So, if this was your uni, what would *you *change? (Anyone that says
the carpet or curtains will be disqualified!)
I'd go road pedals + half clips, a little less weight, and better at
keeping feet on pedals.
I'd dump the T7, go for a stock KH seat + non rail seatpost.
Coincidentally that is pretty much what I have.
If I was wanting to build an absolutely just road unicycle, whilst I
wouldn't go as mental as rowan suggested, as I've ridden mikefules 23mm
unicycle and it really does suck as a general riding around unicycle,
I'd use a less wide rim like say a velocity dyad (315g weight savings),
and maybe even try a Schwalbe Marathon Racer 38mm tyre (200g weight
savings), although I don't know if the 38mm tyre might be a bit too
much of a gear drop to make up for the 0.5kg less weight on the wheel.
Or, for a multi-purpose unicycle, I'd consider changing to the muni hub
+ KH29er frame, so I could run the double drilled 150/125mm cranks,
giving me something that was good for road or muni without crank
swapping. I'm thinking if I win the lottery / do any random bits of
contract work etc. I'd like a 24 or 26" geared KH to use as a muni +
travel machine.
By the way, the tyre/tube change is a real surprise after the big apple
eh? I'm quite pleased I discovered that tyre.
