700cc questions

*Many good points have been made here about fast unicycles.

Then I thought that having a super fast 28 wouldn't be as much fun as
my coker. I like being high up and the 'limo effect' of the big wheel
flying over the bumps. Different folks different strokes.. *

Yeah. . . I have "M-uni" blinders . . .
In other words, I don't think anything of having to work "too hard" to
get from point A to point B. Usually, the more "uncomfortable" I am the
better the trail.

There's plenty o' things you can do to make a coker ride pretty
uncomfortable. Remember those trails that were hard when you first
started? Think they're easy now? All you have to do to relive that
initial thrill is to do it on a 36"er. 10 miles on a 24"? Try 60 on a
36".

Going 17+ MPH isn't quite comfortable. ....riding stairs. Doing drops?
BMX parks.

It's only a limo if you treat it like one.

Great points!

I am still bedazzled . . ..

Here in Texas, anyone (like myself) who can ride a Coker, will "leave"
anyone who can ride a 24" within a 1/2 mile!

Outside of this thread (and that race) no one would argue that a 24"
would do so well.
Similarly, I find it amazing that the 20" beat 24" in the uphill,
downhill and crosscountry races!
Outside of this thread, we'd hear about "pedal strikes" and how a 20"
M-uni "stands still."

I'm amazed because the facts are incredibly ironic.

It would be like a Coker beating GB4's geared uni . . . . without both
chains falling and Cokers "slipstreaming." :p

"It's illogical, Captain."

There are plenty of reasons to like Cokers . . . but now there are even
more reasons to like the other wheel sizes!
