Freestyle Unicycle

hey.

I've been getting into freestyle alot lately and i decided i need an
actual freestyle uni. Right now i am using an onza trials and it is
really hard to do tricks like spins. I need a frame that is good for
stand up tricks. If possible i would want it to be under $200.

I have been looking at this one. And it looks alright.

What size tire does this one have? It gives you the option of 102mm or
127mm cranks. Which one would be better?

If you have any other suggestions/comments please post them.

Thanks.

that should be okay, but I think the seat might be uncomfortable. That
is a really good frame, so even if you later wanted to upgrade the
wheelset, the frame would still be good. 102 versus 127 is a matter of
personal preference. If you are used to using 140s on a trials uni,
then 127's would probably be an easier transition, and seem more general
purpose. You can always get the other length later if the one you get
seems wrong.

Look'at semcycle.com'
(http://store.semcycle.com/product_in...?products_id=4): if you take
all the upgrade-options, then for $ 10.- less you will have chromoly and
heat-threated cranks and hub, plus that excellent rim as on the
Semcycle-Pro, plus the Primo "the wall" tyre, and a Semcycle-seat.

Also what is the difference in the pedal upgrades? Is it worth it to
get everything upgraded? (its $220 with all upgrades i think) *
anyone know? what are all the upgrade verse non upgraded parts?

You can always cut a seatpost shorter (with a hacksaw or a pipe cutter)
but you can't cut it longer. If in doubt go for the longer length.

You can call up Semcycle and ask them questions about upgrades and
options. The phone number is on 'Semcycle.com'
(http://www.semcycle.com/). They do shows and other events so won't
always be at the office every day during the week.

Is the 'fully upgraded semcycle from semcycle.com'
(http://store.semcycle.com/product_in...?products_id=4) not as good
as the 'upgraded one from UDC'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=697)? The one from UDC
is more expensive but maybe it's worth it... anybody know?
