Depends… If you hammer on one it will fit a creepy crawler.
My friends has one laying around, so I’m gonna try cause I’m tired of my frame cutting me.
Thanks for the comment.
I’m pretty sure that was a joke, but whatever, a sledgehammer and duct tape can fix pretty much anything:)
heh, sorry for trailing off topic…
I wasn’t kidding; an LX frame will fit a trials tire under the right conditions (and with a hammer). Here’s a picture of my unicycle from several months ago… The tire is on an Alex dx32 rim and is fairly worn, and the frame had the legs bent outwards (to fit the hub) and a dent put in the bottom of the crown.
I got it to fit over wheelset the only thing is that I made it to wide.
Any suggestions on how to make it smaller?
Stick the ends of your legs in a vice. Take it slow, moving the legs in and out will weaken them (ie tighten 1.5 cranks, loosen 2.5 cranks, check, tighten 3.0 cranks, etc.).
The seats on the LX and AX are identical.
The LX frame is steel w/ a flat crown (better for tricks). The AX frame is aluminum, so a bit lighter and a rounded crown frame. The wheelset is the same on both.
Also the LX has more room for a wider knobby than the AX.
I’d get the LX.
for 75-80 dollars, I have a toker LX 24" in great condition if you’re interested.
on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being awesome), what would you rate the LX on freestyle?
3…if that.
I have an LX 24", which is my first (and only) unicycle.
If the seat on the CX is any worse than the LX then I’d say go for the LX because of the seat alone, which is by no means fantastic.
I want to eventually get into trials, street and flat, and would like to ride some moderate distances. A 24" is not ideal for any of these, but will function just fine if you’re learning and want to at least be able to go for little distances without killing yourself spinning on a 20.
I now know I’ll be getting a much larger wheel eventually and a 20" for when I start to learn anything more advanced than simple stuff.
Seriously?
Ok back to the drawing board…:o
Id actually say its closer to a 6, put some shorter cranks on it and a better seat and it will be close to a 7.
is the frame good
And would I be better off buying a nimbus X frame and wheelset, and just put my other uni parts on?
Is the price difference due to the different make up of the frames?
Torker CX
Seat and post:
Small child-size one piece seat without a handle, plastic bumpers in front and back, traditional 22.2mm (7/8in.)seatpost
Frame: traditional steel freestyle frame, quick release on 22.2 mm seat tube. It’s heavy, too much vertical tire clearance for a true freestyle uni
Wheelset: steel rim, cheap stainless steel spokes, cheap cast square taper hub like older unis (1st gen cokers, etc) 129mm steel cranks, plastic beginner pedals.
Great starter for young kids
Torker LX
Seat and seat post:
Miyata-style seat (older, squarer than velo), cheap steel miyata-style 25.4mm (1in.) post.
Frame: chromoly square crown frame w/ pretty good tire clearance, newer ones have wider reinforced crown.
Wheelset:
Fairly strong aluminum single-wall rim, decent ss spokes, pretty good chromo square taper hub, cheap aluminum cranks, plastic beginner pedals.
Better entry-level uni for lager kids and adults, ok for learning basic tricks and light muni.
Torker AX
All same components and seat as LX, the aluminum rounded frame is a little lighter then the other torker frames.
Best for 29er xc/commuting
lx vs cx
is the lx tire bigger than the cx tire in wideness
The LX rim and tire are a bit wider than the CX, and stronger. Unless you plan on upgrading your uni in a year or two I’d shy away from the CX, it’s a great learning uni but you will soon need something more advanced in design.
Since you are looking at an LX anyway I’d go for the LX Pro. It’s new for 2010 and should be available any day now. I bought my son an LX last year since he is hard on anything and it’s held up well. The Pro model has some nice features which you will eventually appreciate (the wheel is closer to the frame crown, the crown ends don’t stick out as much, available with a long neck frame, etc).
One of the LX Pro suppliers in Asia got hit with the tsunami so the shipment is running late. I think SeriousJuggling.com has them but you’d have to check.
thanks blueharmony
i have a torker dx but my friend is getting a unicycle and he learned on mine and wants to know if the lx has a bigger tire thanks blueharmony and and good unicycling:D
We have the prototype of the LX Pro at the store but none for sale yet. The LX Pro is a very nice unicycle in my opinion(much nicer than anything else of the same price range so far) but for anything where your knees might knock the crown it’s a killer. Large pointy edges that get in the way and huuurt. The new DX (20" and 24") is in stock at Serious Juggling it’s actually really nice and rides really well too.
