What freestyle unicycle? - UK

[lemaildetom]

Hi all!

 I'd like to have your freestyle opinion. I want to enjoy more ww and gliding than today on my KH street. And maybe one day enjoy coasting. I think a square frame will be much apreciated.

 I saw this new Nimbus X on different website? Is it good? What other serious option should I consider? He looks to me than with KH moment in 110mm this uni became really attractive.

 I'm based in UK, so my choice also depend on dealer's. But I can also arrange things with France.

Thanks
Tom

nimbus X is nice, but custom is the way to go really

If you want somethign cheap the quax profi gives you isis cranks for unbeliavably cheap. Check out the german site municycle.com as well as unicycle.co.uk for more choice. Postaeg from germany for a full uni is about the same as from the uk.

Yup, custom all the way However, the stock Nimbus X isn’t bad if you haven’t done freestyle before and don’t know exactly what you want in a freestyle uni.

I’m currently trying to find some Miyata parts, and I also have set up a small foundry to make some of my own.

Tom, je te conseil des manivelles Qu-Ax 100mm ou les K1 90mm…si tu es déjà habitué avec de courtes manivelles.

Sinon tu peux bien de débrouillé aussi avec les 110mm de KH, mais pour moi, c’est trop long

Their first language is French, I think.

I just did this for the benefit of people who don’t speak English as a first language. It’s hard enough for ME to read this kind of thing.

Hey, hey now…

I’m currently trying to learn 3 different languages.

For one of them I’m learning a whole new system of writing.
千死ね

I speak Spanish in an Indian accent for some reason , especially when I’m reading it out loud.

@Emile.m

I hate people that hate other languages because they don’t know them Especially english native people that won’t give a shit trying to speak other languages because mostly everyone speak theirs.

AHAHA

Moi aussi il me font chier cette bande d’anglais qui save meme pas dire un mot en francais. Trop con.

I’m sure that if I put my mind to it, I could learn more french thanks to this forum than the bloody lessons at school.

You build it yourself, or hire someone to put together the parts that you want.

I almost got a 24" flamingo just for variety (my current freestyle is a 20"), but I think it has sold now, and I would have had to drive for three hours to pick it up
