i have a 24 inch generic uni and i want to create a custom unicycle fer long distance riding, i was wondering if there was any recommended reading/ tutorials on custom building unis. i know crank size bearing and yoke size effects ur ride and i want it to be clost to perfect and im sure theres many other things to “adjust your ride”
any help is helpfull…
unicycle.com is a useful site for getting parts. You’ll want a bigger wheel for long distance riding. It takes a lot of pedaling to go far on a 24".
There’s some information about unicycle parts here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Unicyclopedia.
Try posting specific questions in rec.sports.unicycling. That’s where a lot of people congregate. You’ll get more answers in there.
Thanks thats an awesome article cant believe you located it
I’ve seen that article pop up here before.
The distinction between building and assembling your own unicycle is a bit hazy, which one do you want?
assembling most likely since i dont have a machine shop but eventually building, but i could build a few parts i really just want to mix match parts and find a high speed effiecient uni
