Biggest weight loss on your unicycle?

Racing Ralph 36 x 2.25

I recently spliced two old Racing Ralph 26 x 2.25 to make a 36 x 2.25, using this Tutorial.

The Racing ralph is about 800 grams in 36 inch, versus the 2000 grams of the nightrider.
Also changed the tube for a 29 er tube (250 vs 450 grams),

So a total weight saving of 1400 grams on the outside of the wheel.

Needles to say that this action totally transformed the ride.

I hope the tire holds, I have done 3 rides now and it is still OK, fingers crossed.:smiley:

Twente Muni, any pics of that tire? The process? Splice connections?

I can’t stop smiling with fascination that people will splice tires! So cool!

My weight is about 58kg, the biggest weight saving on the muni was changing the tube and the pedals (Wellgo Magensium). Sure changing the smoothness of the ride.
