I asked the other half for one of these for Christmas … Looks like it worked, as I had to take her to the Post Office to pick it up yesterday! (It wouldn’t fit through the letterbox for some reason )
Apparently the old lady behind the counter asked if it was a skateboard (!?) and when the other half told her it was a unicycle for her boyfriend, she asked “is he a clown?”, to which she replied “nope, he can’t even juggle!”
Had a lot of fun trying to get it into my modified Mini… It has bucket seats and harnesses so no chance of getting it in the back, in fact it’s a pain to get a small and flexible person in the back, never mind a hulking great box… In the end I wedged the mrs in there (no seats or seatbelts) and the uni safely in the front with me.
I’m not allowed to touch it until Christmas morning now, although I did sneak a peek in the box to make sure all the bits were in there. Those Qu-Ax’s have some really chunky looking parts!
I’m confused now… The box has two tickboxes on the side, one for “Cross” and one for “Muni”. The “Cross” one is ticked so I guess that’s right as per the description on UDC. Maybe they changed their packaging recently?
What exactly is the difference between cross and muni anyway? I know they’re different riding styles, but the unicycles themselves look the same to the untrained eye. Perhaps someone here can enlighten me…
Looking forward to trying out that massive tire - it’s the main reason I picked this over anything else. I live out in the sticks so it’ll be good to have something I can ride off road, as well as (hopefully) learning to do some tricks on.
