New Upgrades - Nimbus Stealth Pro Rim + 14g SS Spokes
I just placed the order on Tuesday and the wheelbuild arrived Friday! Wow, A+ shipping, Unicycle.com  . I actually didn't know the rim waswhite...I thought it was chrome, but white is even better! Here's my coker: [image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...00resized.jpg] [image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...01resized.jpg] [image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...02resized.jpg] [image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...03resized.jpg] [image: http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...04resized.jpg] - Radial Frame - UDC Super-Wide Hub - Qu-Ax Alloy Cranks - 125mm - T7 Handle - KH Seatpost - Primo Clamp - Jim C Pedals - Wheel TA Tire - Nimbus Stealth Pro Rim - 14g SS Spokes (36) I just took it for it's first test spin - The weight difference makes a -huge- impact on the way it handles. Not only is it somewhat nicer to lug around, it's also much more maneuverable. This should be nice to ride the LBI Unithon with. I know, the Jim C's are a bit bulky. I'm planning to pick up some twisted Odysseys soon. -- Chexjc aim: guitardude88 http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jasoncheckla 'SixSixOne' (http://sixsixone.com/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chexjc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13511 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70008 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

New Upgrades - Nimbus Stealth Pro Rim + 14g SS Spokes
Grrr... UDCUK haven't had any spokes for ages. But if my wheel ever turns up it'll be just like yours! (except I'm having a normal width ISIS hub). Very jealous.

Rob  I would've ordered mine in early april, but UDC (US) was out of thespokes until the 30th - so I was in a similar boat. ISIS hub, huh? I wish I had the cash to have sprung for that haha.

It's about the same price as the square-taper hubs... are you thinking of a Schlumpf geared hub? I've got an extra-wide hub on my current steel coker wheel, but decided to go for ISIS this time (seems like the way unicycle cranks are going, and gives me the possibility of using the KH dual-holed cranks, although I'm not using those yet), which means no option of an extra-wide hub. In theory the standard-width hub will make the wheel a bit weaker, but I know loads of people using standard hubs with no problems, even cross-country, so I've decided to risk it (the new rim and spokes are better anyway so hopefully will make up for the narrower hub). Hopefully Roger will get some spokes soon (he was expecting them a couple of weeks ago I think)...

Perhaps it's a cock-up on the UDCUS site? Daytripper63 wrote: I wonder if they are going to make that rim in black They already do. There's a choice of black or white.

Haven't had time to put it on the unicycle yet, but here are a couple of pics of the wheel FWIW. It's certainly noticably lighter than my old wheel. I'll weigh them when I'm doing the swap and see what the actual difference is. I'm guessing about 400-500g (the spokes alone save 200 I think).
