Default Frame" to change or not to change


When i said there was a problem with my Qu-ax 24, where one fork is
longer than the other, it is a problem it was made with, and now i can
either send it back, or have a tilt in the wheel, which will not do
anything to affect the uni at all except if a bit of dirt gets stuck
in, it would have a little less space than the other side, but i don't
wan't to have to miss out unicycling any longer than i have to
so here is the question:

1. Should i send it back, and get a "better" one

2.Or keep my old one, with a harmless fault,

bear in mind i did pay $515, and for that price i would expect it to be
perfect, but are slight differences in forks a common thing, in
manufacturing?

I don't think is possible to buy a Qu-Ax for $515, where did you buy it
from, New Zealand? Sorry if i burst your bubble but you got riped.

If one frame leg is only a tiny bit shorter than the other, try makeing
a shim out of a pop can. Cut a little stip of metal and put it in the
top of the bearing holder that is on the short side to straighten
things out.

Bush mechanics.

Get out there and ride your new uni.

Cheers Dave
