I was just wondering how much abuse my unicycle will stand. I have a nimbus II unicycle that my friend gave me when he got a new one. This is it new at unicycle.com :

I learned how to ride it and am getting really interested in street, I can go backwards, 180 hops, and up and down stairs, and crank stalling.
I am trying to save up for a street unicycle but right now I can’t afford one.
I have dropped about three feet with out breaking my unicycle but I don’t want to break it before I get a new one. How much more can I do before for instance the wheel rim collapses or the cranks break?
-Thanks
not much longer if you continue to do hops and drops on it. Take it easy on it. You need a splined a hub and a much stronger rim if you’re plannin on street
It’s metal fatigue, people, not “how hard” something can be hit. Keep doing 3’ drops, or a lot more 2’ drops, and eventually the axle will break. That’s a major repair, but at least these days you can get new axles. Taco-ing a wheel is not quite so major; you only need to replace rim & spokes.
So start saving up, and ride gently until you can afford a beefier cycle. If it breaks, you can still fix it.
not very long. Even small hops on a unicycle like that are kidna dangerous, non splined axles, single walled rims all dont like hops. And I would disagree with anyone saying Two foot drops are ok, you can break that with a 20cm drop if you dont land particularly well, and you can definately bend the cranks!
so far i’ve been careful with mine, not doing many drops, but yesterday i was trying crankrolls and static wraps for the hell of it and one of my cranks is slightly bent
at least im getting my nimbus trials soon 
Ok thanks
I will be more careful from now on,
I am looking for a new unicycle and am saving up for it.
This one could stand up to drops and grinds right?
