OK 36 inch wheel. So ,if I read you correct, any uni with a
36" wheel, built by whoever, is a coker.

" "reaches the speed of sound." If I were riding it, it sure
would, straight DOWN.

Coker is the name of a tire company. They mostly make
authentic looking tires for vintage cars. It happens that
they make a 36 inch tire and it happens that some people
like to use it for unicycles.

36" *pneumatic* aka air-filled wheel. A solid 36" wheel
isn't a Coker.

However, there are also what I would call pedigree Cokers,
When Coker started selling unicycles based on their 36"
tyre, they triggered something. Call it the Coker movement.
Now there are various frame, wheel and seat options, only
just still one tyre.

Very nice machine. I meant 'pedigree' the opposite way
though, as in purely Coker in all of its parts.

At the moment there is only one source for 36" tires so your
assumption is a little premature. If another company starts
making 36" tires then it could go the way you suggest (e.g.,
many people still call copiers "xeroxes"😉, or the term Coker
could be reserved for real Cokers.

But at the moment all Cokers have tires made by the Coker
Tire company.

True but if I did put a different tire (if ever available) I
would still call it a coker. It would be like "I'll go get
my kenda.". That would be silly.

I don't know, it's true that the most common 36"s are
still the stock "Coker" models, and it's true that any of
the 36"s, even customs, still have the Coker tire. That
said, there seems to be a bit of a trend to refer to the
newer custom jobs as 36's, not just as Cokers. I like this
trend, as it gives some credit to the folks doing the
innovation. I love my GB4 36, with the great frame by
George Barnes and U-Turn's invincible wheel. Likewise, I
think the KH 36 and Hunter 36 deserve their formal names.
They're definitely at least as much about the frame and
wheel as they are the rubber.
