Which Trials Uni Should I get

[jcbgrnr]

I’m interested in buying a trials unicycle. I’ve narrowed it down to 3 choices:

Koxx-One Devil Flight Green Uni

I’ve had this unicycle for a few years, but it’s still in great shape. I’m selling it because I don’t ride it much these days and wanted someone who would to have it. Specs: Saddle: Koxx-One black velvet zebra saddle Seatpost: Pitfighter II Seat clamp: Fluo green Koxx-One single bolt Frame: Koxx-One devil Tire: Try All Stiky 19x2.5 Rim: Fluo green double walled, 36 spokes Hub: Koxx-One reinforced ISIS Cranks: Koxx-One 140mm reinforced Pedals: Glow in the dark Odyssey Twisted PC Valve …

Or would it be worth paying more for something like this:

QU-AX Luxus 18 inch unicycle

What do you guys think?

It’s all about how much you can spend. There is nothing inherently wrong with any of those trials, in fact the only bad thing I’ve heard about one of them (The Devil) is that the frame gets torn up pretty easily.

Perhaps stay away just from the starter though.

If you have the extra money for a KH or an impact, then by all means I’d recommend just jumping past the medium level trials like nimbus and koxx, and progress on up to something even less likely to break.

If you don’t have the money for it though, then I think the nimbus trials would be your best bet, slightly heavier than any of the impact unicycles and the KH, but still quite good.

What’s wrong with the impact start up uni?

That Koxx one would need a frame bad

I think that Koxx-one is a pretty good deal. It looks like it’s in very good condition. The rim, hub, tire, cranks, and post are all good quality. The downside is that the seat base has a little flex to it, and the frame dents easily. So don’t get mad and throw it or something. I think it is a good place to start. It’s only a couple of upgrades away from being a really nice unicycle.

What kind of riding are you interested in? The uni is set up for trials – 140mm cranks for control and no rollos to bash your ankles on. That means it will work well for trials and street riding, but if you’re into flatland, you’ll have a hard time with rolls. There is not much room for your foot on the cranks. Same for the Nimbus unless you upgrade the cranks to Spirits and buy some rollos.

With shipping the koxx one would be about the same as the other unis. Is it still worth it?
Also, I am interested in mostly trials.

@CampinSam

Why?

[CampinSam]

I know absolutely no one who has it, and as such it hasn’t withstood the test of time yet with different buyers.

going with koxx-one or nimbus would guarantee a reliable uni.

My friend has the started and it’s Not so good with quality
