TORKER DX-reliable?

my unicycle is goin to break any day now....

and i was thinkin about getting the torker DX...

is this a good cycle to get?

ive heard its a little heavy, and im not even that good at jumpin on
the light uni i have now

it looks strong, which is good. im getting into street riding

are the cranks a good size for a street rider?

There used to be an issue with the frames breaking, but that has been
resolved. Everything on it is really beefy, you would have a lot of
trouble breaking it. I don't think the weight is a very big issue, I
don't notice much of a difference when I go from my DX to a KH. And
the cranks are the -perfect- length for street riding. This unicycle
is well worth the money.

well, the one on ebay is a 2006.

does that mean it still has an issue with the frame?
or was that a while ago...

if you get the 06 dx the frame will break. no matter what you do or
dont do it will break sooner or later.

its only 25 bucks to replace it with a nimbus frame so i wouldnt be
worried, ive taken mine off huge jumps, and it is fine, i just need to
make it lower to try crankflips on it. Great uni.

Heavy though. You get used to it.
You jump just as high as other though(i think).

Well, it depends of your budget, if you really really want a Torker DX,
go for it, but I have have a lot of money to put in, I recommend KH

get it, even if you break the frame, it is warranteed for life, so
nothing to worry about.

just-so-you know, i have broken EVERYTHING (cept the cranks) on it. I
even messed up the hub, which only myself and cody have ever done as
far as I know.

but seriously, i treat my uni like crap, and i ride the thing all the
time, and I do big stuff (i.e. 11 sets and drops up to 10') the seat,
seatpost, and crankset are about as strong as anything stock gets. the
06 frame is breakable, but I would say 1/20-30 have broken ... that
said, i could break any of them, but my 07 frame is unbroken (so far,
it may be breaking now, but im not sure.)
