16" nimbus trials uni... why?

Yeah, when you were a kid were you smaller? Some kids are too small to
handle a 20". I guess the question then is, are they heavy enough to
need a splined hub? 🙄

There was this little person at FLUCK and he was doing amazing stuff,
his wheel looked like a 29" does on me it was really amazing. Obviously
the unicycle is made for people like him, the tiny people who do
trials.

I filmed an 8 year old boy, crankflipping a 3 set on that uni today..
He wouldn't have a chance on a 20"!

re speed: put a geared hub in it 😄

Although that might confound the weight advantage somewhat.

A 16" unicycle would most likely be used for indoor purposes really. 😄

I just dont think too much of it, unless your really young and or
small.

We could keep getting smaller, 12" 10", 8", 4". Loose the speed, save
some weight, keep to static really, tuck like it doesnt take any
technique or skill. Ride a pogo stick. 🙄
Im just having fun, dont take me to serious, or think im mad. Be funny
if you do though, or if you miss this section.

My first unicycle was a 12" like that Sun that Hazmat just posted above!
I fitted a chunkier tyre to it and used it for trials until I bought a
proper trials uni. It screwed it up but it was great fun!

Rock on!
