Off-topic

Hi Ive been unicycling for about 3 years now and I started out with a regular Torker 20" freestyle cheapo uni. And when i mean cheap i mean cheap. Every time i do anything but just ride the damn thing something gets bent. Now im looking at a trials because I want to start learning some cool new tricks. But im stuck b/t some choices. This will be my first trials unicycle and i am able to ride perfectly forward, I can idle, and i can almost ride backwards. Also if there is one that you think will suit me better than the two below plz let me know

HEY CORNDOG!!

Since you’re here, we assume you’re looking for Just Conversation.

I’d recommend getting 36", like a Coker.

Otherwise, re-post this in Rec.Sport

As Billy mentioned above this should probably be posted it Rec Sport in order to help get more opinions.

In answer to your question: I believe the only difference between the two uni’s is the color. Depending on your size / weight and how agressive you plan to get in your trials endeavers, you might want to upgrade the crank arms on either of those two units to KH Moments, as they will tend to be a much stronger arm than the stock ones that come with the Nimbus.

I like the blue one. You should pick the color you prefer. Chrome will hold up a lot better to the abuses of riding, but blue at least has some color to it. If it were up to me, I’d get a red one.

Don’t repost this thread, as it’s already been pretty much answered. If you post any new threads, please use a sentence in the Thread Title (such as “Which one of these two unicycles should I buy?”).

Welcome to the forums!

I’d get a llama.

yes they are the same, but $10 more on the second one for the paint.

I got one of those in red today and i’m excited to get it.
