  1. what uni would be best for a 20 mile ride or longer. it would be on the
    road. I waqs thinking about a 29" touring unicycle but the coker goes
    faster so it would be easier to go on.

  5. you dont *need* a coker for distance...some people do 20miles on a
    24"... i would suggest a 29er if money is tight..its just as good in my
    opinion just a little slower

    Don't compromise. Get a coker.

    Read up on threads about 29" vs. Coker. There IS no substitute, my
    friend.

  9. Don't worry about it. Get the 29er if you've not got the money for the
    coker.

    They're both fast enough to ride 20 miles no problems. You might find
    you don't really like distance in which case the coker is a very large
    and pointless waste of space, whilst the 29er can be used sensibly for
    muni and is handier just for getting round town.

    Having said that, if I was to ride 20 miles tomorrow, I'd use the coker
    every time.

  11. Welcome Lucky_8!

    SUBJECT LINE POLICE:

    That should have been your subject line. The subject should tell us the
    subject, so we know if we're interested to read the thread.

    For distance riding, if you plan to do lots of distance, not just a big
    ride here & there, I definitely recommend saving up for the Coker. If
    you want something more flexible (a little more maneuverable, fits
    better in cars, can be ridden on more trails), the 29er will work but
    will always be slower.

  12. Nice trick, using a nebulous and very nodescript title to get people to
    look at a subject that's been discussed, oh, about a hundred times in
    the last year. I usually don't rag on people about "using the search
    button" but in this case I'll make an exception. The "Coker vs. 29er"
    debate has been beaten to death around here.
