gears/wheel on a unibike...

Hi!

After my first training month on a 24", I am considering to take a step(!)
further (especially because I plan to commute with it as often as possible) by
finding a bigger wheel and/or adding gears to the unibike. The problem is that
for regular unibike(e.g non-giraffe) there are no commercial unibike with gears
you could change. Does anyone know where it is possible to find that kind of
gears/how it is possible to adapt it to a regular unibike? I was also wondering
what different benefits would come from a) a bigger wheel(28" or cocker,
typically), b) a 24" with a gear ratio and c) the bigger with a gear ratio(this
one I do not consider it at the time, but I was wondering… :slight_smile: )
Ideas/suggestions anyone?

TIA

Re: gears/wheel on a unicycle…

Two recomendations:

  1. Get a Coker if you want to commute/go far/go fast - don’t waste time
    fooling around with gears & chains.

  2. ‘Unibike’ doesn’t sound good in English. Uni=one and Bi=two. Just call it a
    cycle, a uni or a unicycle.

                              Good luck,
                                Nathan
