crank length, without having too much leverage. On any size uni.
Would you like to repeat yourself with a little more background info?
Are you planning to use a square taper axle, or custom build? You can
go a lot shorter if you go custom. If you use standard parts you just
need to leave a tiny bit of metal between the axle hole and the pedal
hole. So what was your real question?
And a 12" uni does not *need* a long seat post. In fact I'd say that
was a bit silly. There's no point in being real comfortable or having
good leg extension with a 12" wheel. It's a silly setup, so it might as
well look silly. That's why I cut down the frame on mine to make it even
lower than it was when I first got it. You can see it on top of my head
in 'this picture' (http://www.unicycling.com/garage/piles.htm#mytoys)
(I think that was after I cut it down).

chain drive.....
but a standard build? wow.
Here is 'Teresa Abrahams on hers'
(http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/728931#32018866_jxzqK). Not sure
the exact wheel size, but it's all handmade. There is also a video there
of her riding it, but mostly it shows her spoofing my own "Mission
Impossible" act I do when I ride my 12", which I must have done earlier
in that same show... :p
