Anyone make a Giraffe with a 26" wheel

Unicycles and Equipment

I want a giraffe with a 26 or 29" wheel.
If I had one I would probably ride the giraffe more often, cause I would not be pedelin my butt off and not going anywhere

What you can do is gear up the unicycle to make it ride like a 26" or 29" or heck, however many inches you want! You can do all this just by changing the diameter of a gear! To make it near 26" you would need a wheel gear of roughly 75% the size of the pedal gear.

My giraffe has a 26 inch wheel, but it’s geared up to a virtual 48" wheel.

i have a homemade one… its a 24" wheel, but i’m too lazy to actually do teh math on how much of a virtual wheel it is… although the gear ratio is like five million to one… gotta get that fixed so i can actually ride it…

… number of teeth on wheel sprocket : number of teeth on crank sprocket.

wll, ok… i guess i should get my lazy butt down there and fix it so it does work… fine… huff complain, grumble-

i’ll post size in a few minutes to an hour.

Shouldn’t that be the other way round?
