Yuni Journeyman vs. Semcycle XL Standard

I thought about this after the 10 minute edit option had expired.

I'm 5'11" and currently weigh about 225, but I'm looking to unicycling
to get that under 200! :-)

My inseam is about 30-31"

Hope this helps with the crank length question.

Sometime in the past 20 years - or more accurately, sometime in the past
20 months something really important has happened in the world of
unicycle design which these two unicycles surprisingly do not reflect.

And that great thing is, comfortable saddles hath been birthed. You'll
do your self a big favor if you stay away from the viscount saddle. The
Kris Holm saddles or any variation of the KH, or an air saddle mod of
the Miyata are so much better.

That's the only thing I would say is bad about these two unicycles.

Hello ATRannals...and welcome back to unicycling.

A things many of us would probably like to know is:

What type of riding do you intend to be doing - street, MUni, light
trails?

Will this uni be for everyday usage, or just now and then?

As for Crank length... The 5" will get you places faster but you will
lose some control... and the 6" youll have more control but you wont go
as fast.. But since youve been away for So Long i would recomend the
longer ones.. and then later once you feel more confortable get shorter
ones..

For pavement get the 5". For offroad consider 6" or 140's (5.5"😉, which
is what I used to use for MUni on my old 24" Miyata. 6" is pretty long
for a (regular) 24" wheel, for anything other than steep or extreme
terrain.

Don't get any of those. They both have [censored] seats!!! Get an KH style
seat. Or an air seat.

Well, I ended up going with neither of my first choices. 🙄

After reading the responses and talking with UDC, I ended up going with
a Nimbus 24" Freestyle X. It was the same price, but came with a
heavier double wall rim, 48 spokes instead of 36 and the recommended
Kris Holm saddle.

It should be here sometime next week, so let the fun begin again. 🙂

Thanks for all the advice!
