Huni-Rex

Did you or has anyone else ordered it from this facebook group? https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554365097591

Someone linked a different facebook group earlier in the thread but it’s set to private. Just wondering what your experience was, if it’s arrived yet, and if my site is legit, because their €99 + shipping price sounds like a scam to me.

The private group has said the same, 99 euros and shipping.
These are rare, but not expensive.

I tried but I don’t have Facebook account so a friend was doing communications with them for me.

we got bank details but each time I tried to pay there was connection issues between our banks.

communication with seller after this seamed strange so I didn’t bother.

It would have been nice to of got hold of one so it’s a shame it didnt work out.

Hi, I’m sorry to read it :disappointed_face:. There might have been some technical failure or I missed something, sorry again.

Anyways, there are still many Huni-Rex unicycles in stock for €99+shipment.

All four colors are available.

If interested and you don’t want to use Facebook, you can email me as well: nkertesi@gmail.com

Hi, I can assure you it’s not a scam.

The original price was €650 but unfortunately the company was bankrupted (due to Hungary’s economical / monetary crisis).

So, we just try to save the remnant stock and sell it for €99 each (the original price was €650). If interested, I can show you the stock thru messenger video call etc. to prove it’s not a scam. Or you can chat with anyone who bought one from us, you can find many Huni overs in the Facebook group.

im curious, how much is the shipping to USA?

I just recently bought one, shipping ended up just over $200USD (to a midwestern state, yours may be different of course)

Is it hard to ride uphill at all, even if you are going at a good speed? How heavy is it? ISIS cranks? How difficult is it to move the pedals? Would you recommend changing the crank length?

I haven’t tried riding it uphill yet, though now I’ve got a longer seat post on it so it’s much more comfortable than before. I’ll reply with an update once I’ve charged up a few hills on it :cowboy_hat_face:

I don’t have an access to a good scale yet so I can’t give a number, but it’s definitely heavier than the average uni. I’ve got my Club 26" and my Oracle 36" with me to compare it to though. The Club is easily lighter than both the Oracle and the Huni, of course. It’s harder for me to tell between the Huni and the Oracle which is heavier, but I think the Huni tips the scales a bit more. The frame has a few solid plates of aluminum, two bottom brackets, and of course the drivetrain… And I haven’t yet installed a bar or a brake yet, so mine will still get a bit heavier :woozy_face: EDIT: (Just to add, the Oracle is already equipped with a bar using the Nimbus Shadow base, as well as the disc brake that came with the uni. And yet the Huni is still heavier!)

It comes with cotterless square taper cranks. Was kinda surprised it wasn’t ISIS, but I’m fine with it. I’m doubtful there’s an easy way to convert it to ISIS without some specially machined parts.

I find it’s a little harder to pedal than my 36er. I’m pretty sure the effective gear ratio is a bit higher, but the efficiency loss from the drivetrain does come into play as well. If you haven’t ridden a 36er yet though it’s going to feel fairly hard to turn the cranks. You’d get used to it though with enough riding :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it possible? Sure. Would I recommend? Ehhh… Probably not. Putting something longer than 125s on it would make turning a fun game of Pedal-Strike Roulette for sure. Shorter cranks is probably a worthy experiment, but I like riding 125s on most of my unis so that’s what I’ll stick with for a while. Maybe I’ll play around with 114s if I’m feeling particularly curious

Has anyone tried ‘remaking’ the Huni Rex? From what I can see, there are some design flaws. Or is it patented and we can’t build something similar?
