Qu-Ax vs DX for urban MUni

AscenXion 29 May 2006 07:56:46
 
I know that this has been asked before. But I guess I just don't accept
the answer. Besides, these forums exist to talk, so why not just
rediscuss things?

So, basically, I was just wondering which is better for all around
riding: street, distance, MUni, light trials.

I have an LX now, and as a starter unik it's great. But I've only been
riding for a couple weeks and I'm already getting the itch for a unik
that doesn't seem like it's going to break every time I try to do
something other than just ride straight.

So, the real question is is the DX far and away that much better than
the LX? And forget price, which one Qu-Ax or DX is
better/stronger/bet­ter seat/better peddals, better rim and tire...

Oh, and what is Qu-Ax's reasoning behind using such long crank arms?

X

I put this in "Just Conversation" apparently by accident, sorry for the
double post.

i'd go with the Quax my friend has one, its kinda heavy but it is very
well built and feels solid. and i have read alot about bearing and
framed problems on the DX.

As for why they went wiht lng cranks it could be because some say it is
more stable at slow speeds....but if you don't like them, when you
order just ask Uni.com to swap them out for smaller ones. I didn't
want 145's on my KH and they swapped them for 127s :)­

There is no such thing as an all around good uni. Pick what kind of
riding you want to do most, and a buy a uni for it. Then start saving
for another. ;)


So, the real question is is the DX far and away that much better than> the LX?



Compared to the LX, the DX is better for MUni and trials because the
splined hub and crankset are stronger and don't wiggle loose nearly as
easily. The LX is still quite a capable uni--if you avoid big drops,
you can do light muni and trials with it.

DX is fine, just has a problem with the frame, but once that brakes, you
can buy the Nimbus II frame, and still have a good uni for cheap.

Or if you dont want the hassel of upgrading or replacin a part, just go
with the Qu-Ax, cause both the unis are almost the same.

Yes, but since the Quax and the DX are pretty much in the exact same
category, ONE of them WILL be absolutely better at all of those things
over the other.

Thanks for the replies so far. The last time I read this very same
thread (it was posted about half a year ago I believe) most everybody
said that the DX is better. And that seemed strange to me, so that's
why I re-asked the question. I like my LX, but like I said, in just a
few short weeks, I totally see it's limitations, and just don't really
think Torker is the brand I want to stay with. And to clarify a bit, I
REALLY only want to be able to do curb sized jumps up and maybe two to
three foot drops down plus stair sets. So, it's not a situation where I
want to get one uni for one thing, another for another thing, save up
and get another. Those are all the replies that I always read on here.
I merely want to know whether the Quax or the DX is better and which
one is MORE likely to never need to be fixed or replaced.

Again, thanx all for the help.

you would easily be able to do that on the LX. I did a 4 foot drop down
on my friends 20" LX. (I way like 80 pounds though)

Miles

overall, I would say that the Qu-ax is better, would you be getting a
20" or a 24"? because if its the 24" i would get the qu-ax because it
has a 3" wide tire ect.

The main problem is the distance requirement. You can do street, light
trials, and muni with one unicycle, but you really need a bigger wheel
(29" or 36") to do distance.

Also, which one is better may be a matter of personal preference.
Maybe you want shorter cranks so that you can ride faster smoother
lines, or maybe you want longer cranks so that you have more control on
steeper technical terrain. Maybe you just like the way one looks
better than the other.

if you need a good uni for everything... then get a DX and sun 28" cuase
then youd be about as expensive as a qu ax but youd have 2 unis.. one
for distance and one for trials

I will have to say the DX still.

I say this only because I havent rode a Qu-ax yet, but I think it has a
thinner rim, then the Alex DX32 rim that coems on a DX.
