  1. I posted a question on the unicon13 forums: are geared unicycles
    accepted on 10 and 42 km races?
    the official answer is yes....
    But I have conflicting answers ... that's why I ask the question again
    on this forum.

  2. You can. You would be in the unlimited category.

  3. Gilby's short answer is correct, based on the answer I read to the
    question you posted on the UNICON XXIII message board.

    The longer answer is that decisions for events not specifically
    required in the governing edition of the IUF rule book are made by the
    event organizers (i.e., the local organizing committee). They are not
    required to get the approval of the IUF Rules Committee and / or the
    Board of Directors for such decisions.

  4. I've done it twice without getting arrested.

  5. Unlimited is the best class. the best machines and the more chilled
    out riders are all in unlimited.

  6. The next edition of the IUF Rulebook will address the existence of
    geared hubs in the definition of "standard unicycle." In other words,
    it will not be considered a standard unicycle for races where only
    those are allowed.

    But I imagine your question has already been answered in terms of 10
    and 42k races. Both of those should have an unlimited category, which
    is where your cycle will fit.

    Also, as Tom Daniels mentioned, if the hosts add other races (anything
    other than what is covered in the IUF Rulebook), they can allow
    whatever types of unicycles they choose.

  7. Sarah, you forgot the best thing about the unlimited class: if you enter
    unlimited you save riding 10km on a 24" cycle with long cranks! It
    should be a very interesting race next summer. See you there.
