Shorter cranks will further reduce the required length
Unfortunately, the advantage of shorter cranks stops at 0mm crank length - no negative lengths available as of today.
Thatās what they want you to thinkā¦

Who are they? Mathematicians? I donāt believe a word (I mean a term) they say - they have a track record of making up things that I donāt understand.

Hey I also still have those L and R stickers on my pedals of the 29". They have been there for 9 years when I bought it. Without them I wouldnāt know which foot to place on which pedal and I might end up backwards.
You can get negative length by turning the wheel 180 degrees. Then the cranks point the other way.
Alternately you can wear shoes with extra extra thick soles. Wasnāt there this other thread about wearing clowns shoes. You might look cool.
I do get that, I came to the same conclusion myself, I even practice this myself when unicycling! That said, it doesnāt really help a lot with regard to (too) short inseam. Itās fun though to rotate the wheel ~180 degrees every half revolution. In my opinion everyone should try this.

I did not say the night fox wouldnāt fit you Iām saying if you can ride the night fox you should be able to ride a uni larger than a 20 inch wheel . Your original statement was you are too short to ride anything but a 20 inch or a 36 night fox Iām not looking to argue Iām just saying you definitely can ride o larger wheel at the least a 24, When I was your age I was one of the smallest kids in my class and rode a 24 everywhere, everyday.
Good luck you will find your way, you just need to try some out. When you are an old fart like me you will own one in every size.

I would have a hard time deciding, but having travelled a bit around with different unis, one uni that I always miss when I travel without it is my 20āā Trials uni. So if I had no choice and I had to have only one, it would be that.
But I think itās easier to just have one of each instead of having to decide though

My 19" trials is my second most used uni, though for various reasons i am unable to do trials so its mostly used with short cranks on the road. As well as for traveling.
I would prefer a 24", even though all my uni needs could be met with only the 19".
But as you said, why limit yourself to only one!

I would go with my 29 flansberrium. It is lovely on light muni (I donāt do really hardcore downhill), good on the road, beautiful, has a marvelous brake, is light, has a really good rim / tire combo and is probably the kind of unicycling I enjoy the more (gravelish, and good to go out and explore areas. It only lacks a geared hub (I have one on my road uni, but the rim is not good for muni, and I havenāt yet found a good muni tire for it).

When I got a geared hub, I had it put in a KH26 municycle. I donāt remember if I got it from Unisalg.dk or Municycle.com in Germany. I thought the latter. They are still around, but Unisalg.dk closed down.
I decided though that geared uniās arenāt for me, so sold it again.
Those little stickers on the frame have saved us 1000s of problems! they stop us from getting customers building their unicycles wrong and the pedals coming loose. When we get a phone call from a customer who says that their cranks have stripped and we then find that unicycle they bought was from ebay or Amazon and had no L/R stickers on the components.

Those stickers are obviously of great importance to the unicycle world. After all a unicycle is not as self explaining as a b!cycle. Left / right, front / rear - everything is not as clear! (except for bottom / up). At first glance the untrained (opposed to unitrained) eye even has a hard time to tell which is the front part of the seat, and which the rear. Heck, a uni can even be ridden forwards or backwards; and itās not like rider and uni have to face the same way! They should indeed move in the same direction if a UPD is to be avoided, though.
So, yes, I understand that these little stickers are around, on unicycles and unicycle parts (even though pedals and cranks usually have an L or R stamped on them, and frames have the slit at rear). I just donāt understand why anyone would leave them there. 
f-pulse:
I have a Hunter frame (it will be part of an upcoming build) that has the frame-slit at the front, so it seems we canāt even count on that aspect being the same from unicycle to unicycle!

I was debating whether I should add a āgenerallyā or so, but decided against. Clearly a bad decision on my part. On the other side, its shape makes it pretty clear which way the frame should be used.
(And was it even shipped with those L / R stickers?)
Itās sad that your frame was obviously assembled the wrong way, thus rendering such a uni useless. You should just toss it. Actually, being a very generous person, I would even offer you a symbolic sum for the frame plus the costs to ship it to me. Whatdoyouthink?

I think you are being so generous that he should pay the shipping, actually.
Iām open to that. Actually I think thatās only fair, since I will already pay import taxesā¦
I think you put the frame on the wheel the wrong way though 
I made a couple munis with the slot in front, this way thereās less dirt and dust coming in the seattube

Legend has itā¦ That out there somewhereā¦ There is a unicycleā¦ With the frame slot on the side 
Just kidding, of courseā¦ Hopefully
