Crank sizes for 29er to equal a 36er

@scotthue

off topic, where can you get 50mm or 65mm cranks?

You can get cranks in 50mm 55mm 60mm in Japan but they cost $57

I’ve done many many 1 hour rides, and a few 1.5 and 2 hour rides, on 28 and Coker, flat out, no stops, no dismounts, and deliberately pushing as hard as possible, and so far I have never maintained the same average speed over 1 hour that Paula Radcliffe maintains when running an entire marathon distance. And she’s only a girl…

What was that about Paula Radcliffe’s snickers?

Fastest times for the Marathon on a unicycle is around the 1hr 30min mark. Fastest times for men running a marathon is just over the 2hr mark. Go figure.

Yeah, the only time I’ve ever come first in a running race is when I entered on a unicycle. 32 minutes compared to the runner’s 42. Was a 12km, not a 100% smooth track, including one bit that made me crash. There are some people out there who have gone way faster than me over that kind of distance (not to mention the rollerbladers in that race, who did 12km in something around 20 minutes which is pretty insane)
