  1. Hey everyone, I got a bunch of new parts today from Bedford unicycles
    and I put a new uni together, it is so awesome. I haven't gotten to
    ride it yet because I just put it together.

    Here are the specs:
    From 'Bedford:' (BedfordUnicycles.ca)
    KH20 07 frame powdercoated orange with black flame stickers
    KH20 07 rim also powder coated orange
    Black spokes

    From 'Scott Wallis' (Wallisdesign.com) (I got this stuff a little while
    ago, its not brand new):
    Sif grips
    Deathgrip handle
    CF rear bumper

    Stuff I already had:
    Orange hoffman sole mate pedals with black pedal protectors
    CF miyata shaped seat
    Koxx-one hub with 125 K1 cranks
    my original seat post from my summit a few years ago, it will be
    replaced soon with a longer post...when I got my summit I was a lot
    shorter. The seat is as high as it will go right now.
    black tryall rimstrip from Cody

    The powdercoating looks amazing! I am really happy with it. Thanks
    Darren!

    Here are a bunch of pictures taken when I was putting it together. I
    will upload to my gallery sometime too.
    Try not to drool on your keyboard😉

    Hahahahaha.

    Psh, that was the first pic of the whole uni, I didnt have much luck
    making it stand up by itself so I had my mom take a pic of me holding
    it.

    Edit: to torkerdx, yeah I built the wheel.

  8. That's awesome, and I don't use that word lightly except for when
    complimenting Harper. Orange looks great. Kind of like a tangerine
    dream.

  9. Thats really cool, I wanna try the orange machine at Moab too :p. You
    can try my pizza pizza mobile if you want 😄.

    Actualy I just lost an orange part on it as I no longer have the orange
    rim cause I'm too cheap to pay for the powdercoating.

    Ps. what size cranks are those?

    Damn I fail at reading, I now see they are the 125s.

  12. I am definitely bringing it to moab so anyone can play with it. I just
    rode it under the street light with Cody, it is really cool. Its very
    light too. I got a doubleflip very first try in the dark on the uni
    before I tried anything else, it made me happy.

  13. How are those cranks? Are they a little short?

    Edit: Oops, nevermind. Looks like you have the 125mm cranks.

    Is it just me or do you have a really long torso/short legs?

    Sif grips

    I've never seen these. I can't find them on his site. Can you take a
    couple of picks of them. How much were they?

    Why not go for more orange w/ orange pedal protectors?

    haha, I think its just the long shirt that makes me look like that, my
    legs arent that short.

    The SIF grips are on Scott's site, they are $16. I got mine for a
    little cheaper because they were gray instead of black but it doesn't
    matter at all because they are inside the seat anyway.

    Here is part of a picture from his site where you can see them, they
    are the the little pieces on the back of the lip on the base. They just
    stick to the inside of the base with an adhesive, they make the base
    much more comfortable to hold sif.

    Oh and I thought the black pedal protectors would look cool because
    everything on my uni is alternating orange and black. Orange pedal
    protectors would have blended into the pedals more too. Picking parts
    for this uni made it feel like an art project or something. I love
    getting new stuff🙂

  20. How much do those pedal protectors actually protect the pedals? I wanted
    to get some, but they won't fit on my pedal along with my grind plate.
