  1. Inspired by Brian Mackenzie, his 36" UW and his amazing riding on the
    36UW in TWNR, I decided I needed one myself.

    It has been a bit of a process.
    A radial steel rim, 25 mm cromo tubing, pedal bossed that I turned up
    at work.
    It took some hacksawing and filing to get the tubing right. I paid a
    local welding teacher a slab of beer to TIG weld the thing together and
    sweet talked my local bike shop to use their taps for the pedal
    threads.

    I decided on orange for no other reason that I like the color on
    unicycles and did not want to copy the yellow original. When I was
    talking things over with the powder coater, I also pulled my KH Muni
    apart and got it done in orange at the same time.

    The finished product. Radial tyre, Snafu pedals, orange and it looks
    great but cost more than I would have expected.

    Now...... there is only 1 slight problem....I don't know if I will be
    able to ride it but sure will try.

    that's awesome!!

    When you can ride it, post a video, i'd like to see it in action~

    I've mentioned a 36" UW to friends before, but i never thought i'd
    actually see one :p

    Are you going to have that at Chiltern in May? 😄

    Good stuff,

  11. haha, yeah it does.

    i can't wait to try it, i'm really looking farward to that weekend

    it really does look like you bought it.

    It's quite excellent looking, but as Kevin said

    '36" ultimate wheel - incredibly pointless, like a BC wheel with gears'

    hehe..

    Brian, can you put a link in this thread please? 🙂

    The link is in my signature.

    The UW36 is just about as pointless as unicycling...

  15. I watched the video, Brian.

    It's very good!

    The 36" UW looks like it's good to ride muni :p

    What was that contraption that was like a BC wheel.. and a unicycle?

    does it just have a bike hub on it or something? is it hard to ride?

    Each end has to eat. What goes in one end, comes out the other.
    Therefore, whatever end A eats, let's call him Fred, what Fred eats has
    to come out of side 2, let's call him Charlie. Whatever Charlie eats
    must come out of Fred.

    It's gruesome, I know. But the truth hurts sometimes.
