I loved mine, the only problem would have been the frame, although they
have upgraded that now or something..

The cranks held up ok to small stuff but anything over 5 feet or so i
diffinately dont recomend, it will only cost you more in the long run.

At $284 plus shipping, just get a DX for $250.
The cranks and hub are nowhere near as strong as the DX's.
The frame is stronger, but with that price difference you could jus buy
a nimbus 2 frame and sell the DX frame.

Its fine for small trials stuff but as soon as you start getting bigger
better and more technical you'll need splined hub and cranks and for
that you'll need a KH, Koxx or Qu-Ax if you can save your money and get
one of these it'll save you money in the long run.

You could get the nimbus, then when the cranks go bad, buy KH moments.

Then youd have a strong uni, for a decent price.

It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards

Yep, nimbus frames do not use machined bearing holders, this allows for
the 42mm bearings from Koxx and KH to fit into the 40mm frame.

I even made pop shims, really thick ones, and put them on my bearings
to make sure the frame would hold the bigger size, and it worked
perfectly.
