I am so new I've never been on a unicycle. Haven't bought one yet. I KNOW NOTHING. I've browsed through the last 5 pages of this forum, and haven't seen a question specifically from someone as uninformed as me. I have no idea where in my community I could buy a unicycle, so I figure I have to do it online. So that means I can't try one out first; therefore I need some good advice. I was thinking of going cheap on ebay, so if I get one that doesn't fit me, or has a painful seat or whatever, I wouldn't be losing that much money. I saw a 12 year old Schwinn for about $40 including shipping. What y'all think? And speaking of size, I've read that 24" is the best all-around uni, but then I read elsewhere that it has to do with your height and inseam (I'm 5 foot 6 inches tall, inseam about 30".)
I won't even get into my questions on how to use these things, but if anyone has ANY advice on models, used vs. new, how much to spend in general, I'd appreciate it.
First of all, I wouldnt listen to the inseam thing. The easiest size to learn on is a 20". Then adjusting to a 24" unicycle isnt hard. I looked through ebay at unicycles and the best one I saw for you would be this one:
its a 20" sun. I ordered a 24" sun a few weeks ago, and Im a beginner and it has worked out fine for me. If for some reason you dont like this one, dont buy one thats too cheap. Also I wouldnt buy a used one. This one is a great unicycle for its price.
