Well I have not ridden them yet obviously but they look great. The new
hub and cranks look nicer in my opinion than the 2005 and the reduction
in q factor is a good thing from my point of view.
I'm not sure about the drilled rims as I don't know how strong it would
be comparatively speaking but the added width should add stability and
reduce tyre folding.
The double bolt seat post clamp is definately somthing that is long
overdue.
I will leave judgement until I have had a chance to actually ride these
but they look good.
I'm curious about the justification for the change of spline pattern on
the hub however as it means that new cranks will not be compatible with
the older hub. It is good that all the major unicycle manufacturers are
moving towards the ISIS hub as it will allow for interchange of parts
if there are supply difficulties for certain parts but there should
also be an assurance that cranks will still be made for the old hub as
replacing the whole hub if cranks are damaged is expensive but will be
necessary if cranks are not available.
Looking forward to riding them.
