    i got bored around the shop and i was cleaning up the warehouse at
    unicycle.com and found some old coker penny farthing hubs....so me and
    andrew at unicycle.com decide to get a wheel built for it.(kovachi
    wheels)
    this thing is crazy hard to ride and really fun when you get the hang
    of it...but it takes time....lots of it. so i pieced together some
    misc parts laying around and slapped a nimbusx 26 frame on it and put
    an old KH saddle. this is super fun. heres some pics.

    Hello

    I'm french and it's my first post on this forum.

    I desperately try to get a freewheel hub for a QU-AX penny farthing :
    [image: http://www.qu-ax.de/data/pics/fun/20005.jpg]
    (The 'Coker Wheelman'
    (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=439) is not available
    in Europe and the shipping cost to France is completely dissuasive)

    Would you give me informations about the manufacturer of your hub or a
    distributor ?

    Yours ... from Paris !

    email helpdesk at unicycle point com and Andrew will probably be the one
    to read the email... you may have a problem using the spokes you have
    on the QU-AX, as the flange is singificantly bigger on the freewheel
    hub - let us know how you get on, as I may want to do the same with my
    Penny Farthing!

    Thanks a lot Mike for this informations.

    I finally found a Coker Wheelman with a raisonable shipping cost.

    At this time, i think it's crossing the Atlantic ocean ...

    Best regards from Paris !
