2- Don't know this 200 lbs weight only hops around and only drops 1 foot at the most. 3- Again I don't know I have not had any problems hence, no need to change parts. |

Which qu-ax 20'' are you meaning, the one with the Yellow hub or the red hubbed model?

shermanator94 if you are meaning the Qu-Ax 20" Crossfire Beginners Trials Unicycle then you can put Nimbus and KH Cranks on that hub. But the stock Qu-Ax 20" Crossfire is not strong enough for heavy trials. The Qu-Ax Splined Trials Unicycle - ISIS is stronger than the trials with the red hub but very heavy. I would suggest getting a Nimbus with Moments as its lighter then the yellow hubbed trials also the nimbus is a good price and strong.

The Qu-Ax 20" Heavy Duty Trials Unicycle (yellow hub) weighs 6.45kg vs 5.7kg for the Nimbus, so alot more.

They are the same.
The quax wheelset (the rim) is a bit stronger. Youre comparing a strong to a strong uni here. Just be sure if you get the Nimbus, get it with Moment cranks.

No cranks are as good a moments, Moments are impossibly solid
 I dont know if they are good but I am pretty sure they are, someone that has them can answer better than me...

well, if you had a choice between these two unis, which would you pick?
new nimbus ISIS trials uni w/ moments - $330 + tax + shipping or used qu-ax trials ( yellow hub) - $300 + free shipping + no tax

I would go with the Nimbus because I find them cooler and they are compatible with more parts than the Qu-ax(I think). Plus 4 of my friend owns Nimbus Trials uni and they are really good. But this is just my opinion.

The yellow-hubbed Qu-ax is a very strong unicycle. Some say it is stronger than a KH (I may get into trouble for saying this though!). However, it is a lot heavier than KH or nimbus. The tyre is the same one you'll get with a KH or Nimbus.
I've put my qu-ax through 2m drops. the only breakage being seatposts, pedals and a (KH street) saddle. Since I got the gusseted seatpost, i've had no more broken posts.
