    My

    I like it! Good to see people keeping their bikes simple silver and black for once! Too many people go out and buy tons of colored Deng products, making their bikes look more comical than cool! Colored cranks= ewww
  3. I wish i went now . Southampton... just didn't quite cut it to be honest..
  4. Yet another fancy design from Onza... looks alright. On another note.... Is the Slinger frame actually coming out or not?!
  5. sidehopping to your forward foot direction is slightly worse only in the fact that if you dont quite make it, there's no pedal to catch you, so you fall backwards. Other than that, sidehopping to your forward foot is just as good as to your backfoot direction. Heck, sidehopping to your forward pedal has more potential of going higher than to the backpedal, because you can use it as a side-hook.
  6. Since the Echo Hifi headtube was compared to the XTP headtube, and they kinda said that the Echo headtube was stronger... does this also kinda mean that Deng is kinda also saying that his own Czar headtubes are weaker than his Echo Hifi/Team headtubes? Unless the Czar headtubes are drastically different to the XTP headtubes for some odd reason, even though they look the same? mmm, speaking of XTPs, I might be getting a Koxx XTP... unicycle CNC'd frame soon, from my good friend Yoggi!

    adamtrials, Profile unicycle hubs are only commonly used in USA/Canada and a few in Australia and New Zealand. In the UK, no one really uses them because they're so terribly outdated by the newer uni hubs like the Koxx Isis hub and Kris Holm-Onza 36-spline hub. Profile's way too overrated on unicycles and I've bent the cranks on them myself within a week (no joke, pictures are up somewhere on this forum!). Kris Holm (Martyn ashton/maradona of unicycling) has destoyed 20 (yes twenty!) Profile hubs in his time doing trials and mountain unicycling to give you an idea of how 'good' they are . Everyone in the UK uses KrisHolm-Onza hubs and cranksets or Koxx Isis because they're so much better than Profile, and Profile unicycle stuff is almost impossible to get in the UK unless you special order like a twat with no idea of what he's doing! Profile bike hubs are better in the fact that Profile Racing look down on unicycling and their own Unicycle Hub as an 'ugly step-son', they don't care much about it and therefore haven't changed the shitty design since it was brought out a decade or so ago.

    Or bring out a real green hub, that matches Pythons?
  9. Mat, its spelt Kris . Anyway, we all know that KH rims are the best mod rims out there. But they have been out of stock at unicycle.com for a while, possibly due to Sponge introducing it into the biketrials world . Anyway, they're about 42mm wide, so thats wider than a Ronnie I think, and KH rims are MUCH stronger than other rims, including the DX32. The KH rim is the only mod rim I haven't been able to mangle. And hey its the cheapest one at £22. Go get one off www.municycle.com its the German unicycle.com, but they do very good deliveries and services to the UK, so don't be daunted by the fact its based in Germany! I guess I need to test out ONE more rim... the Arrow Racing 19" rim, damn, delivery from USA me thinks Oh and Dan, municycle.com is VERY good as well, its got fast and not to expensive delivery, just check it out for yourself. A mate of mine got his KH rim from municycle.com Germany, in about 2 days after he ordered it. I suppose I'd better name the KH rim 'Gillette' seeing as its the best a man can get . Oh my jokes are shit arent they
  10. Something's gotta explain the serious price difference between the two frames! Isn't the current 221Pr heavily based around last years 221ti?
  11. Looks good so far, I can't wait for it. I might come earlier around 10ish to see if people still need help building stuff. Might bring some stuff for sale, Monty 2.7 or Tryall black 36H 19" rim anyone? I'll be on the green trials unicycle, trying most of the stupid stuff See you all there. (as long as Sponge doesn't screw up directions!)
  12. I'm coming with Sponge in the car, might bring some stuff up for sale, like mod wheel parts-wise, like a brand new Koxx 19" black rim 36H, and a new Monty 2.7 rear tyre, if anyone wants em. See you all there but still not sure exactly where this place we're riding is
  13. As Joe Elding said.. Kris Holm rim. to be honest, the KH rim is the strongest out there. I'm currently British Unicycle Trials Champion 2006, and I've broken ALOT of rims in my time. Destroyed Koxx rims, Onza rims, and even flatspotted a DX32 very horribly. But the KH rim is holding up and has been for longer than any rim I have ever used. It's also the cheapest and lightest too. We weighed one up against a Koxx rim and it was lighter regardless of being undrilled and eyeletted. Since its a unicycle trials 19" rim its gonna be ultra strong. its 36hole so its an ideal accompaniment with a Profile hub. We unicycle trials riders have managed to convince Joe Elding that its the best. You better believe it too
  14. I feel like a bit of London myself. count me in.
  15. I'd love it if you could sell that Python to me!
