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.

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.

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.comOpen ↗).

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?
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🙂

Roger's site says he still has the last carbon fibre giraffe frame left.
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.

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.

*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.aspOpen ↗) 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.htmlOpen ↗) 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.
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
