Well the first issue is:

You’re 15 and have a kid :astonished: ?

What unicycle is it?

Have you thought of simply sending it back?

oh soz not kid brother
yer but i bought it for him at a a shop called oddballs in brighton and thats miles awway from me. its a standard trainer 16" heres the link

The frame is likely to be strong, but if he does trials on it pretty much everything elase will break.

You’re best of letting him use that fro a while while you save up money to be this, which is the best budget trials unicycle out there - and will not break anywhere near as quickly as the trainer unicycle you have.

If you want a strong 16" because he is that size, there is a smaller version of the above linked unicycle here. But, if you think he will fit a 20" (you can cut the seat post down if need be) then that is your best option because it will save you upgrading again when he grows.

ok tyvm

It might be worth contacting OddBalls to find out about their return policy.

Monty do a 16" trials tire, I think, but the rest of the unicycle won’t put up with trials use, does it even have a CroMo hub?
How old is your brother?

According to Oddballs return policy they have a no quibble cash refund if you’re not happy.

Hey! Run by Max! Good shop!

I got my contact juggling ball from there:)

I noticed you said trails, not trials

Since you are 15, and this is for your kid brother, and you bought him a 16 ", I will assume he is small and the 16 fits him well.

Not a bad unicycle then. Well suited for a 10 year old, to ride on trails. :slight_smile: Soften up the tire for him, for trail riding. Maybe 12 psi.

The price you paid seems slightly high. That sounds like about 130 $ USA. I don’t know a lot about the market over there. Maybe you could find something better from Roger at UDC UK, at a better price. Beginner uni’s over here can be had for about 65 $.

I assumed he meant a trials unicycle rather than riding trails as he said ‘‘a trails’’.

Things appear to be much more expensive over here :roll_eyes:

I already gave him a link to the Nimbus 16" ISIS which I feel is not just a good learner unicycle, but one that won’t break.

Yer he is 10 but hes quite small for his age and hes happy with the 16inch isis
btw in america i did have a look at there prices and they are much less.

UDC’s cheapest stuff is $150 or thereabouts. $65 might get you a super crappy ebay cycle.

That is very funny.
Where I come from anyway.

Many of South Africa’s indigenous languages have taken to using english words for objects and concepts that ‘came with the white man’, if you will.
Quite often these loan-words simple get an ‘e’ added to the front of it to become words like ‘eTelevision’ or ‘eCellphone’.

An eBaycycle is therefore funny.
To me.

I now return you to your normal programming.

cookoo cookoo lol i had no idea wat ur talking about etelevision?lol :thinking:
