  1. hiya everyone!

    my uni is falling apart and i need a new one. I thought about getting
    2, a freestyle/trial unicycle, and a freestyle/street uni. everyone
    tells me i should get a KH20" for the trial uni, but those are
    soooooooooooo expensive, and since i just need a unicycle, it doesn't
    matter what i just neeeed one, i found this store nearby and they're
    selling them for about $80

    And so i was thinking, ok i'll get the 20" tire for the trick unicycle,
    and this unicycle will be just like a riding uni... or freestyle uni.
    doesn't matter, i just want to get around with a wheel, and keep up
    with my friends :-D

    I should get a 24" tire on this uni. since the uni that i have now (the
    one falling apart) is a 20", i have no idea what a 24" would be like,
    but i know that i want one, haha

    So my question is this. what crank length should i get? i know that if
    this would be a muni, a 165mm would be good, but i don't plan on riding
    this in the woods, ya know? but still, is 165mm good for a
    freestyle/street uni?

    so what length crank should i get? Im only gonna do riding, a little
    tricks (like 1 footed riding or hopping), but not big tricks like
    grinding or jumping up 3 feet :-D. that i'll leave to my KH20... which
    i'll get one day....if ever 🙁

    heres a link to the uni i would like...

    It looks like [censored] with that grey color all over it, but whatever.
    also, ill ask for a 24" tire instead of a 20" tire. i could buy a
    different uni, but this one is cheap, and i don't have money, so this
    is it, sorry.

    thanks,

    -pete

  2. My Torker LX came with 150 cranks. I wouldn't go any longer than that.
    140 would probably be better. But I like the 165's on my KH24 for off
    road and hills.

  4. if it's for freestyle and riding around, I'd do 140 mm. that's what I
    have(i think I have anyway) on my 24" schwinn and it works pretty well.
