Pros+Cons of Companies
I thought that it would be cool to have a thread explaining what you like and don't like about certain unicycle companies. For example... What do people like in Kris Holm unicycles? Nimbus? Koxx? I think this will really help people who are interested in purchasing new components for their unicycles or even whole unicycles. I'll start: Nimbus Pros: High quality (durable), lightweight, cheap, upgradeable Cons: Some could argue quality, but I find nothing wrong with these unicycles. KH Pros: lightweight, very durable, comfort, upgradeable Cons: Cost -- hungry4uni ŤŔϊãĻş ЦИΪĈҰĆĻέ my sponsor' SixSixOne' (http://www.sixsixone.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hungry4uni's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16147 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74596 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I personally really like KH because: 1. I really like the design of the frame compared to the nimbus and quax. I don't like the point things on them. 2. Lightweight and usable for any type of riding. 3. Feel good!!! -- ktkartch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ktkartch's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17584 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74596 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I think nimbus is going to have a big future with unicycling ( even though its great right now). i feel KH has a better reputation because you know whos behind the products. I really do like the nimbus unis though, they're not terrible at all i think that they're just a little behind the curve thats all ( but they're catching up  )-- Jkohse www.justinkohse.com www.municycle.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jkohse's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14634 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74596 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I'm not 100% sure of the story, but I believe the Nimbus name comes from Roger Davies, and he uses it on many of the products he's designed for UDC. Others bear the UDC name. Company: Schwinn Pros: Classic unicycles, awesome giraffe unicycle from 1977-83 excellent name-recognition among new riders who grew up with the Schwinn brand Cons: No more giraffes, design is very outdated Company: Miyata Pros: Excellent Freestyle unicycles Cons: Difficult/expensive to get in the US, company only seems interested in the Freestyle/general riding market Company: Coker Pros: Invented the Coker (which means "created" the 36" unicycle market)! Cons: New Cokers can't be all things to all people, but fill some niches just fine -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "False facts are frequently formed from figures fabricated from fear fired fiction." -- Harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74596 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
