Fastest speed on a unicycle

John,
Because I had absolutely no clue that you could change the number of posts per page. That’s news to me, but hey, I’ve only been frequenting this website for 3+ years. So next time someone gives you a page number, multiply it by 15 and that will put you in the post number ballpark.

Hugo,
Nice work. Now who wants to take it to the next step and graph out the results like what was done earlier in this thread, say around pages 5 and 10?:stuck_out_tongue:
Although I highly respect unicycle nerdery, I rarely engage in it myself. I’m a free loader, basically.

Geoff

Likewise, I lack the attention span. I absolutely love it though, I too would appreciate another graph :slight_smile:

Short answer: MR :astonished:

I think that’s true, but I don’t do that. For the purpose we’re talking about, it just means listing that number. Then people can find it by scrolling up and down the thread.

Yah.

15 or 20? Which is the default? And why multiply pages by an unknown number (if the users don’t know how many posts per page they’re seeing), only to arrive, if you’ve done it right, at the number that’s already labeling each post? C’mon you guys…

BTW, this is post #294.

15 puts you in the ballpark as naturequack correctly states. My formula, while slightly more complicated, is more accurate for higher page numbers. The default number of posts per page is 20.

You can’t blame any user to leave the default as it is and then quote page numbers which are so conveniently displayed. It’s the easy way. If one chooses to change the number of posts per page and prefers to look up post numbers rather than page numbers, it’s useful to know how to convert one to the other. It’s an approximate conversion though, since a (default) page contains several posts.

Why don’t you just reference the exact post, using a link.

For example, this goes directly to the post containing my excel file and you see the surrounding posts.

BTW, this is a bit OT.

Or…

add to the list if you feel inclined…

21.53 Mph, Kaycee Stevens, Orono Maine, KH 29 Guni, 150mm

I’m surprised most of these aren’t faster… the fastest speed ive recorded, and the only, was when i was going next 2 a bike on a KH 20’ and the bike rider was going 16km/h. is that even possible i was going as fast as i could pretty much

Yours is a good speed on a 20" but not exceptional. Mind you that the table states miles per hour.

New top speed for me! And this time on MY Coker:p

i hit 14.2 mph on my kh 26 with 125mm cranks. cant wait till i get my 36er put together.

My top speed on a 36" Nimbus (disc) Impulse using the 110 hole of my 125/110 dual hole Moments cranks was 16 mph. I won’t add my name to the bottom of the list. I’ll wait until I get my KH36G so I’m not dead last. I did however want to share the picture.

Got some safety gear covering all the patches of skin that were damaged during the last couple of weeks and found out how it affects my riding. Turned out it boosted my average riding speed by 2km/h and I got a new max speed.

20.62 km/h on a Siegmono Touring 26" with 100mm cranks.

You found out one of my early secrets! I figured this one out in my first year of training for unicycle racing, 1980. Since then, when I’m wearing pads I almost never fall on them (excludes MUni). :slight_smile:

Went for my first real ride on a G29, and got a nice new top speed.

Nice, Scott! Some of us are a little scared of you getting geared for racing!

I’ve realised I don’t have a geared speed in here. I’ll add my 41.5kph/25.8mph. It was still pretty controlled, which is the big difference from such speeds ungeared!

Yeah, I was kind of in control on the G29 at that speed, but at the same cadence on a G36 I think I would have felt totally out of control… (the same cadence would be 32mph on a G36 :astonished: ) Right now I’m borrowing the G29 from a friend to train/practice since my hub is still on the way :frowning: but I’m really excited on get comfortable on a G36.
