it should be fine if you want to do freestyle and flat. Some people prefer a wider tire for flat but a skinny one should be fine for starts. Its isis so it is compatible with other isis cranks (moments, koxx-one) if you want them. I like my nimbus gel (after some modifications) but many people dont but you can swap out the seat to a kh. I cant speak from experience but it should be a pretty good ride for you to learn some beginner tricks on and it is easily upgradable.
The nimbus X is one of the best freestyle unis out there, without going through the expense of alu or ti frame. Best bargain for a very nice uni. I loved mine, but switched wheel size.
I purchased this uni 4 months ago for freestyle/flatland riding, and I like it a lot.
I upgraded to the Nimbus Venture Freestyle cranks. They have held up to 540 unispins easily, and I like how they roll for flatland.
Only thing that hasn’t held up is the seat post; I busted it last week when working on my 540 unispins. I just recieved the KH 22.2 mm seat post and I think that will hold up. The seat post probably won’t be a problem for you though if you’re not attempting big unispins.
I prefer a thin wheel, so that’s not a problem at all.
And thanks for the input on the seat post, uni-spins aren’t really my concern, but I’m sure I’ll get into big ones eventually, so I can upgrade the post when I do.
Another Nimbus X 20" rider here to tell you it’s a good deal, and money aside still one of the best choices for freestyle. The Nimbus Gel seat is on par with many of the other high quality freestyle/street seats so I don’t think you will need to switch it but if you do the KH street is also compatible.
another happy customer here the thing is tough as nails for a freestyle uni, and lighter than others I’ve used, though I wouldn’t call it particularly “light” I like the ventures upgrade as well : )
