Nimbus II hold my weight...

hey, im about 55Kgs and i was wondering, would the nimbus II 20" be able
to hold my weight on drops when i get into it? would i need to get a
trials uni instead or would the nimbus be fine for trials?

thats a freestyle unicycle, not meant for drops at all. you should get
a trials unicycle instead.

Depends on the height of the drop. I would say you would be perfectly
fine on things like curbs, maybe even riding (not hopping) down stairs.

hi,
you would be much better off gettin a trials unicycle.
although they are a bit more expensive its worth it because they will
not break as easily. the fat tyre cussions some of the impact. i weigh
about 50 kgs and a non-splined trials unicycle for me is good for up to
about 2-3 feet drops.

if you want to go furthur than that then you should look at getting a
splined unicycle like the koxx or kh.

If you are going to put a 2.5" wheel in it, why not just get the Nimbus
Trials unicycle
http://tinyurl.com/dn6w9 it is only $30 AU more which is cheaper than
buying a second wheel.

The Nimbus Trials is ok for beginners trials but has a cotterless hub
so won't be as strong as a splined unicycle but splined unicycles cost
at least $200 AU more
