Kris Holm Unicycle vs. Yuni Unicycle
My vote is the KH. I haven't ridden the Yuni set-up, but the Freeride is incredible. I took it on a long rocky, dusty singletrack last summer and was grinning from ear to ear the whole time. The Yuni components look just as strong, except maybe for the frame.....the KH is really great....strong and light (relatively speaking). -- unidaddy 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/cx3jh) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unidaddy's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

I would get the KH considering how light and strong it is, but you may want to consider the Yuni because the if you break the profiles you get free ones, unlike the Kris Holms. I would still get the Kh though. -- Bryan Stevens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Stevens's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11463 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

Would it be a good move to upgrade the tire to the Nokian Gazzaloddi? And is the brake really worth the extra money? -onewheeling -- onewheeling ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onewheeling's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11307 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

I do pretty hard trails without any brakes, it's just REALLy tiring and when I'm done I can barely walk. -- Bryan Stevens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Stevens's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11463 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

I can't coment on the Yuni, but I have a 24"XC Kris Holm, and it is great. I quite fancy getting a brake for the odd times that I ride down really steep, and loose trails. I don't need one most of the time, but it would be good when you need it. -- innes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ innes's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9123 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

Some people like the Gazz more, some people like the Duro more, but there's not much between them. I wouldn't bother with the brake, better to learn without one and then add it later once you know whether you want it and you've learnt basic muni skills like riding down steep hills without the help of a brake.

Kris Holm Unicycle vs. Yuni Unicycle
yea if you get one ot these uni's get the KH for sure. Its light, and strong. Dont get a gazz tire on it or a brake either, id say get a gazz for your next tire to compare them and see witch you like best. Brakes are really not needed. -- musketman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ musketman's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9214 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |

agreeing with musketman here. I have a KH24 (biased?), and it is the sweetness. the gazz/duro tires are more or less the same (duro is a round-profile while the gazz is square), but the price differential is much greater. Also, the kh crankset is in many ways better than the profiles. A brake is something to get after you know you need it. I've read somewhere onthe forums that it's better for your style if you don't have one while you're still getting into it anyhow, so you don't become reliant on a brake. -- flyer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flyer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9894 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/45942 |
