for doing freestyle. I'm looking at a price of £200 max really. Anyone have any suggestion of what unicycle would be ideal for me?

Thanks

Hi UniWoozle!

Have a look around at unicycle dot com. There you'll find many good unis (imho) for 200 - 210 "quid" (sorry, german keyboard, only $ and € here).

when i decided to buy a new uni about nine months ago, i got a nimbus trials with a 1000 pound frame that looked ugly and cost about 220 pounds. then i had my 14 birthday yesterday and i got an white impact gravity longneck frame and a white tryall for about 140 pounds, coming to a total of 360 pounds plus about 30 for shipping so about 390 pounds. a impact from udc uk is 380 and a kh is 375. your going to mostlikely feel the urge to get something better within the first couple months of buying your new 19"-20". save the money and just buy the more expensive one!!!

Does the Impact frame fit a Nimbus hub without any issues? I always thought the two parts weren't compatible.

i think everyone is high because the nimbus hub/wheel does fit with at least 5mms of clearance on either side. maybe it didnt fit the older ones but for me it slipped in like pocket butter (simpsons). just get it and do crack
