  1. It looks like I will seek a 700c rim based 29" unicycle at some point in
    the future. Cost is a factor but not the driving one. I'm looking for
    a quality unicycle at a reasonable price. Looks like the KH 29" XC is a
    varsity level uni in that class without paying a lot of extra money for
    small production run, hand-made unicycles. I want something better and
    stronger than the $200-300 unicycles, but I don't want to jump into the
    over $1000 price range either.

    Desired use is cruising on pavement for exercise (probably with shorter
    cranks and a smooth tire like the big apple) with a future to include
    some trail riding where I would want to use longer cranks and the knobby
    that comes on the stock uni. I like the idea that the KH has a mount
    option for a brake should I ever get serious in the Muni direction--good
    plan or not?

    Any other serious competitors in that class that I should look at in
    detail before committing?

  2. KH sounds perfect for what you want to do and what price/quality range
    you have in mind.

    Go for it!
