Surly Frame MUni at UDC
I'm really not seeing where the money is going on this unicycle. I mean for that price the thing better have a motor to get you up the hills! -- gordito8me 29er or 36er? can't decide either way I have like 54 bucks so nothing too great. radial 360 or nimbus 29er???? helllpppp!!!! helllpppp!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gordito8me's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13641 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58209 |

mornish wrote: wtf? they are selling a great muni, but are ruining it, because it doesn't have a good distance seat (imo), doesn't have the good rim which is the only reason the frame exists in the first place, and is overpriced because they got a wheelbuild from that kovachi guy. btw I really like the seat for distance. I don't know about you guys but slap on a pair of bike shorts and that thing is really nice. -- gordito8me 29er or 36er? can't decide either way I have like 54 bucks so nothing too great. radial 360 or nimbus 29er???? helllpppp!!!! helllpppp!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gordito8me's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13641 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58209 |

Another huge rip-off is their Magura breaks: At the trialsinshop.ca, I got a front set (short enough that I did have to cut it and rebleed it) was $140 CAD, not a whopping $179US -- Danni leo wrote: Without cocks you wouldn't even have a family forum.

well you choose, you just leave your seat preference in that little comment box when ordering. so you can get either the street or muni seat. -- zfreak220 iridemymuni wrote: i think everybody agrees when i say you lucky son of a bitch howdigetsogood wrote: man i used to think scooters were totally lame, but after that 'video' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=57071), oh wait nevermind i still do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zfreak220's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11948 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58209 |

Also, notice that it DOES come with the Large Marge rim (I went to UDC today and looked at it). As zfreak220 said, you can chose the freeride if you want it. It has a Profile Hub/Crankset. So if you add it up, you have a near $300 frame, a $300 hub/crankset PROFESSIONALLY (not machine built) built by one of the best and most trusted wheel builders in the industry to a not so cheap rim. Another thing is they aren't ordering these in bulk because they are so expensive, raising their cost on the item. So Danni, if you don't like it, don't buy it. But don't come on here bashing UDC because you think they are ripping folks off before adding up the costs they themselves are having to buy the parts for and the labor involved with ordering specific parts and putting it all together. I mean, cmon dude, they have the best customer service most people have ever experienced. They aren't in business to rip anyone off, they are there to spread unicycling. *Steps off soap box* Eitherway, that uni is freakin' awesome. If anyone is looking for a freeride MUni....here it is. -- uniredneck "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house." - Proverbs 21:9 "I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise.

Another thing is they aren't ordering these in bulk because they are so expensive, raising their cost on the item. Except it doesn't come with a Large Marge rim if you read the text, which is what everyone is moaning about. It comes with a narrower rim, with a pointless wide frame setup, which is probably significantly heavier, with a heavy old technology hub (unless you get the version with the newer KH Moment hub, it says Kh Moment hub when it's available which I guess is now) It's made by surly, so I guess it has pimp points, but other than that, you're just not getting such a well thought out package as the KH setup.

Gee, I wouldn't have expected one of the best and most trusted wheel builders in the industry to *completely mis-lace one of my spokes*. (Didn't cross it over at all). I don't see how it's even possible to send out a wheel like that unless the spoke tension was never tested. The wheel is probably better than machine-built, but that's not saying much. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58209 |

About the rim, I'm telling you, The text is wrong for the current setup. It happens sometimes that an item is listed wrong, but it is currently built with the Surly rim. I'll ask them if they are going to build the future Surly's with a KH rim though. I'm sorry you had an issue with your wheel tholub, but you have to keep in mind John Kovoachi builds wheels not only for UDC but for many shops in the Southeast not to mention custom orders from elsewhere on his website. He is human and made a mistake it seems. Even Lance's mechanic strips a bolt here and there. -- uniredneck "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house." - Proverbs 21:9 "I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise.

He is human and made a mistake it seems. Even Lance's mechanic strips a bolt here and there. I understand making a mistake. I've mis-laced a wheel before. In fact, I've made the same lacing error before, failing to cross over a spoke. What I don't understand is how a serious wheelbuilder can fail to catch that error while tensioning the wheel. A spoke that's not crossed over behaves totally differently than a spoke that is, both in terms of its tone and tension and in terms of its affect on wheel trueness. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58209 |

I donno man, I'm sorry that it happened. Maybe it was the end of the day or something and he was tired.
