My current N36 with t7/ airfoil- but with KH/shlumpf isis hub and dual drilled moment cranks. Oh…i guess some life insurance wouldn’t go to far astray.

Wouldn’t it be so fine if an unicyclist engaged to be married could open a gift registry account at unicyle.com !! It sure beats buying dishes. It would be even better if his/her fianceé didn’t mind!
Mine:
KH36 frame
KH Geared Hub
125/150 or 137/165 double-drilled cranks (ordered both :P)
Nightrider tire (a pound lighter than my TA!)
New Nimbus Stealth Pro rim (a tinge lighter than my Airfoil)
Some random brake (who cares, if it works)
T7
WORKING Speedometer/odometer
and w00t! I’ve already ordered the hub and cranksets, will be getting the frame soon, got my brake, T7, KH seat already… will be good to go except for the nightrider!
You guys need to reach for the stars in your dreams!
Give me a 29er with a continuously variable transmission built into the hub, wirelessly controlled from my handlebars. I’d also love an auto-inflation system that’d allow me to air my tire up or down on the fly.
Give me a seat with maglev capability that allows my a$$ to hover ever so slightly above its surface. I don’t care if I need magnetic chode implants for this, I’ll do it!
Give me a handlebar that, at the flip of a switch, goes from “silly putty” consistency to rock-solid, so that I may re-mold it as I please from day to day. I know there’s some polymer out there that would fit the bill!
While we’re at it, could I have a frame that emitted enough light that I could see my way on the trails?
We’ve already covered the topic of adjustable-length cranks. Just give 'em to me in the remote-control form.
Make the whole package weight about 10 lbs., tops. I’ll make it easy… it doesn’t have to fold for storage or transportation.
As for accessories, I’m happy with my skate-style helmet, KH gloves and Fox armor. Just make 'em a little more breathable, eh? Of course, one of those $1k helmet-mounted lamps wouldn’t hurt.
On the fly adjustable full suspention. Crank the rebound damping down for riding and drops, then way up for jump height.
Powerful, but not too grabby brakes.
Wallis seat w/ ambidextrous handle.
Strong, light frame.
Lots of carbon fiber and rare, light metals.
The semi-real world:
A profesional grade EMS unit (looking at one for $1000) or EMS 40000R (I missed out on a 400R for $80 on e-bay )
-for the paralysis in my legs

Muni: KH (24/26?)

The endomorph is doing quite well on paved roads, provided it has enough pressure. So you may want to inflate or deflate it somewhat if you change from offroad to asphalt or vise versa. For road riding I use about 35psi, for offroad riding, I deflate it to about 15 to 20psi. For me that worked quite well up to now. But, as mentioned below, I don’t have too much experience by now.
On the endomorph road behaviour: you need to get used to it, as it feels a little bit wobbly, especially when turning. I think that is the result of the enormous width of the tire, as it takes a lot to tilt it. After an hour or two on that tire it feels quite ok, and there’s not too much friction when riding. With one exception: the tire will slow you down in curves.
BTW: is there any special intention in Surly way to name their parts? Just look at my unicycle: I now have a surly conundrum with an endomorph smurf (that’s the meaning of the German term Schlumpf; in that case of course it’s just the last name of Florian Schlumpf, the builder of the hub) in the middle. I am lucky, most of my mates don’t now about the naming, or at least don’t know the meaning of that vocabulary.
i know this is an old thread but i like to wake up old ones every now and again.
