Roger,

I see the image is up on the Onza MUNi. Can you give us some specs?
Like:

Overall weight?

Will it take a 3.0 Gazz? If so, with how much side clearance?

Any frame weight?


Thanks

Yes please Roger,

could you tell me if the frame will take a 3.0" Gazz.

If it does, is the tyre clearence bigger than a gnats dangly bits unlike
the Nimbus that fires out stones with alrming speed and precision at any
other rider within range (up to 10m).!!!

Is there any chance of the KH24 being sold by unicycle.uk.com too?

And then there's the Max Traction too. I have no idea where my 200 to
250 quid should go.

A 24" wheel with a 3" Tyre does seem the way people are leaning now
though, so I'm curious about the onza tyre capacity too.

I'll ask again if anyone has experience of getting hold of a KH24 in the
UK, and if they have any idea about customs charges etc.

Sorry for being slow here.... was out last night getting the first
meeting going about the British Unicycle Convertion. It is going to be
so cool... you are all invited, please come.... Hmmmm slightly off topic
there!

http://www.unicycle.uk.com/Shop/onzamuni.htm?id=512
http://www.unicycle.uk.com/Shop/onzatrials.htm?id=164

These are the links to the full spec pages with all the information.

There are also the main differences between the old and new highlighted.
Bascially it is a cool unicycle! I am totally impressed.

The tyre on the 24" is not a 3" but a 2.6". It rides fantastically
though so don't be too disapointed.... it is about half the weight of a
Gaz or Contra tyres. It makes the unicycle feel totally different and
really nice - this is a really light unicycle! It will easily fit a
24"x3" tyre in the frame if that is what you are wanting.

Talking of light... Simon is now testing the new aluminium frame and it
looks like it may be holding up ok.

KH unicycles are about to leave Taiwan to come to the UK. They will be
on sale at the end of October.

I think that was all.... lots of questions! Ahhhh

Speaking of Onza's, when is my trials one going to get here? I ordered
it about a month ago, then recieved an E-Mail saying that they need to
order new ones, then there was a post about it being shipped on the 26th
of August, so that means it should be here by now, so why isn't it?

6.5 kg is 14.32 lbs. Not bad, curious as to the weight of the alluminum
version when it comes out.

Still,this seems like a great MUNi.

Do the cranks have a Q- factor unlike the KH cranks?

I'm in the same boat as you Potter. I ordered mine about 6 weeks ago and
they're still feeding me this "3 more weeks" stuff. I need that
unicycle. My 20" is getting trashed. I hope they don't raise the price
because the uni's are changed. I know that I really don't want to wait 3
months and then have someone tell me that I didn't pay enough.

By the way, if the cranks on the new one are anything like the old
cranks, they'll have about the same siderake as the Profiles.

Oh yeah, siderake is also known as q-factor.

Havn't got a price yet, I won't know until the week before the container
lands. Importing is an odd job, it is very hard to guess what you are
going to charged by the customs etc. especially on a new product. I
will post on the forum as soon as I know.

Sorry no, it should be very competitive though and my guess is about the
same price or may be a little bit cheaper than the Kris Holm unicycle.
I will as John if he can give a reply and a price, my guess is that the
answer will be that he will not give a price until they have landed
because of taxes.
