RAWR
Pictures?
tacoed rim?
what exactly is broken?
no pictures, my camera is gone at the moment, umm i broke my 05 DX frame
I was going to guess that. But I wanted pictures more than my guess.
hey, me too!
I emailed UDC about a warranty, and they didn’t say “no”, they told me to send pics…so I did today, and am now waiting for replies.
Mine broke when I was pulling up during a hop. I almost hit myself in the forehead with the rusty broken frame top…
These broken dx stories are making me very nervous. I have the all black dx. I got it off e-bay. I know it’s not the 06, must be 05 or maybe even 04. I post a pic when I get a chance
No red stickers, alex dx32 rim, or CC tire, then its a 05 or earlier.
Ok, after reading all of these threads about broken dx frames I decided to have a closer look at mine. I have had it since August, so that means 2.5 months of riding. I bought it off e-bay, probably from one of you guys, who knows?
Anyway it was in good shape when I got it, but know I am seriously considering replacing the frame. Check out he pictures below. At first I thought it was just me, but know I think it is pretty obvious that the seat post is bending slightly forward. Also I just found a hairline crack on the seatpost weld.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anyway I can reinforce it before it completely brakes on me?
It is hard to see the crack here, but if you look closely I think you can see it.
Well, as you can see, it doesn’t have any red stickers, but it does have the 48 rims. I put the oddessy 2.2 tire on. It is much better than the original 2.125 K-Rad
I’d say get a new frame now, before it breaks. So when it does you’ll have an immediate replacement. I don’t think that frame has much time left…
OK so what frames will work with my wheel set?
I’m not sure if old dxes have 40mm bearings, but if they do a nimbus 2 frame is perfect. Inexpensive and strong.
Yes, the Nimbus II frame will fit, and is cheap and strong. Its what I use.
My 06 had that same crack, in the same place, and I was able to ride it for about another 2 months before it broke off cause I landed inbetween two planks of wwod and the sideways forced ripped the frame in half.
hahaha.
i DID hit myself in the face with my seat when i pulled up and my seatpost broke cause of a crack that was there before or something…
but to be on topic, that sucks.
do you have anything else to ride while you wait for a new frame?
not being able to ride sucks.
Id say ge tht nimbus II, but UDC doesnt have them in 20" version falt crown:(
I noticed they didn’t have the flat crown. I really would like a flat crown, I just learned to ride onefooted and would like to learn a few other stand on the frame tricks,
Does the Nimbus II come with a flat crown?
The Nimbus II has a flat crown but isn’t in stock/listed on UDC America.
The Nimbus X Longneck is also really strong, in stock, and only $3 more than the Nimbus II. It is designed for freestyle skills, but that won’t make it bad for anything else - You’ll just have a killer street uni!
I have a Nimbus II and it’s great + powdercoated blue. I’d like a longneck…they’re nice…
hope this helps… 
So is the Nimbus II Longneck the same as the regular Nimbus II? Actually I would like to get the wide version so I can put a beefy tire on it without it rubbing on the frame but I can only find it at unicycle.uk
