i have now pushed that up to 21.05mph! having super short cranks has helped me a lot with speed

Here is my humble contribution
Thank you everyone who helped me out with my questions!

Built for a shorty, I am 162cm tall.
I used triple magnets for the cycle computer. Don't really need to, but the inner nerd in me kept saying "Three times faster speed update!!" lol.

hi, i have had that idea for quite a while now, as it takes a while for the computer to work out a speed with 1 magnet, i never did because i wasn't quite shore how to re configure the computer to still give the right speed, did you just divide the circumference by 3? thanks.

Yes, that is correct

Traditionally,
1 magnet = 1 revolution

But if
3 magnets = 1 revolution
1 magnet = 1/3 revolution.

I ride a bicycle seat, much better then unicycle seats

The frame construction is home made 3 years ago now i think. I designed the frame myself, its made on a cnc mill. There where a couple of pictures in a other threat but they are offline now i think.

My new Titan!

Great ride. Got a friction burn on my pointer finger from somewhere but I'm not blaming the Uni.
My fleet is complete.

Wow! I've never heard of a bicycle seat! Is it slotted? Padded? It looks lots of your weight can be forward onto your hands, yes?

yes i forward weight to my hands and this is one big plus because on unicycle seats all your weight is still on the saddle even when using other handlebars.

its just a normal mountainbike bicycle seat

My current rides

My 'old-faithful' N36 on the towpath and the latest incarnation of my KH36. Taken off the brake and running with the bent version of the Shadow handle that enables me to get down over the front. Nimbus Equinox hub is pretty light with plastic pedals fixed to 114 Venture2 cranks. Runs with a Foss tube at 50psi. One concession is the mudguard (fender) because here in rainy Wales it does keep the water off my back and my seat.
