Default The New Uni Plan


I doubt this will work, but its my current plan.

Currently, I have a 24" Torker LX.

First: I plan to get a nice MUni frame with break mounting gear and hook
it up to my Torker tire and saddle

Second: Get some Magura HS-33s off eBay. I will probably have to buy in
a pair, but too bad; I don't care. I'll hook that up to my new frame

Third: Get a MUni splined full wheelset. A big fatty tire.

Fourth: Get a new saddle for the MUni. Now I have one uber cool
unicycle, and a torker to loan to friends that wnat to try.

So, the question for you uni-geniusses. Will it work? And: What frame
should I look at?

A lot of logo competitions to win till I could get this done. Lol, 14
year olds dont get much of an income.

PS: When I say will it work, I mean will everything be compatible with
all the new gear?

yea it will work but why not just get a new uni from the start? yer
prety much doing that but it might cost even more than just buying a
full uni.

why do you want a new frame first?
a wheelset is the integral part of the unicycle
i'd do it the ALMOST opposite direction, except a KH wheelset won't fit
nicely into a torker frame
i think the torker frame is fine for strength, but the rim/axle/cranks
suck, so i'd get a new wheel first
in fact
i'd save up for the whole KH muni (like i did after killing my torker
lx)
i split the price w/ my parents for a b-day present (i'm 14, i could've
afforded the whole thing and more, but wanted to save money) that
approach might work for you if you have a b-day in the next 3-5 months,
just ask for an "early b-day" present

yea but a KH is 520 so $100 less= 420 the hub and frame and rim and tire
must = more than 420$

Frame: $210
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=662

Wheelset: $259
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=665

Seatpost: $22
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=667

Saddle: $54
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=627

Pedals:
About $10

Brakes:
eBays prices will vary insanely. Theres a $30 knex set up there right
now i might because its only at a penny. I don't think anyone has seen
it, lol.

Anyway, MUni NO BREAKS will cost about $555. Im looking at the KH 05
Freeride for $520, but I don't see a way of adding breaks. Sooo, is
that right? And is all this planning right? Will this be better than
the 05 freeride? Am I forgetting any parts?
