I think you mean "chaffage".

I'm not sure unicycling 10 miles on a 20" would be that much more
horrendous than walking, except for the saddle soreness.

It's one more thing to add to your list of things you've done that
probably shouldn't be done by other people, Zippy. Stand proud.

well I'm not keen on chafing 😄

But on a good note there are 2 good patches of scenic rocks on the sea
front at New Brighton.

They in 'My Gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/lx86v).

But I did about 18 miles on a 20" last weekend! No, ok, a bit less -
about 5 miles of walking, 8 miles on-road, 5 miles off-road. The latter
was pretty hard given I had 90mm cranks at the time....

Was pretty knackered afterwards, and my quads killed me the next day,
but that was about it....

So I have 80mm cranks now (not going off-road on it ever again...) -
how fast should I be able to go on a good surface? I can cruise at
10mph or maybe get up to 12mph if I'm trying to go really fast, but no
more than that.....

You can "cruise" at 10 miles per hour on a 20" unicycle? I don't
believe you.

Practice. It's taken me a year to eliminate almost all the wobble from
when I ride. Sometimes when I go really fast and get careless I still
wobble.

Both of you on a 20"? Wow... that distance would be bad enough with a
unicycle each, let alone two of you on just one!

You should aspire to do a mile per inch of wheelsize: 20 on a 20, 24 on
a 24, 36 on a Coker.:p

Sit on it for long enough and you'll get there.:p

But, seriously, well done. 10 miles on any unicycle in one day puts
you into an elite band of people. (10 miles on a 20 identifies you as
totally barmy.)

But of course, we're not elitists, are we?😎

Could you tell a wise man by the way he speaks or spells?
Is this more important than the stories that he tells,
And call a man a fool, if for wealth he doesn't strive?
Then mister you're a better man than I

I've done 50 miles or so on a 20" wheel. That put my crotch and nuts in
a special place. It was a Schwinn Giraffe with a 24:13 gear ratio, but
still that was too far....

He said it's on 80 mm cranks. Surely it's fast, but well possible.

I have sustained 9 mph for a minute repeatedly, and that was with 125
mm cranks. The cadence is then 163 rpm. (This was a measured road
speed, with 3.6% inferred wobble percentage.) With 'just' 182 rpm, you
go 10 mph.

was talking about normal bikes not uni's :P
