Just fixed up my uni
I've been on a uni for about a month so far but it was in ruin all last week while I was waiting for a new rim. I bought the 24'' united basic model and upgraded the petals right off the bat with some nice platforms I had from mountain biking, it was nice, but the rim bent after some hopping. I ordered up a new Sun 24'' bmx rim and found a tire locally that had a little more tread on it. Last night I finally built it all up, and I have a nice little uni/muni.
I've been doing some trail riding but nothing too bumpy, and a lot of hopping. Does anyone know what should be the next thing that may break with more serious off road riding? Well have fun!I may have some pictures later. topside |

If it has lollipop-style bearing holders, then the next thing to go will be the frame, which will crack between the two bolts that hold the bearing-holders in place: http://unixcomputer.net/new-photo/frame-broke/ I have been using the fix here for a few months now, and it seems to be holding up well. ============================================================ Gardner Buchanan <gbuchana@rogers.com> Ottawa, ON FreeBSD: Where you want to go.

Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for the bearing holders. Here is a picture I managed to take, i have a viscount seat that isn't visible. Nothing too upscale, but I like it anyway.

Definately main-cap. Future mods might include a seat upgrade. Your current one won't break, but your balls and butt will sing praise.
