  3. it looks to me like its an old sun without the quick release or the sun
    sticker. either they took it off, or its an imitation sun unicycle of
    some sort. but i still think its a sun.

  4. I personally don't think its a sun. THe reason i think that is that
    aren't those lollipop bearings?

  6. dunno what it is, but it's not a sun. suns don't have lollipop bearing
    holders. The seat does look the same though.

  7. In Canada, that's your generic local bike shop unicycle. I believe it is
    ordered out a Lambert catalogue.

    We bought that unicycle in 24” and had it for 2 weeks. My brother who
    just got into unicycling rode it mostly and did no drop larger then a
    curb and only rebalancing hops. We were able to return it to the shop
    under warranty. The wheel was out of true, the foam on the seat was
    ripping, the rim was beginning to rust, the hub had begun to bend, and
    the cranks were beginning to twist, and the hub lock tight nut’s kept
    coming undone. The seat was the most uncomfortable seat I have ever
    tried however with a sock and an inner tube on top of it the seat made a
    nice air seat.

    How was your exprience in riding it?

    In my opinion you did really well to learn on that type of unicycle; no
    matter new unicycle you ride, it’s probably a change for the better!

  8. It's a generic "cheap" unicycle. Unfortunately naming it may be
    impossible because many of them are sold without names. In the old days
    (which are still today in some shops), bike shops would generally have a
    maximum of two unicycles. When there was more than one, it was usually a
    20" and a 24". There was no need for fancy names, it was a "unicycle."
    Various factories in Taiwan and elsewhere made a few different
    variations of framesets, and a few types of seats, which could be mixed
    and matched by anyone who wanted to order several hundred (or more)
    units. Then resellers could put on any sticker they wanted, or none at
    all.

    So you might call it a "generic Taiwan," or maybe an "old Sun" though I
    can't be sure if either of those is entirely accurate.

  10. yes it is a generic unicycle, numerous different companies are
    rebranding these and selling them, I had one with the Avenir logo on it,
    then painted it, bought new pedals and a new seat, then a new uni, but
    they work just fine if youre just learning.
