  1. Contrary to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' the answer is 36,

    (42 will someday be the correct answer, but only when commercially
    available.)

  2. 29'ers are a lot of fun-and you arent limited to riding on the road with
    them. You can do some pretty cool off roading with them-But as said
    before it all depends on the conditions around you to help you decided.

  4. It's a matter of decisions and for different reasons. Therefore, I can
    tell you what I decided to do:

    1. KH 29 for light trails and dirt riding.
    2. Nimbus 36" for long road rides.

    Note: If I were to choose between the two unicycles above I could not
    do it. They are different machines for different purposes in my book.
    Others may have different opinions. Therefore my advice is to get both
    if you can. If you can't at the moment get the one that will match the
    terrain you will be riding the most.

  5. What more could a guy ask for.

    -19 C, my 29" and 9:00pm

    Fun in the snow, year round riding, long distance riding.

    Man I love my 29"

    Oh yeah, a cold beer when I'm done.

    Yes! That's exactly how it feels for me. I -could- get by with just
    one or the other and still be able to ride most of what I do. But that
    would not be as awesome as having both! The 29er is an awesome
    workhorse: I can ride it on road, off road, in traffic, around
    pedestrians in the town centre - and I can still get up to pretty
    decent speeds on it when I'm on a good surface. It's also easier to
    fit into the boot of a car - when there's other luggage in there, the
    36er can get pretty tight.

    But there's nothing quite like a 36 😉 - it's fast, it's smooth, it
    covers distance. For the things that it's good at, it's waaay better
    than the 29er - sometimes it's fun even on the things it's supposedly
    not as good at.

    Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
    pedals!
    Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
    Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
    Mark: My wheel has a wheel!
