Geared Unicycle Hub

Most impressive. It would be nice to see how the pricing turns out.

I wonder if the hub can be ripped out and stashed in my KH24...
I wonder if that hub handles MUni stresses?

This is awesome! I've been checking the site the whole summer and even
checked it a couple days ago. I'm hoping to buy one if they are cheap
enough.

What do you guys think of that on the fly shifting? I think it's a good
idea.

I think -when- they add a hand-shiftable system it will be fantastic.
Shifting with the heels as they've currently got it set would be very
tricky. A friend of mine (who gave them the idea for this unicycle
application of their hub and cranks) has emailed them suggesting they
make them available with the flanges more widely spaced. At the moment
they're very narrow things which would not go down well on larger
wheels.

Scratch that, it would appear what you can now see on the site is the
result of that email. 🙂

Looks like they used the same scalloped hub flange shape that Steve
Howard used for his KH like hub. I've always wanted a hub that looked
like a flower 😄.

Really, I can't wait for these to come out. I don't think I'd be
getting one (at least for a while) but it's always cool to see new
innovations in a field I am interested in.

Hmmm... very well.... interesting. I am not quite sure about the heel
shifting thing. I recently was reading up about the self shifting bike
gers that change when a certain amout of pressure is applied from going
uphill or downhill. I thought that was veryclever. I am not sure if this
is basically the same Idea, if it is I knew it would happen if it isn't
then awesome.

I wonder what Steve Howard or Harper's expert opinion is of these hubs
since they have built them. Any thoughts?

I've always considered shift-on-the-fly to be dicey but have never tried
it. Even without, getting off and shifting would be much easier than my
approach to it.

I have found overseas production to be practically impossible so far and
am looking into domestic hub manufacture now. That would jack the price
alot. Schlumph offers an entire unicycle and it will be interesting to
find out how many Euros it takes to buy one. I would also like to know
the backlash of his gear-shifting system as measured at the end of a
150mm crank.

A 20" wheel would be a novelty item. Wheels larger than 24" become
interesting at 1.5 overdrive.
