  3. I -really- need a proper MUni. Right now, all my MUniing is
    done with my KH20. Currently saving money for NAUCC, then
    I'm going to buy a KH24.

    Oh, and I want a Coker.

  4. My "world of unicycling" needs a cheap 24" frame with brake
    capability. It also needs short splined cranks readily
    available in Canada. The number one thing it needs? A local
    "unicycle" shop that carries a large variety of unicycles
    and parts. My local bike shop can order most things in, but
    it still takes a while. It recently became a Unicycle.com
    dealer, so it can order things in. They won't order until
    they get a few things "in the queue," though.

  5. I know this can be done! I just know it. We need a 24" muni with a 3"
    Gazz, a decent double-walled aluminum rim and a splined axle-crank
    set(choice of lengths140-175mm) and strong, light, grippy pedals for
    under $300. Oh, and make the seat-post tube oversized so that I can run
    an aluminum alloy or carbon fiber seat-post, please. (I'll buy that and
    the carbon fiber seat frame later when I can afford it.) They have come
    really close to this with the Torker Unistar DX for $209, so why not to
    my specs. for $300?😕

    Qu-Ax. I've heard it's a little bit on the heavy side but it
    costs only 259 euros. It uses 25.4 mm seat-post. The tire is
    Duro. It has brake bosses. 'Municycle.com'
    (municycle.communicycle.com).

  8. Nerf pedals... yeah, that'd be sweet.

    and uh... asphalt flavored lollypops for those who want the
    sensory appeal of clipless pedals without the physical
    risks involved.

    and a carbon fiber giraffe frame. please, anybody? Darren,
    can you get me one of these? JFoss, do you know anyone who
    can make one of these for me? Jagur, do you happen to have
    one of these for sale?

  9. Thanks, Joona for the tip! I hadn't found that site before. They seem
    to have some good options there. And shipping is not too bad either, it
    seems🙂

  12. I think an ideal handle system is something we have not
    been able to accomplish. The current standard of placing
    the handle on the front of the seat works decently well and
    is a big step up from not having any handle, but it is
    lacking in several respects. The added force on the saddle
    causes us to use heavier (or in the case of the carbon
    handle, much more expensive) saddles. I think there should
    be a (mass produced) method to attached the handle to the
    seat post or frame.

    I would also like to see a cheap (decent quality) frame with
    brake mounts. Personally, I'd like to have v-brake mounts
    because of the price compared to hydraulics.

  13. Sure V-brakes cost less, but if your leg happens to touch
    the brake while you're riding, the brake engages! That is no
    good and doesn't happen with hydraulics.

  14. Strong Coker sized wheels, like a double-walled alloy Alex DX-36 with a
    fat tire to match......like say a 36x2.5 Hookworm!!!! 🙂

    I don't even own a Coker but damn if that wouldn't make
    me want one!

    😕 We have the 'Airfoil rim'
    (unicycle.comshopexd.asp) by
    unicycle.com. Why do you need an Alex rim? The Airfoil rim
    is strong. Hmmm, it actually looks a lot like the 'Arrow
    Racing DHX' (arrowracing.comdhx.html) rim.
    Go figure? The Airfoil is a DH bike rim. Double walled.
    Super strong.

    I can see wanting some different tire choices for the Coker.
    A big fat dirt worthy tire would be a hoot on the Coker. I
    don't see the Hookworm offering a significant benefit
    compared to the Coker tire. A lighter Coker road tire would
    be nice. The stock Coker tire weighs a ton.

  16. Whoa, that's cool, I had no idea someone made a heavy duty
    36" wheel!!

    Still, I'd like to see more choices than the Coker
    tire, and I guarentee you it would be a superior urban
    tire to Coker's. I am yet to find a slick that stands
    up to the Hookworms
