Yuni 20"

I’m going to get this unicycle soon, but from the picture on unicycle.com it looks rather short. Is that just because the seat post is all the way in, or should I get a seat post extension? If so, is the KH 350mm one the right kind?

I’m 6’3" so I just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t be to short. Oh, and I am intending on using it for trials :slight_smile:

Thanks :smiley:

Edit: Oh, and also, how strong is this uni? Does anyone have it?

i have the same uni just with a profile set up. if you are 6’3" i would guess you are pretty heay, so i would go with the profile set up. i would guess you would bend the suzue hub pretty easy.

Actually I only weigh 156 lbs. so I don’t know if that makes a big difference but…

Wow, thats a big price jump for the profile :astonished: If I was going to spend that much I’d get a KH20 :wink:

I can’t answer your question about the post length. But, I would like to suggest looking into this cycle instead:

It is very similar to the Yuni, but with a better hub. It’s also quite a bit cheaper.

One other thing, remember to order though this link:

It helps support the unicyclist.com site.

Is the nimbus stronger than the Yuni? That was the other one I was thinking of getting, but I thought that the Yuni was better :slight_smile:

If the nimbus is better I’d be glad to get it instead :smiley:

go with a kh!!! you will destroy the nimbus and the yuni really fast. or at leats i did.

I got myself a United. I think that the nimbus is as good or better than the YUni, and since it’s cheaper, it should be good.

On my United, I’ve bent 2 sets of cranks. that’s too many. However, I haven’t bent the hub at all, so I’m not sure that would be a problem. I haven’t seen any square taper cranks that are stronger than the hub, so you should be ok. However, I think you would be a lot happier with the KH. In my case I chose the United because-

-the frames on the nimbus and YUni bash my calves when I hop. This is probably a technique issue, but i didn’t like it.
-I had no money for a KH, and I REALLY needed a uni, becuase all I had was a 26" Sun. That’s not exactly the best for trials. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would have liked to get a KH but it was a bit out of my price range :smiley:

I went for the nimbus since it was cheaper and seemed to be pretty strong from the reviews.

I was in the same situation as you when it comes to trials, since the only other uni I have is a KH24 (which is rather big and heavy :wink: )

Plus for Christmas I got a cool trials setup with a ramp and such so now I just need to get the nimbus :smiley:
