So I have decided to upgrade from my old behemoth quax yellow in turn for something better and lighter. So far the only thing I have ordered is a blue trials rim from Viz. I really like this rim so far. In terms of looks it's amazing. The color is crazy vibrant and I'm really loving the octagonal holes. It's the lightest rim I think I have come across at 482g. I'll have to wait and see how durable it is, but it seems promising.
To go along with this rim I am building as follows.
Seat-KH street with CF base
Seatpost-Quax reinforced or KH aluminum
Seatpost clamp-Animal singlebolt in blue
Frame-KH longneck(probably stripped)
Hub-Nimbus ISIS
Cranks-Onza ISIS
Pedals-Odyssey twisted pc’s glow in the dark
Rim-Viz duh
Tire-Monty eagle claw
This should turn out epic and under 11 pounds.:D Tell me what you think about the build and the rim.
Yeah that’s weird. It’s not so much a scratch as it is a wrinkle in the aluminum. I don’t think it will compromise strength or anything but it’s weird.
Where can you get those? I’ve looked but haven’t seen any.
Edit:Here’s a little fun fact. I was worried about getting shafted by duty rates from unicycle UK. I looked online and found out there is a suspension of duty fees on unicycles coming in to the US at least through 2009. So to anyone in the US worried about duty rates, dont worry;)
Hey everybody! I was surprised today when around 10:30 a DHL guy arrived at my door with a box from UDC uk. So I got all my things to build my ultimate trials uni and its awesome! I’m so pumped to get this thing all built up. Right now I’m using my muni frame and seat so it looks crazy. Im planning on getting a CF frame of maybe even a Nimbus Ti. Here are a bunch of sort of fuzzy pics for your enjoyment.
Thanks. Yeah the frame is my muni frame so I’m going to change ot out. It’s all I have right now so I’m going with it temporarily. I’m gettin one of those cf frames. It will look even better.
The “cut your clamp in half” move worked realy well on my XTP when I was in a “weightweenie mood”. But now I prefer a sturdier 2 bolt clamp do to the post twisting. The 10 gram loss wasn’t worth allways needing to retighten my clamp… But you can still try it.
