  1. I’ve just fitted some Prowheel 102 mm cranks to my 20” because 1. I kept
    whacking my ankles on the cranks and 2. I kept hitting the peddles on
    the floor with tight turns.

    I’m hoping that because these are shorter than my last cranks (110mm)
    and with the Q factor of these they’ll help. Unfortunately the hockey we
    played at the Scarborough unicycle and circus convention yesterday was
    on sandy astro turf which you cannot make tight turns on, well if you
    want to stay on that is, so I couldn't try them out much.

    As for wheel wobble, this I noticed immediately and that’s with them on
    a 20” so it ought to be worse on your 700c. I’m getting used to them a
    bit though I can’t get up to speed, not yet at least, but Roland has had
    some for a while now and he can wiz around so they do work on a 20”.

    If they don’t work out on your 700c you could always pop them on your
    20” for when you come to hockey. 🙂
