I know theres lots but nothing asking this.

I’v been wanting to buy a Torker DX 20" but are they really THAT heavy?
And why do ppl say: Torker 20"?!?

Is it like theres somthing wrong with the 20" DX?

               AND

Howmuch did some of you already pay for US > Canada border fees?

Thanks alot

Alex

They say 20" to distinguish it from the 24" :slight_smile: As far as the weight, no, its not as if it is 10 pounds more than any other trials uni, it is a bit heavier but really nothing to fret about.

3

well ofcous is distinguished there a 4" tire difference but as for that, why is the 24" so great! and the 20" just the averag heavy trials.

4

because its not really that bad if you have a heavy muni, ie 24", but trials you need a light uni… but it really isnt that bad… the extra pound or so really doesnt effect hooping all that much… i have a 20" and its awesome

There is nothing wrong with a 20". People just refer to one or the other at a time, some people have said they are both heavy.

No they are not THATheavy. Unless you are a weight weanie trying to make your uni perfect…

I havea 20" dx 2006 model. If i remember correctly it wieghts 1.6 pounds more than a qu-ax. (my friend has a qu-ax). The Dx is a great uni and the weight difference doestn really matter

7

I think it is about 14-15 pounds of uni. It really doesnt make a difference, just ride it for 5mins and youll be used to it.

cool

is 318$ CDN good for a DX 20"?

Its the best price your gonna get in Canada for a splined trials uni if thats what you want to hear.

Yea also, its the bottom of the “top” line if you get what im saying but is this bottom line stuff a peice of crap?

Will it go and stip on me the first year i have it?

11

Ive had mine for about 4ish months, its been holding up great, Ive broke a peice of my pedal off, cause the pedals on them arnt too great, but cheaply replacable, and I havent even needed to replace mine yet, cause they are still good, and Ive had a few loose spokes, but thats only from doing 5-foot+ drops, and re-tightening them fixes that little problem.

Look in my gallery to see a few pictures of me riding my DX =p

haha uni fight…

i gotta try that one day with thos little kid’s foam baseball bats

13

Been there done that. Its great fun!

14

aww mann…:frowning:

I though i just made the worlds coolest thing!

I well…theres always…trampolin unicycling:)

15

i trampoline unicycle all the time… but its tso much easier if you know how to suicide mount.

anyway…
my torker dx died about 3 weeks ago… i think i was just unluckey… and got a defected frame. i broke my pedal OFF and im gonna have to buy a new set. but i guess the unicycle isnt meant for the HARDCORE stuff i ride(sarcasm)

but i think its a great uni. in my opinion the weight helps. it makes you stronger. the uni isnt gonna last forever but once it dies your gonna be a great hopper on an heavy uni. once you get your new(hopefully lighter uni) youll be a beast.

hope that helps

Riley-get the dx

16

DARN!!

mabey… :astonished: unicycle cliff jumping

oh and uhhh…I am getting the DX

Thanks alot for all your posts and opinions guys

Hey dye3, I just recently got the Torker DX 20" trials uni and the thing itself has held up well, although my seat did break within the first month, but it was a manufacturing defect (something you have to watch out for because it is nearly impossible to get ahold of Torker or SBS, wherever you’re buying it from). If you’re planning on coming out to the ottawa ride this Saturday, I’d be happy to let you try mine, and see if you like it. Like people say, its a heavy uni, but its really strong and pretty good quality other than the occasional build hiccup. In any case, hope to see you out riding on Saturday.

I’ve bought 2 of the DXs. A 2004 and a 2006. You can’t get a splined crank uni for less. As stated previously in this thread the pedals are pretty cheap but the rest of the uni is of very good quality. I’ve seen a few threads talking about the seat post tube snapping off on them so this may be a weak point but I’ve had no troubles with mine.

I wanna get the older one to do freestyle with, then I could do some good drops with it too when im out practicing freestyle on it.

Can’t wait for it.
See ya saturday,
