  1. How long do you thing it would take to ride a unicycle 11Km? With a
    wheel size of 20'' with 165mm cranks?

  2. Probably a few seconds. I would take my unicycle on a rocket ship,
    because I don't have to ride it, and if I ever DID have to ride it, I
    would ride it on the rocket ship to finish the 11km.🙂
    Good luck

  3. PLEASE

    PUT THE QUESTION

    IN THE SUBJECT LINE.

    Shouting over. It depends how fast you pedal! Level ground? Probably
    not if you're using 165's on a 20". Figure a couple of hours if you go
    nonstop, or more if you take your time.

    it might be faster to just walk

  5. Is it even possible to have a 20 inch wheel with 165mm cranks? How would
    you turn?

    Anyways, that would take a really really long time.

    Answer to 1 defiantly.

    Answer to 2 without leaning you just twist.

    I believe you can fit 175's on a 20". Turn very gradually or by
    hopping

    Yeah, with that setup it would probably be faster to walk the uni or
    carry it.

  9. Ha
    Yeah I'm entered in a fun run and I'm doing in on my unicycle and its
    really, really old. From like the 60's-70's. And the cranks broke and
    the only ones I could find that would fit were 165mm long. Oh well I
    ain't scared!

    Not sure how to factor in the crank size bit, but I've ridden 8 miles
    (12.5km) on a 20" with 125 cranks on 3 times. Each time was exactly 1h
    9min.

    I guess it'll take longer with the longer cranks, and it'll depend a
    lot on your fitness levels and terrain, and training etc...

    If you can afford it, now you should get a pair of short cranks. I like
    114 for Freestyle, but if you're not doing lots of tricks you can go
    even shorter. Order cranks from Unicycle.com.

    I think it depends on how much determination you have and the speed
    you'll be doing. 😄 😄 😄

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.
