Hmm, a third page appeared in the “New Products” section…

And now there is a scripting error… site changes are definately going live.
[edit]
I was still on page 3 or 2 of the “new products”. There is now only 1 page.
That hub is supposedly considerably lighter than a KH Ti. Presumably it’s a bit puny, otherwise everybody will be using them (and the narrow bearing spacing will be a pain). I wonder if a normal width one (if it existed) would be strong enough for xc riding (presumably when they say “aluminium spindle” they don’t mean the axle do they?)…
Rob
why did they have to do gold! polished aluminum would be much more agreeable.
The eclipse unicycle is pretty interesting though. I wonder how strong the frame and hub are. Compared to a square taper cr-mo hub.
Not yet… the hub is a freestyle hub and is designed to be the best freestyle hub possible.
It has been under test for the last 9 months and we have filed to break it. It is a lot stronger than we predicted. There is the possibility that we will do a standard bearing spacing version of it… but lets see.

The new gold hubs are really light, is the weight with bearings and nuts? Otherwise it’s lighter than the Exceed Ti hub as well.
Does anyone else think the Ti trials is really overpriced at £850? It’s no lighter than 4.8kg. That means, get a KH, put Wellgo MG-1s on it, and a light try-all tyre, venture cranks, a carbon base and you have a unicycle that is just as light with loads of spares for a few £100 less.
Great, finally a modern freestyle unicycle! 
From the pictures the shape of the new eclipse frame looks perfect.
I guess the new frame is not compatible with Suzue hubs, due to the bearing size?
But given the lower weight and ISIS it is pretty tempting to get the new wheelset as well.
No. Titanium is not for saving weight, its for stiffness and durability. unfortunately its very expensiv - but at the moment its the best material. I hope in few years and with rising number it will get cheaper - same as stainless steal and aluminium.
Why you ride a KH? You can get unis for half the price with comparable wheight 
Yes it is compatible with a shim to convert the bearings.
Roger
Yes, the weight is complete as shown in the picture. Of course it is lighter, it has an aluminium spindle.
The Ti will be stronger than the Aluminium frames… but will not necessarally be lighter.
(Ti is really expensive!)
Roger
I’m surprised the Ti trials isn’t lighter really. My 29er only weighs a bit over 800g more, and that’s with a normal seat base, normal KH hub and Magura brake. I reckon if I used a Ti hub, carbon seat base and cut the foam down (or even just used a street foam instead of the freeride) I could save another 400g+ (albeit at great expense!)… Are 19" trials tyres really heavy?
That freestyle uni looks nice - and I wouldn’t normally be a fan of gold, but it seems to suit it somehow with the white tyre and saddle.
Rob
So the whole axle is aluminium is it?
Rob
Trials tires are very heavy. TryAll just made a lighter one that saves around 190g i think:

Nice new stuff btw I like the alu version of the Nimbus X frame… shame that they are 92mm spacing… no chance to upgrade my old Nimbus X with that frame i guess… (old square CrMo hub)
Sorry Marco, you will need buy both hub and frame…
Nimbus impulse looks good
I have the Nimbus 36 Night rider. With magura hydraulic rim brakes and T7 bar.
I love the look of the impulse but have some questions:
- Did the hub become narrower to accomadate disc or frame stretched wider ?
- How does the shadow handle hold up to UPD’s Seem’s a bit longer then T7.
- Only see impulse on unicycle.uk and none of other site is there a reason ?
- Can an existing Nimbus 36 Night rider be converted to an impulse setup ?
Todd
The hub is not wider than the Nimbus 36" Nightrider, the wheel is dished to allow for the hub fitting. This gives the same offset from the centre on the none disc side and about the same offset as a none wide hub on the disc side. The wheel seams very stable with this combination and through testing has shown great durability.
The Handle can take some hammering… I dropped the prototype at about 17mph on the Dosseldorf Marathon and there was no damage at all. That was even with unhardened ‘T’ sections. Should they break/bend they are easily replaced, the design is that they should be sacraficial in a really bad crash and protect the base part from damage.
Canada should have some of the Impulse unicycles, they just take time to get on the site with time differences etc.
It will be hard to upgrade a nightrider to disc as it does not have the bosses for mounting the calliper or the cable support (although that is less of a problem). The shadow is upgradable without a problem on any existing 36", you may need a different seatpost though for the KH as it is 27.2 or a shim.
Mmh 
New hub means new wheelset… the old hub is 48 hole…
Dont want to spend that much money right now
