mine is a chrome nimbus w/90’s. a red “wall” tire stock pedals and yea…
I never actually understood the idea of having a uni for exclusively doing freestyle on. Is the attraction that it’s lighter and easier to do spin tricks on?
Sure for WW tricks it’s easier to have a wider tyre? (ie a trials wheelset)
Or is it because these tyres mark indoors…:S
no man jamessdd…
freestlye unis have shorter cranks so u can go faster, and also its easier for tricks like wheelwalking and seat-drop riding and sif riding because long cranks make the uni rock sideways a bit more… hard 2 explain but i hope u get it
Yes I understand about the cranks, I knew there was something I forgot about…
but I’d still rather just buy some shorter cranks for my street/trials uni
But I still don’t get the wheelwalking thing.
For wheelwalking, James, I think he meant that…
well, try this:
spin your trials uni’s wheel whilst holding the seat in the air. There is definitely gonna be loads of side-to-side twisting and turning force. Even more noticable with longer cranks.
So essentially wheelwalking and coasting/gliding are like doing this but on the ground… so the longer your cranks, the more the wheel wants to wiggle side-to-side. Taking the pedals off reduces the side-to-side wiggle almost completely, but you don’t wanna do that now do ya?
Unless you had some weird wheelwalking fetish, in which case you could take of your cranks too lol.
Nice, I remember seeing that back when I was a newbie. Who is the HSG then, does anybody know?
Another thing about freestyle unicycles is that you have a tire that can have a larger PSI than a trials tire, so it has far less rolling resistance and things can just flow more easily.
wheel walking is so much easier on a freestyle uni for me.
not sure why, but on a skinny tire it is definitely nice imo.
Nearly the same as the nimbus X above just chrome, 90mm cranks, red tire, KHE Stimulator pedals (for hockey) and an old udc seat (like nimbus just with unicycle.com on it)
