Geared Giraffe?

Its been done…

@Shippy

would it be possible to make a geared giraffe unicycle? has anyone done it yet

Anyone used a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub?

I converted a SRAM 3 speed to a fixed 2 speed and installed on a 5 foot giraffe this spring. The SRAM is suppost to have a lot less slop in the gears (about 1 degree). Still very difficult to ride at first. See the article Converting the Three-Speed Sram Torpedo Hub to a Two-Speed FG Hub by Graham Webster. http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/articles/grahamwebster/grahamwebster1.pdf

I still have it. Several way to do it. This one has second gear locked up leaving 1st and 3rd with no freewheel on a five footer with shifter mounted below the seat on the seat post.
