  1. I was just checking pricing on renegade and saw 'this'
    (http://www.renegadejuggling.com/Web_store/rev3k/index.html). It looks
    nice and its says its different then the track monster, so I thought I
    would just show you guys. Any thoughts?

    Whoops sry, link doesn't work for some reason. Just scroll down to the
    unis section...you'll see it

    If you are in Santa Cruz, you should stop by Tom's shop and check it
    out.

  3. I think that you will be bummed out by the 140mm cranks if yuo are going
    to be doing MUni. Also why not have the brake mounts. The narrower fork
    is good but from the picture I can't tell if it is rounded at the
    corners like the KH. If not you will bang up the insides of your
    knees.

  4. Wow, that's really cool. It's almost like a big devil. I like the
    seat/frame color combo alot. If I didn't already own a 26" track
    monster, I'd be all over that uni like flies on [censored].

    I'm not so sure I like the idea of not having brakes though. It can be
    difficult to stop quickly without brakes sometimes. As a matter of
    fact I just hit a car this morning with my track monster. I couldn't
    grab the brake fast enough. Just think how bad it could have been if I
    had I no brakes.

    Brakes or not, after the abuse my uni has taken and held up I am a huge
    K1 fan.

    I'd think 140mm cranks would be fine for some fairly technical stuff
    whilst still allowing you to get up a reasonable speed on the flats. I
    guess that and the lack of brake mounts suggests they're not aiming for
    the really really extreme stuff.

    Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
    pedals!
    Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
    Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
    Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

  6. Isn't that just this unicycle? http://tinyurl.com/yvcmat because the
    link just linked me to the mainsite instead of a product. 140mm is good
    for muni. Crank length is a personal choice, you can't say 140mm sucks
    for muni just because you either havn't tried it yet or didn't like the
    experience.

  12. Isn't that the frame with the iridescent paint job that looks so
    awesome?

    That seat is not so good looking for MUni though. 😕

  13. 140mm cranks are not optimal for MUni. Yes you can get great spead with
    them but you will suffer on climbs and have a harder time balancing on
    technical sections. Kris Holm himself always used 165mm cranks for
    MUni. He only went to the 150mm cranks after starting to use brakes. He
    has mentioned before that you wouldn't want to do any serious downhill
    MUni with cranks shorter than 165mm without a brake. So giving such
    short cranks without a brake option is not ideal in my opinion. But hey
    each to his own.
