U-Decide (unicycle decision)

Will the nimbus titan work with the Wide ISIS (you know how the round
crown trials work.......)

Does it come with an extra wise hub? If it does it will.

Even if it doesn't, which I'm almost positive it does, you could
probably bend the frame.

I would strongly advise against going with the Nimbus Nightrider frame.
It is A. Made rather cheaply. I had to return two before I got one
that was even close to symmetrical, even though it still was clearly
not.
B. It is a relatively flimsy frame, so it bends from the torque of a
big wheel. So much so that it made it more difficult to use a brake.

If you can, go with the KH frame. If that is out of your price range, I
would maybe go for the Titan (Though I don't know anything about the
rigidity of this frame).

the face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the
face.

if you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, i bet
it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading
a magazine.

Personally I think the only good 36'er is a 36'er with a custom frame
and handle. I'm perfectly happy with my Nimbus frame and airfoil wheel
build but my 36 is pretty outdated now. I don't use a brake because I
don't see a reason to even on my super hilly rides I originally bought a
brake for my 36'er and ended up taking it off. The only way to get rid
of the majority of the flex in any frame would be to build your own,
it's the nature of forces in unicycling that causes them to flex. I'd go
with a nimbus frame, nightrider wheelset, TA tire(nightrider tire has a
thin sidewall) unless you'll be doing a lot of heavy stuff I don't see a
reason to go ISIS so I'd get a cotterless supewide hub, 14gauge spokes,
and 114mm cranks with the pedals that come standard on most 36'ers.

I want to go ISIS. I like compatibility! I like the titan look better
too. I think I will go with a TA, because its a hellof alot cheaper.
I'm getting no seat or post, but will get the SS spokes.

I think I'll go titan. (think steel big one.) Thanks for the heads up!
Would you suggest 114 or 125's? Also, Nightrider or TA?
