  3. That's an interesting question. I've always thought the essence of a
    custom unicycle is being able to choose your own parts. 🙂

    My custom muni has:
    - 24 x 3" Nokian Gazzaloddi tyre
    - 24" Alex DX-32 rim
    - DT Swiss spokes
    - Profile hub
    - Profile 145mm cranks
    - Kona JackSh*t pedals (upgrading to Odyssey Twisted Pro sealed ones
    with stronger axle)
    - Custom frame made from 4130 with machined bearing holders powder
    coated yellow
    - Seatpost clamp of unknown brand
    - KH seat and seatpost
    - Will soon have a Magura HS-33 brake with extra-grippy pads made by a
    guy I know for about $20.

  5. Yep, a good find hey! He's some sort of engineer and has access to the
    right equipment. Lots of the local and not-so-local bike trials riders
    use his pads and claim that they're significantly better than the
    standard ones. And he only charges $20!
