nimbus trials unicycle, any good?

Juggling_unicyclist_joe 30 April 2005 12:39:50
 
hey everybody

i have been riding for a while now and have managed to peursuade some of
my friends to start up as i am the only rider in my area.

my friend recently told me he was getting the 2005 nimbus trials
unicycle and i was wondering if it was any good(bearing in mind that is
quite cheap).

if anyone has a expirience in either riding or just knowledge of these
unicycles, please feel free to reply and share your thoughts.

thanks

joe

YES! I've had my Nimbus trials since September when they updated it.
I've had no major problems, its easy to ride, very light for hopping and
its KH seat is soooo comfy. Its great looking too.

The only problem I've had was when I was hopping around too much with
the seat bolts loose and one of them sheared off. This is only my fault
though, not the uni's and I'm sure your friend won't make the same
mistake. Its a great buy as long as your friend isn't planning on
dropping from too high as it isn't splined.

Yeah i've ridden a couple of them, great for getting in to trials but i
had the same hub/cranks on my Muni and within a year tore one end off
the hub even though i never did anything above 2 foot drops, although
that may have been more due to my poor technique and the fact that i
weigh 13 stone. Basicaly it performs fine aslong as you accept that if
you keep going with trials one day you're going to break it and have to
upgrade the hub or get a new uni.

I'm selling my Summit Trials for $300, It is muuuuuuuuuch better than
the Nimbus and has a splined hub and Magura brakes. I'll be posting pics
this afternoon (after I get off work) in a "for sale" thread. This uni
is in perfect condition, as you'll be able to see once I post the pics

Sorry but i've always wanted to ask this, why on earth do you put brakes
on a trials uni? Surely they just make the thing heavier and more
expensive, thus decreasing its suitablity for trials riding? Unless you
use it for Muni aswell of course.

Mine was one of the few Summits that I've seen that came from the
factory with brake mounts. It had the Magura's on it when I purchased
it. The brakes add very little weight.
As for the usefulness of brakes on a trials uni, they come in handy
when mounting the uni on skinnies. They're also quite useful when doing
multiple hops, such as hopping up a flight of stairs.
