  1. First the back story:

    A guy I know just bought a 'toy' unicycle for about AUS $70.00. I
    warned him not to buy it as it was really cheap quality and would
    probably break after 2 weeks. He bought it anyway and I had to eat my
    words. I was so wrong. It broke after only 2 days. He is bringing it
    back to the shop to have it replaced with another equally cheap
    unicycle. Some people never learn.

    The only good thing about the unicycle were the instructions that came
    with it. I have attached a copy for your viewing pleasure and
    educational benefit.

  2. Man, that's bad, first why buy in the 1st place after you told him not
    to. Second, next time just slap him real hard across the head until it
    seeps in. Finally, you're right some people will never learn. They
    always think they're right. 😄 😄 😄

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

  3. Looking at the lower diagram, I am interested in the axle: for the
    pedals to be fixed to the hub as illustrated, the axle must be bent,
    slanting, or have a dog-leg. All in all, it would make a very
    interesting ride!

    The random spoke locations are a lesser consideration. So, also, is
    the fact that the wheel is off centre relative to the seat stem.

    That means you need to buy 4 unis right at the beginning in order to
    get unicycling cracked.

    Where did he get it from?
    I have a friend who want's to buy a really cheap unicycle, i recomended
    that he buy one second hand but there's none around.

  11. I am not telling where he bought it from unless it is for a really
    little kid to learn on. If a bigger person tries to ride it it will
    probably break. Tell your friend to save up a little bit more and get a
    unicycle that will last beyond the learning process.

    The upside with this model (according to the instructions) is that you
    can master it in one week. I should have started with one of these as
    the one I first bought took at least a month to learn :-)

  12. Quoted message said:

    this product is fairly cheap and fit for body-building

    does that sentence even work.
    I like how they admit that their product is cheap

    and then go on to suggest it is good for a totally different sport..

    I was un-aware the 'medical circle' had so many found nick names for
    the humble unicycle.
