Great muni for the price. The savage tire is still bouncy even though its no gazz. I couldnt tell you how good the frame is for one-footed skills because, well, i cant do them, but ive heard they are good. The seat is fine, ecept fot the handle, which ripped in a metter of 2 weeks. I upgraded the rim to a sun-doublewide, and i havent had any trouble yet. Hub/axle/cranks/- good so far, but i havent put to much stress on them…yet. Pedals-good at first but they wear quickly. i would give this product an 8/10 overall.

Greetings, I’m planning on purchasing the same MUni with a few modifications (pedals, cranks and saddle), and I’m waiting for the Gazz 3.0 tires to return to the market. Hmmm, I guess a lot of modifications (grin).
I have two questions:
-
How close is the fat 3.0 tire to the frame?
-
Did your Yuni frame line up nicely with the bearings, or did you have to tweak it to fit on the bearings?
Cheers,
Jason

The tire that i have on it, the savage, has good clearance, and it is also on a 24" frame. If you plan on getting the gazz, you will have to get a 26" frame, and those are out of stock as well.
At Unicycle.com they bend the frame a bit so that it fits on the bearings. At first, i was having trouble getting the frame on, and i had to play with it just a little bit to fit it on.
This is the clearance on my 24" Nimbus II with a 24" x 3" Gazz.
Cheers, Gary
huh?
WOW! I was told at unicycle.com that you had to have a 26" frame, and the gazz would not fit in the 24". Are you sure thats a 24" frame? What uni is that alltogether?
Re: huh?
It is a 24" Nimbus II (UK), the other pics are here. Some people prefer to have a larger stone clearance and use either a 26" or 28" frame though a 24" should be a little bit stronger with shorter legs, like me
I have had a few stones caught in the tyre but they have only pinged a few times before flying out, something to consider depending on the terrain you ride.
The exact length of the Nimbus II 20" frame has changed but I don’t know about the other sizes so I would ask before any purchase to make sure (I did).

No, I can keep quiet no longer…
Either the Nimbus II frames are made with large tolerances, or I’ve just got a funny setup, but I presume the former. This is my most recent ride…
That is the frame and tyre from the 20"x2.5" UDC Trials unicycle: http://www.unicycle.uk.com/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=153
I can find no fault at all with either of my Nimbus II frames, but I wish this one had a little bit more clearance in it…
Phil, just me
