Nimbus MUni 24"
http://tinyurl.com/wb3w Want to go off-road, then this is the machine for you! The specification is set up for entry level Muni riding. Specification includes: Nimbus II frame fitted on a 36 spoke DX32 rim with 14 gauge stainless steel spokes and 152mm cranks. The tyre is a Duro Wildlife Leopard 24x3.0. It also comes with the Kris Holm saddle and our new anti-twist seat post. Note; due to the hub style * this unicycle is not suitable for serious jumping* At what height does a risible jump become serious? I mean uh, would I break this thing jumpin off ledges? I weigh in at 64kg. -- pete66 - Verging on Level 3 Unicyclist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pete66's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4812 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29198 |

Nimbus MUni 24"
i dont have this uni so i dont know for sure, but my muni has a square tapered hub too and basically it just means that it is not as strong as a splined hub. honestly, dont do anything bigger that 4 feet onto concrete ever and dont do anything more than 3 with any frequency. hope this helps. i think the warning is just to stop e-mails complaining that the cranks broke off during an 8 foot drop! -- muniracer - Hell On Wheel The Hell on Wheel Unicycle Gang owns you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muniracer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4339 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29198 |

Is this hub not likely to be considerably stronger than traditional square tapered hubs (like muniracer's)? -- duaner - - duaner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duaner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4297 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29198 |

And it's that older Nimbus hub that probably comes with that Nimbus too. -- joona - )-O --Neat Mad as a moose (or atleast Minimoose) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joona's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4436 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29198 |

Pete - Muniracer is right on the money with his comments. The hub is not splined so you can't do big drops on it and expect it to survive very long. The Nimbus MUni 24" on www.unicycle.co.nz is indeed the same as the UK's Nimbus 24-inch MUni. The hub has been redesigned and hardened to a hardness similar to that of the Suzue hub.

More info at 'www.unicycle.co.nz' (http://www.unicycle.co.nz) 'My Photo Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albur10) has new photos and has been generally re-arranged and spruced up. 9/9/03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TonyMelton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/2118 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29198 |

The Susue at it's hardest is 440 vickers while the new hub is about 580 vickers and because it is made from CrMO it is also considerably tougher. To answer how strong it is and whether it will take big drops. Well in my opinion and from what I have seen so far you will not break the hub. But you will bend cranks if you do persistant big drops or jumps. A lot of this depends on how you jump, I do regular 12" hops and also 3' drop offs on a standard susue hub and with "super soft" aluminium cranks that I had to stop selling because we had so many back! and they have not broken in 4 years. But I have see a 60lb kid do 4" drop off and bend Bicycle Euro Steel cranks. Technique has a lot to do with it.
