  1. Hey, this is another one of those i got a new nimbus 36" threads.

    Specs are:

    nimbus frame, T7 handle, kh seatpost, airfoil, stainless steel spokes,
    TA tyre, 150mm prowheel cranks, yellow snafus at the moment, a TREK
    water bottle holder of my now redundant 2 wheeled thingy, and a skull
    valve cap!

    UDC Australia were great in getting this to me so fast and for a
    reasonable price too! i recommend them to everybody.

    i have the airfoil rim, but im not sure if its the one that can't take
    the coker tyre, if for some reason i ever wanted to change, how do i
    find out if i have the good old rim or the newer smaller ones?
    the TA tyre is HUGE i was amazed it was soooo big! it seems to ride
    nice too i really like it.

    because im so short, there is only 1mm of seat post showing above the
    frame, i really cut it fine there aye?

    sorry about the pic quality, i used my phone (sorry!), it really doesnt
    do the uni justice, its beautiful. I name it Heffer.

    If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
    again. You will never fail.

  6. Get some grips, a brake handle, a cycle computer and a bell on your
    handle and all of a sudden it looks purposefully and integrated in the
    rest of the uni, they do look a bit wierd bare.

  7. How do you like those cranks? Seems like the Prowheels would create way
    too much Q when you already have the super wide hub. And definitely
    get some grips for the handle - looks better, feels better and it
    protects the paint. A grip on the back part is good too. I used one
    grip cut into halves.

  9. Looking good, iride!

    I've used ProWheel 152mm cranks on my wide-hubbed 36" with no problems.
    My favourite brand of crank for 36ers is Qu-Ax - their 114mm and 125mm
    cranks are light, strong and have little Q factor.

  12. Me and Owen also managed to stack it (mine was more on the verge of
    stacking). Owen some how managed to bend the handle, but hey it has to
    happen some time.

    The way to reach higher speed, I found is to lean forward so is to
    increase your aerodynamics and balance, with increased aerodynamics.
    You get better control and so forth. 😄 😄 😄

    I'm considering that now, people either just don't hear the bell, or
    ignore it, especially rowing coaches. I'm considering an air horn.

    Unfortunately blowing them off the road means blowing them in to the
