Just built up my girlfriends and my trials unicycle! standard 200 dollar 24 inch uni, unlaced the wheel, built up a 19 inch monty rim on it, plus the monty tyre, monty cranks and a nice set of peddles!
Maaaaate! its hell nice, already i can jump up a foot and a half on this thing!
One thing though, im using butterfly nuts on the bearing retention bolts as a means of a quick(er) release for changing tyres, anyone done this before? did it last?
James from perth!
butterfly bolts are faster,untill they brake in your hand…this is what prompted Tullio Campagnolo to invent what is now known as the quick-release
James, Uh? did you say Monty cranks? Aren’t they 158mm! They must have
VERY little ground clearance.

yep, its pretty tight
the cranks are pretty close to the ground, but, what else can you use?? ive had about three sets of steelies and theyve all stuffed up! I had a set of spare monty’s for my trials bike kicking round so i shuved them on, kinda sketchy round tight corners at high speed, but not to bad, sides, id rather hop up something!
