hi, i have been riding a torker lx for awhile and i would like an upgrade.
the nimbus II 20" looks like a nice one but i would love to hear your guys opinion on it. or any other suggestions for a unicycle that would be in the $250 and lower range. i would be using this for street freestyle.
i am about 5’9 so would this work for my height?
what seat post size would be best?
and are the standard cranks best or is another size better?
is the 20" or 24" better for my height and for freestyle?
That would be an okay uni. It would deffantly stand up to a beating. I also like my qu-ax cranks so no need to spend $125 on KH Moments. I am in your height range and I have a 300mm seat post and it’s perfect. The twenty inch would be way better for what you plan on doing. Over all I think it would be a fine investment but there are nicer unis out there. A good uni is the Nimbus Trials. It’s almost the same, but a better rim and cranks with a differnt tire.
Your gonna have to decide which discipline you want to put most of your time into. Street or Freestyle?. You can dabble in either with a unicycle built for whichever, tho a freestyle uni will be much much better for freestyle than a street uni. As well as a street uni being much much better for street than a freestyle. I would say that it is prolly easier for a beginner to learn some freestyle with a street setup than it would be to learn street on a freestyle setup. The uni you linked to has a 20" tire which is ideal for freestyle , however for street you will gain from having a 19" (trials) type wheel.
It is just a bit more than than 250, but worth every penny. It will be great for street and easy enough to upgrade when you want some new parts. This IMO is the best off the rack street uni on the market without breaking into the next money bracket. It will work pretty well for playing around with freestyle tricks while not limiting your big drops and such with street riding.
i think im going with the trials one, as i have always wanted to do trials. and it looks quite durable too. i should be able to pull off some freestyle tricks with it too.
Yes-
Both are good unis. The longneck frame (the one on the street uni) looks to be a bit more expensive than the nimbus II (the one on the trials). So to me the street uni is a better deal price and product wise. I like the longneck frame a bit more, however the Trials frame takes a larger seatpost, which will be stronger.
WTF
Pure garbage. I am referring to your comment. Just wanted to make it clear to what my opinion was about.
First off I disagree with what you said. Secondly it is not clear what unicycle you are talking about. A. The unicycle the title of this thread is asking about. or B. The unicycle I linked to.
Either way I disagree. And your comment is quite useless and rude to someone asking advice. You need to at least back up your OPINION with reasons you feel that way. It would also help your case that to say I think, or I feel. This way there is no confusion about you stating your thoughts and opinions as fact.
