trial uni's

What you guys are calling a gusset I don’t think is the correct term. I would call it a reinforcing sleeve (but I can’t tell for sure because I haven’t found a good enough picture).

@ Heelnipper: And as for the KH it dosen’t have the gusset because the two pipes have been fishmouthed together.

Is the Torker just shoved into the hole or is it welded?

Would someone take a closeup picture of their Torker and let me look at it?

i think it’s welded…see

You’re probably right but I still need a close up picture.

And that one dosen’t have a reinforceing sleeve at all, it might actually have the gusset you guys were talking about.

ya i know it dosen’t thats why i’m starting to like the Qu-Dx

Another thing to take into account is nubs (metal sticking out from where the crank is attached to the hub). The torker dx, nimbus hoppley, and qu-ax all have them. KH, onza, and Koxx don’t. If I were to do it over I would get a non-nubed unicycle.

P.S. Don’t mind the fact that I have a KH hub it’s old and the new ones don’t have nubs.

If you plan on getting a lot better at riding, suck it up and pay the extra money for the Qu-ax 20" Trials. It’s not as expensive as other really nice trials rides, but it’s built like a tank. I weigh about 150, ride a couple hours a day doing drops up to 5 1/2 feet, and the only thing I’ve replaced is the pedals.

neeto thats what i wanna hear!!! ok i think i’m gonna get Qu-Ax trial.

dude those red pedals rock out loud

ehh they didn’t have green or black in el chepo.

But thanks anyway.

pshah you don’t need green or black

It’s hard to justify buying anything but a KH now that they are available at this price. Best quality, strength, light. And Kriss is our hero !

i got a torker dx 24 and it has the thomg, renforcing sleeve, definatley not a gusset, that i bought from shop sunrise cyclery in december

go for the torker… ive been looking around for a real trials uni instead of my makeshift one, and the torker is probably the best deal that you can get. itd will probably even last you till you start doing 4-5 foot drops, maybe even more!

funny you should mention…i’ve already done a 4 ft ledge :stuck_out_tongue: but it was on a kh trials so…ya know

Tokers take a lot more than 4 foot drops. Double that ammount and you have got my highest drop, and ive done it a few times. I have also done tons of 5-8 sets, and some other stuff that is ahrd on unis. Dx is still great.

don’t get me wrong i love the dx! it’s just i like the Qu-Ax better.

All of the online photos of the DX on these sites are of the 2006 (even that actually have 2007’s).

The DX can take anything you can dish out. Eventually you’ll break the pedals, seatbace, and seatpost (stronger versions of all are available), just like anyone who really pushes just about any of the splined unis.

ok well i’ll figure it out in aug, when my birthday comes around

I thought the same when I got a muni, I’ve had to buy a new wheel set since then.

ok so is this a 2007 model of troker dx?
