Shouldn't be just yet. The shipment was delayed; I expect they'll be in around the middle to later half of May.

They're selling that but it doesn't have the KH rim or the right tire.

With the 47mm wide rim and 2.1" tire it's supposed to come with it will feel way different than a 1.85" tire on a regular freestyle rim.

They also say that "it's the unicycle Spencer Hochberg is riding right now". ahah

Just saw that Municycle.com now has it: here

I'm pretty close to buying it, but have a few questions:

- Can the 110mm cranks be combined with rollo disks? I always found it hard to stand on the moment cranks, but maybe that's just because I suck at flat.
Alternatively I'm considering the Nimbus Venture cranks in 100mm, any thoughts on this combination? On my freestyle I'm riding 89mm cranks, which are really too short for catching the cranks (e.g., trying flips is painful, because there is so much force on the foot).

- How robust is this unicycle? Can one do little drops or is this flat only? I'm just wandering if it's okay to occasionally jump small stairsets.

Thanks!

I don't think there will be a problem if you want to put rollo disks on them...
and It isn't a trial uni.. so don't go to big with it... but 2-4 sets aren't a problem I think... (just like a standart uni )

Hey,

It doesn't come supplied with Rollo Disks but the Moment 110's will certainly fit them. I think most riders will get also get pair of Rollos when they get this uni, if they don't have them already.

The components are just as strong as a KH20 trials uni. However, the smaller tire won't absorb as much shock, so if tricks off stair sets are something you do regularly, a 19" trials setup would be more appropriate. One reason to use a KH20 longneck frame was to allow also riders to use a trials wheelset or this flatland wheelset in the same compatible frame.

That makes sense. I just wanted to be sure that the new rim and cranks are up to some smaller jumps (down some stairs on the way to a spot...). I can't do anything big anyway.

The rollo disk compatibility is a strong motivation for me to pick the moment cranks. It's also comforting to know that there are now even shorter ISIS cranks available on the market (so the ISIS wheelset is a safe investment).

Thanks for the quick answer, and for bringing yet another innovation to unicycling.

I'm fairly sure that they already have them and are releasing them with their product launch thingy.
