G-Uni Updates???

[censored]. wrong button.

to contribute though - I doubt you'll be seeing a production GUni come
in under 500$ for a few years. I do think we'll get there eventually,
but not for a while yet.

dose aneyone have an idea if there will ever be a $500ish g coker avable
cuz i would love one

I dont think that anyone is making a geared coker or thinking about
producing one. You can, however, buy the new KH geared hub when it
comes out sometime next year and put that in a coker wheel, or so I am
told. That will cost *a lot more *than 500 dollars though. Even a
regular coker with a nice seat and airfoil rim costs more than 500
dollars.

I was thinking about purchasing the schlumpf hub and putting that in a
coker wheel, but I decided to wait and go with a nice coker with an
airfoil rim instead. A non-geared coker is amazing, and I would
recommend buying one and not waiting for a new product (even though it
looks like UDC isnt selling cokers anymore).

Both of 'these ' (http://tinyurl.com/4xbu)are around $500, the Corker
and that classic replica 48".

The Shclumph (sp?) I'm sure would be less as it has cotterless cranks.

I'm anctiously awaiting for the KH geared hub. I have spent quite a
lot of time debating on a trails guni, 24" or 26" and I still can't
decide. I'm leaning towards a KH trials or 24" though.

Anyone know how much the KH geared hub will be?

The schlumpf may have cotterless cranks, but it's still 1,144 euros.
And you can't just attach it to any coker frame, because the torque arm
from the hub must be bolted to the frame. Because of this, Schlumpf
doesn't sell just the hub all by itself. If they did, the hub itself
would probably be around 700-800 euros, plus the cost of the coker
stuff, would probably run around 1200-1300 euros.

Good luck on that geared coker. 😄

EDIT: oh, and for the same reasons, the geared KH may approach $1000
USD, would be my guess.

I emailed Kris about the Guni hubs awhile back, and he said he hopes to
get them out by Christmas. It might be longer though. So hold on, it's
worth the wait.

p.s. He's working on making the shifter stronger/better.

Sorry I had a brain fart on the cost part.:o
Corker: 250 pounds
Schlumpf: 890 pounds

Didn't know that.

36" is too high up, plus I'm too afraid of a high speed upd (can't run
fast). I'm thinking more 24-29"

Definately possible but I hope not.😕 :eek:

Anyone know if the a crankset will be available separately, and more
likely prices?

it's called a coker.
not a corker.

or a cocker.
or a cooker.
just coker.

just had to rag on that :p.

but to contribute,
they're really expensive now, and i really WISH they would get less
expensive.
they look really fun.

Actually, I think the height is a benifit, it gives you a short moment
longer before you hit the ground, and i think that helps you better
position yourself to run out, or roll out of a high speed upd. Also,
just because you CAN go faster, it doesn't mean you have to.

the price should be significantly higher than $1k. I think Schlumpf
unicycles are currently somewhere between $1400-$1600. I dont imagine a
KH could be much cheaper.

I know a schlumpf coker built in the UK cost over $2000. The KH can only
cost more than the sclumpf so don't hold your breath for when it comes
out. Epicyclic gearboxes have very high internal forces and thus need
to be built of good quality materials to very close tolerances, this
costs a heck of a lot of money, and the small batch runs increase cost
by meaning the tooling setup cost is split over a smaller number of
units. I think the chance of a sub $500 geared coker ever being
released is extremley small, hell in the Uk standard cokers cost more
than that anyway. You're only choice is a geared giraffe, GB4 built one
with i think a 26" wheel, and a guy called skippi on here has one, I
should think theyre similarly fast but more difficult to control.

The KH/Schlumpf ISIS hub will fit other frames (with a minor
modification), but of course that will be more expensive than the
current square taber hub...

I bombarded Kris with some stuff that I can answer now.

-The full unicycle will be around $1600 (not sure if it's US or CAD).
-The unicycle is a KH one, and *any frames made before august last*
year will be compatible. You can modify the older frames by taking 2mm
out of the outer bearing holder. Subtract the cost of a normal KH to
get the price for just the hub.
-The hub will be stronger, and can (It has been done by KH himself)
take 6 foot drops to transitions. This uni would be perfect for XC and
muni in one trip. If you want to go hardcore, get a fixed hub.
-Kris sais that the release date has now been moved for the end of
spring, but he isn't sure. Lots of little imperfections that he needs
to smooth over.
