Hi,

A friend and I just bought two 24" wheeled SemCycle Pros, but they have
yet to arrive. We previously had 24" wheels on some cheap Taiwanese
uni's that disintegrated into nothing after some hard riding/learning.

The main problem with the old uni's were that they used cotterpins and
that the axles and wheels were too weak. I buckled my wheel beyond all
recognition by hopping on the peddles, and both my friend and I have both
broken the axles. We are looking forward to receiving our new SemCycles,
but forgot to find out if they used cotterpins which we were forever
tightening on the old unis.

Can anyone tell me how durable the SemCycles will be compared to the
Taiwanese models? I am quite heavy at about 87 kg and I like to do stuff
like jump gutters and bounce etc on the uni, something my old uni could
not take.

Cheers,
Steve.
