And yes...ANDOTHER Torker thread

[dye3]

I know theres lots but nothing asking this.

I'v been wanting to buy a Torker DX 20" but are they really THAT
heavy?
And why do ppl say: Torker 20\"?!?

Is it like theres somthing wrong with the 20" DX?

AND

Howmuch did some of you already pay for US > Canada border fees?

Thanks alot

Alex

because its not really that bad if you have a heavy muni, ie 24", but
trials you need a light uni.. but it really isnt that bad.. the extra
pound or so really doesnt effect hooping all that much.. i have a 20"
and its awesome

There is nothing wrong with a 20". People just refer to one or the other
at a time, some people have said they are both heavy.


No they are not THATheavy. Unless you are a weight weanie trying to
make your uni perfect....

I havea 20" dx 2006 model. If i remember correctly it wieghts 1.6 pounds
more than a qu-ax. (my friend has a qu-ax). The Dx is a great uni and
the weight difference doestn really matter

I think it is about 14-15 pounds of uni. It really doesnt make a
difference, just ride it for 5mins and youll be used to it.

Ive had mine for about 4ish months, its been holding up great, Ive broke
a peice of my pedal off, cause the pedals on them arnt too great, but
cheaply replacable, and I havent even needed to replace mine yet, cause
they are still good, and Ive had a few loose spokes, but thats only
from doing 5-foot+ drops, and re-tightening them fixes that little
problem.

Look in my gallery to see a few pictures of me riding my DX =p

[manon1wheel]

i trampoline unicycle all the time... but its tso much easier if you
know how to suicide mount.

anyway...
my torker dx died about 3 weeks ago... i think i was just unluckey...
and got a defected frame. i broke my pedal OFF and im gonna have to buy
a new set. but i guess the unicycle isnt meant for the HARDCORE stuff i
ride(sarcasm)

but i think its a great uni. in my opinion the weight helps. it makes
you stronger. the uni isnt gonna last forever but once it dies your
gonna be a great hopper on an heavy uni. once you get your
new(hopefully lighter uni) youll be a beast.

hope that helps

Riley-get the dx

Hey dye3, I just recently got the Torker DX 20" trials uni and the thing
itself has held up well, although my seat did break within the first
month, but it was a manufacturing defect (something you have to watch
out for because it is nearly impossible to get ahold of Torker or SBS,
wherever you're buying it from). If you're planning on coming out to
the ottawa ride this Saturday, I'd be happy to let you try mine, and
see if you like it. Like people say, its a heavy uni, but its really
strong and pretty good quality other than the occasional build hiccup.
In any case, hope to see you out riding on Saturday.
-Nick

I've bought 2 of the DXs. A 2004 and a 2006. You can't get a splined
crank uni for less. As stated previously in this thread the pedals are
pretty cheap but the rest of the uni is of very good quality. I've
seen a few threads talking about the seat post tube snapping off on
them so this may be a weak point but I've had no troubles with mine.
