Final unicycle choice!
I know I am obsessing on this, but I still am baffled on which uni to get! I want EVERYONES opinion please! Also, don't just say which one, back it up with some facts. If you guys help me out here, then I might actually get rid of my crappy CX! Ok, all I want is a NICE freestyle uni for under $200. I want one that I can keep for the rest of my life for FREESTYLE (not MUni or Trials). I don't want you guys to pick out a crappy one and say it is ok because I'm young and light or something, I really want something I can use forever and will never have to upgrade (again, I mean for freestyle. I know a freestyle uni can't do MUni and Trials). Thanks a ton!!!

O.K. Tyler,
I'm no expert, but by comparing the options, I think I'd go with the Torker Dx ( due to the splined hub) or the Nimbus X (due to the Hookworm tire, alloy cranks and standard size seatpost and Kris Holm style saddle) I hope this helps narrow things down a bit.

Yeah, I would definately go with the Torker DX also, after hearing pretty good things about it. Its got a pretty sweet saddle also. I'd say for the price ($140-$150) you can't get a better unicycle. Since you were planning on spending $200, you can upgrade it. Check ebay. And try to get an '05.

I'm leaning towards the Nimbus X. What is your opinion on that?

There you go, I looked on ebay for you. Unicycle.com way over priced the DX, its $150.00 on ebay +shipping. Your welcome -Lee |

I don't know much about freestyle but I don't see the need for a splined setup. The nimbus's would likely be lighter and I think look better. Plus they are more designed specifically for freestyle. Hopefully a real freestyle person can help you out.
David Edit: Plus you might not like the big butt of the KH seat, in which case you'd want a Miyata/Torker LX. Maybe UDC could change that for you if you asked. Be sure its 20 inch.
