a trials unicycle is generally better for freestyle than a freestyle
unicycle is for trials.

I think a trials unicycle is just as bad for freestyle as a freestyle
unicycle is for trials. The main difference is that a freestyle
unicycle will break if you do much trials on it, whereas a trials
unicycle can handle freestyle easily.

If you seriously enjoy freestyle, getting a freestyle unicycle is
probably a good idea.

that is true. but the point is that you can do more freestyle on a
trials unicycle than you can do trials on a freestyle unicycle, even
though a freestyle unicycle is obviously better than a trials unicycle
for freestyle.

I bought the 20" Nimbus X last fall and have nothing but good things to
say about it. I got it because I wanted to do more freestyle, and it
certainly has been much nicer than the trials uni I was using before.
As far as trials, I've been able to do a lot more than you would think
by reading this forum. I switched my pinned pedals onto the X and
fitted a slightly wider, more aggressive tire. If you have decent
landing technique, you'd be amazed at the abuse you can dish out. I
don't go huge, but I've done my fair share of 3-4' drops (with rollout)
on the stock wheelset without problems. I won't say there aren't any
signs of wear, but far less than the "one 3' drop and the cranks will
snap" stories I've read on here. Hope this helps.

Andrew
