Nimbus, QU-AX or KH ?

@mill_mobile

Mine has Quax cranks…???

O well the standard it comes with a lightweight qu-ax cranks. I wonder why nimbus don’t make their own cranks? lol

[jamessd]

Nimbus… (isis…)…

[patsandy100]

Lol, thanks for info, I am sticking with the Nimbus seems like its good cause i can only really hop and idle and little drops at the moment however i am getting better quickly Is there somewhere in Australia where i can get these “moment” cranks? and how much does a KH seat cost? i am thinking if i get something from US Save on postage and get 2 things

Postage from US will be quite $$.
I’d just stick with a stock nimbus for a while and go from there.

[patsandy100]

KK will Do.

[jamessd]

You can get them here from your unicycle.com.

I recommend that you use the stock Nimbus ISIS parts until they break (they should last a while, especially if you’re still learning and not being too hard on it), and then buy these cranks as an upgrade later on, seeing as I don’t think your UDC does custom orders.

I think it was Kris himself who said:

“Light, strong, cheap - pick two of them” (maybe switched words, but you get the meaning)

Mountain bike pioneer Keith Bontrager is credited with this saying (though the word order may be different). It’s become a truism for off-road cycling equipment, although in the larger world of cycling, everything muni-related is cheap–even the KH/Schlumpf hub.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Then it was Kris who quoted Keith.

Edit:

Found it

KH 2007 Products- details & info are here

Holes in the rims was a tough decision. The 47mm wide rims definately are more stable, especially for trials. So I think it is the way to go. But a solid 47mm wide rim is really heavy- too heavy in my opinion. I forget who it was (a famous mountainbiker, I think Keith Bontrager) who said “Strong. Light Weight. Pick one”. Given that the wider rim contains more metal, have better geometry to resist twist, and that the rims are spec’d standard with eyelets and the best available alloy (700…

People on here are always saying to upgrade to moment cranks. I was wondering what the difference is between the moments and just some standard cranks, from looking all I can see is that the moments are bigger.

Bigger = different build, and the moments are International Spline Interface Standard (ISIS) so they wont go on a square taper.
ISIS = stronger then square, so if you need stregth they are a option… however not if you have a square taper hub.

I think he may have meant as opposed to the standard ISIS cranks already on the Nimbus ISIS trials…

[patsandy100]

I have emailed my friend and just waiting for a response now. Ill try to find out how he can get the nimbus if hes not part of UDC Moment cranks sound like a good upgrade Any type of seat i should get?

Yeah, thats correct.
I had too many things running around in my head… ISIS Nimbus, my Nimbus with square taper, moments:D
EDIT: Good luck with your purchase!

@patsandy100

[patsandy100]

[patsandy100]

BUmp

I no nothing about Koxx one, apart from that you would be struggling to get one in Aus… and from what i have seen on here they are a mighty fine uni!
Onza… well, all i know about this is to stick away from their Limey… the crown of the frame only has plastic caps on it so after a while you will be cutting your leg open, oh and the crown is massive wide too (yep, i know this uni looks cool but dont go there!).
Hope that helped a bit!

[patsandy100]

Lol, yea a little, Why are knoxx one so difficult to get in?

[r-cormier]

@patsandy100

A good friends, friend He use to import them and he is willing to get me in one

nimbus = 1
Qu-AX = 1

KH=1000000000000000!

kh i think is worth it.
