I was wondering if anyone has made a splined freestyle uni.
parts I was thinking of-
KH/Koxx/profile/Qu_Ax cranks and hub
a bunch of spokes
alex triple wall rim
hookworm tire
frame, doesnt really matter what
seat.
anyone done this?
uhh why would you want a splined uni for freestyle?
you could also do drops on it, and it would rule for gliding/ unispins ect.
i use a “splined freestyle” uni for street
can you post pics?
I had one almost identical to Anthonys, it was awesome.
how useful is it compared to a normal trials/ street uni? Because if I ever bought a freestyle uni, this sounds like it would be better.
i have one. there nice and if ur rough on them the cranks wont get jacked up as much. but the drops part that u were talking about i wont try that much. a freestyle frame isnt made to do that and will brake. but the spilded hub is nice.
I was thinking about one
I read that the new Qu-ax “Professional” uses an ISIS hub. That’s how it is advertised at municycle.com.
Seems quite unbelievable at that price point, but I think this is no typo.

I think that the frame is one of the most important parts on a freestyle unicycle. A friend of me has build a unicycle with a longneck frame, the old onza hub, a 1.95 tire and a miyata seat. But it is not very nice to ride because the cranks are to long.
lol i just had an idea for a (very expensive) but awesome lightweight uni.
KH trials frame
KH 125mm. hub and cranks
KH seatpost
nimbus gel saddle (blue:) )
spokes
alex triple wall rim
maxxis hookworm tire at 110 psi.
torker LX pastic pedals
Buy that or make one with Koxx hub and short cranks.

Koxx 110mm cranks: Awsome. No Q.

Next Unicycle Purchase!!!
ok, taking what you have said, how about this
kris holm frame $200
kris holm seatpost $25
UDC gel saddle $40
maxxis hookworm $13
koxx 110mm. cranks $80
koxx hub $70
spokes $20
alex triple wall rim $50
torker lx pedals $10
total $508
edit: will the koxx cranks/hub work with the kh frame? I’m pretty sure UDC.uk has a uni with it…
or you could just buy a koxx-1 freestyle…
Thats not splined though.
I have evan’s old street uni. It is really good for freestyle, I probably won’t be using the splined hub for big stuff but its still nice that it is there and I could go big on it if I wanted.
I would definately use it for any combination of unispins and drops:)
I think the koxx freestyle frame is very expensive, in germany, a normal long neck frame cost only 35€ and the koxx something like 50€. And the koxx is, in my eyes, very bad for freestyle because of the “nimbus” style. But koxx has build a very good lightweight freestyle unicycle which weights only 4kg maybe this with a splinted hub would be the ultimate splinted freestyle unicycle.
yea, and with a stronger rim, because i dont think the koxx freestyle rim is very strong. I’m probably wrong though. also, when doing standup tricks, does the seat clamp really get in the way that much?
