Whoa! Hudson, you could put car brakes on that thing. Plenty of sidewall there it looks like.
Yes, there is like a triple size of brake pads 
Sask, I agree. I donât have a brake yet and I am not in a hurry. I will go the disc route when I do. If I would have known this, it may have changed my decision to buy this one. Seems odd that they are mixing wheels.
Kram - which rim did you get?
The braking surface on my recently purchased Qu-Ax Luxus 36 looks like HudsonAktauâs. It is completely flat. I donât have a brake on my unicycle, though, because I live in an incredibly flat region of the United States (Marylandâs Eastern Shore). There just isnât a need.
I bought my unicycle from UDC UK. Didnât you buy yours from Goudurix in Canada? Maybe Qu-Axâs North American and Eurasian product lines differ?
Ha ha, thats one of the best pics in this thread.
Yes, Goudurix in Canada.
heres my 36er in its current form, looking into fitting a rear bag on it at some point, maybe a carradice sqr tour bag (i think i have enough seatpost)
Good day to everybody!
I found my 36er a way too heavy⌠Could you please advice the best way to reduce weight?
Now it is stock QuAx Luxus 36er w/Nimbus DX Aluminium pedals, KH Fusion Freeride seat, KH T-Bar, Magura rim brakes and wireless computer. Total weight is 10 kg.
Will it be reasonable to go for lighter pedals, tire (night rider) and foss tube?
Now it is feels more like truck then uni⌠I am going to put some long distances under this wheel.
The wheel seems to be the best place to loose weight on any 36er from what i have read. Between a foss tube and a new tire you can save >1/2kg from the area that you feel the weight of most.
I am thinking of putting a foss tube in mine at some point but am not going to change the tyre until that wears out.
Iâve been running a TA for almost 4 years and about 5000km and still no problems at all so yeah, it really is durable. Itâs quite terrible for muni however, Iâm upgrading to a nightrider or to the new lighter tyre if Iâm able to get one of those somehow. But for road riding I can strongly recommend the TA, itâs really nice and at least I havenât had any problems with its weight.
My UDC Titan. I got the frame powder coated and added Nimbus venture alloy cranks, Nimbus alloy saddle post, KH saddle, KH T-Bar, eclat orange pedals, and sunlite MX brake kit.

Best bet: Sell it and buy a KH 36 or an Oracle 36.
Any money you put into the QuAx will be wasted, the frame and wheel are heavy by design. Buy a complete uni with the parts you want.
Biggest noticeable weight loss would be in the tire and tube as that is rotational weight. Foss tube and the Todd tire or a Nightrider shaved.
Seat, brake, and T bar are as light as you can get within reason.
Cranks and pedals, try the Nimbus Ventures and some lighter pedals like the Nuke Proof Electrons (300gm)
I can not sell it within my country (not talking about city). So this option pending till I crack this beast on halfs 
I will try to replace tire with tube and pedals⌠Or I will ride what I have. Still in doubtâŚ
Edited: thank you very much anyway
Coker with RaceFace Crank Set
I just bought a used Coker, but the cranks were toast. The only cotterless parts in my bin, was this set of 175s. Why not? I didnât even bother removing the chain ring, as this was no beauty contest. I mounted up and rode happily into the setting sun. 125s and 150âs in the mail already. 
Looks good, I wouldnât want to hit my shin on the chain ring though. Ouch!
Hi HudsonAktau,
by changing the pedals to Wellgo Magnesium for example you can save over 100g (rotating mass, small radius but off center) and by changing the tube you can save about 380g (rotating mass, big radius).
This will be a significant change and maybe worth trying. Donât know anything about the weight of the tire and what a nightrider would save, even hundred gramms and you end up with more than half a kilo less weight in total.
The remaining Qu-Ax parts are good and will probably last you a long time.
Greetings

The Quax frame is aluminium and not at all heavy. The only difference in the wheel is that itâs 48 spokes- any extra weight from those pales in comparison to weight savings gained from using a lighter tyre/wheel.
I planning to replace pedals with ConTec Pedals which weights 245 grams.
Tire weight feels like more like 4-4,5 kg, heavy like hell 
My thoughts are like yours. So first things to replace are tire, tube and pedals.
My frame is made of steel but not very heavy by feelings. Unfortunately I can not remove some spokes.
Thatâs what I figured.
Tube and tire changes will make the most difference, a Foss tube is an easy fix, a Nightrider is still quite heavy (1800-2000gm), so how about getting a Todd tire?
You could also try tubeless, thatâs what I run and itâs the lightest way to go.
Your wheel is quite heavy, as is your frame, so itâd be better to wait until you can buy a complete than to upgrade those components.
