    I'm a coconut! My coker drives like a dream, look for some piccies in my
    album.

    Done my first miles on it too, got it today, and couldnt wait to get on
    it. Bit tricky to get the tire on.. But that's all, it feels lighter
    than my trials uni, and goes quite fast. Going again in an hour, what
    do you think of it?

    Looks like a great ride! Hope you have a lot of fun on it. You must
    have a pretty heavy trials unicycle if the coker is lighter!

    Ok, checked it and it's actually 1.7kg heavier, and I have the 20" Qu-Ax
    which is pretty heavy (6.3kg) Any tips on freemounting? I'm too scared
    to try it atm, but any suggestions are welcome :p

    Try it!

    Congrats on getting a Coker. I recently rode John van Baar's Coker and
    boy, was it nice. (And I freemounted on my 3rd or 4th try, somewhat to
    my surprise.)

    Great news: I can freemount! And I've finished making my 'control
    centre', look at the GRANDE picture here:

    It's kind of fancy, seeing as its made out of 2 old bar ends, a heating
    pipe and a small piece of my seat post. Now I can really keep log of my
    tours!
