I’m a cyclist and wanted to try something different. Here goes nothing!

New unicyclist, longtime bicyclist. Most of the descriptions for seat height I’ve seen allude to references to belly button and vague references of “almost straight legs,” but I’m relatively tall (6’1ish) but have shorter legs. While learning, I’ve found it seems to tire me more on longer distances than perhaps it should, how many inches between crotch and seat should I have if legs are fully extended and standing at 9 and 3? I’m male and my inseam is 32”, on a 20” Sun Extreme.

I've been riding a unicycle on and off for probably about 10 years now. I can free mount and idle, but never really put much time into learning anything else. I want to get better at it, any suggestions for first tricks I should try? Any advice/tips would also be massively appreciated. (Sorry, if this kind of thing has been asked a lot before). Thanks!

Are mountain bike and unicycle rims fundamentally different in any way? I don't imagine the stresses are terribly different in magnitude or direction; as long as I match my spoke count I should be fine with just about anything, right? Thinking of building up a 27.5 or 29 soon. I just don't want to spend money on a dt swiss rim and blow it up.

I'm just curious as I don't love hot temps so most of the outdoors stuff I do is in the winter. Its more convenient that way also less people out hiking on the trails, no mosquitos to bite and bother me, I don't have to worry about snakes its great. I would like to add winter MUni ing to my list of pass times. Any pointer?

Hey guys.

I want to try unicycling. I was wondering if any bikeshop or specific shop for unicycling exist?

Any shop selling unicycle in orlando,FL?

Or

Any website you recommend?

Thank you.

I've wanted to do something like this for years and impulsively planned a two-days trip this week. Had to shorten it to only one day because the pain i felt this morning waking up in my tent was just too much to bear and I couldn't even mount oops

I made lots of mistakes, like thinking google maps wouldn't make me go through steep muddy hiking paths in the woods, bringing a speaker that I didn't use once (I had my headphones), and thinking I'd be able to ride 60km in two days with no training and not being an athletic person in general. Lessons learned!

Can't wait to be able to sit without pain again so I can go back and finish what I've started >:)

I’m looking at buying my first unicycle to learn on. Not completely sure where to start and if it matters I’m just under 230lbs. I’ve seen some that have limits of 200. Any would be welcomed.

I made a post a while back reaching out to look for industry standards. I've just about finished a draft design for a freecoaster hub shell designed around a sprag clutch, and I'm due to start working on the drive layout.

I'm making this post in the hopes that people know where, or can direct me to people who know where I can get driveshafts for my project. I'm looking to handle maybe 200nm of torque or 300 to be safe, and have a travel of around 140mm

I'm in northern Wisconsin we have lots of snow in are winter is there a way or a place for me to go to continue practicing with my unicycle rather than having to stop till spring

So a decade ago I bought a new Torker CX Unistar Unicycle (24") to learn how to ride, off Amazon. After not getting very far (and life getting in the way), the unicycle went in the garage....

Fast forward to now.

Last weekend, I picked up a LeRun, a skatebike that is single wheeled, but has a skateboard truck in the front. I got it for $25 at a flea market. The truck bearings were REALLY bad, so today I made a special trip to a skateboard store an hour away from me as I know nothing about skateboards stuff.

He got my LeRun running, but offered to sell me a unicycle as I mentioned I dabbled in that in my past. He sold it to me for $20. I wasn't gonna say no when I saw it. It says inside the fork Koxx One Unicycles with Black Diamond on the other side.

I really don't know what I have.

I want to get back on the ball of learning how to unicycle. So any advice would be helpful.

I don't know if this the right size for me (5' 7", 30" inseam). Tire says "Bike Trial" 20 x 2.5.

The unicycle looks near new, but the pedals can pull away from the tire 1/4-1/2" by eye. Not sure if this is normal for a unicycle as my Torker is rigid, and I know I can't compare unicycles to my bicycle knowledge to a degree (I am a touring bagger). I still have my Torker, so if this new one isn't very good for me, I can still get on a wheel.

I’ve looked nearly everywhere and in all of the best places for how Colorados legally defines a unicycle and if it is also defined as a vehicle.

I’m looking forward to riding at night but I don’t know if I need to attach lights/reflectors to my unicycle lol.

Hello, I'm a journalist writing a piece for The Observer Magazine (part of The Guardian) about people who commute to work on a unicycle. I wondered if anyone here does this? If so, I'd love to chat - feel free to drop me a line and I can explain more: isabellearonfreelance@gmail.com

I am putting together a custom Trials Unicycle.

Purple is my favorite color, so part of it is that.

Having issues finding 19 in. x 35mm rim tape in purple. My rim has large cutouts in it to save weight, so whatever I use needs to be mildly substantial.

Are there any alternative materials I can make rim tape out of, seeing as purple rim tape is not for sale anywhere?

embarking on the horrible path of building something from the very bottom, because I'm trying to incorporate suspension (not just the seat, the pedals too).

I'll most likely be designing a hub in addition to the frame, and I couldn't find any comprehensive resources on the standards used. I'm aware ISIS has become the standard for axles, but what width accommodates the 125mm standard spacing best? what is the standard for width and OD on bearings? what's the offset standard for brake mounts and rotors? how are the forks constrained on more complicated unis? I have very little idea of what I'm doing

Also if anyone has a better idea than a splined telescoping driveshaft for how to allow the pedals vertical movement LMK, I'm also considering a two-chain half-scissor-lift-type thing (so the chain length remains constant), but I don't like the space it takes or the backlash. aspiring to like 100+ mm of travel

Seeing as I will be 18 tomorrow I have realized the Halloween is kind of boring when no one shows up for candy and you aren’t allowed to go trick or treating anymore. Therefore I propose “Operation Ghost Riders.” We all dress up and grab our unicycles, but instead of trick or treating or waiting for people to knock or ring, we go out with a bag of candy door to door giving out candy

This unicycle is for sale near me and I am interested but I can't figure out which model it is. Does anyone know what it might be? Thanks!
