Are unicyles hard to ride? Not if you take the time to learn how:p What kind of riding do you want to do? -- hobo_chuck __i_wear_a_skateboard_helmet_over_a_bike_helmet_ -~catinabag1- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hobo_chuck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14113 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75055 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

[image: http://photosnag.com/img/1789/y08m1110mhmd/2.gif] Torker LX 20" all the way. yeah there are those that will say you're tall so a 24 is better... I had a 24" for 2 years and couldn't do anything on it. Got my 20" 2 weeks ago... put in 6-7 hours of practice and i can go about 100m in between falls. And i can *now* ride the 24 just as well. I'm 6'1 as well. For about 200 you could get a torker lx 24", and the 20" cx wheelset from unicycle.com , and in effect have a 20" *AND* a 24. That's what i did, and it's Good Stuff. -- McNerdius ------------------------------------------------------------------------ McNerdius's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17973 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75055 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Haven't owned one, but apparently they SUCK, and considering they're only a tad cheaper than the lx, which is EXCELLENT, it is just totally not worth it. -- McNerdius ------------------------------------------------------------------------ McNerdius's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17973 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75055 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Just make sure you get the Torker Lx, and not the much crappier cx model. A 20 is easier to free mount, idle, or ride backwards, when you first learn. Yet the 24 is smoother and much more pleasant for touring around the neighborhood as a beginner. So they are both good choices. I would suggest buying an lx 20 now, and a 24 or 26 " muni later, if you really like riding around a lot. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75055 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
