unibikeling:
I was reading about the Guwi, and i began to think back to summer. I had read a few times and read other threads, about full suspension unicycles. Mostly just plans. I decided that at some point (now the near future) that i’d buy 3-5 rock shocks, and mount them in a rim. I had it all solved. 5 shocks probably, so the rim doesnt taco totaly. And then each has pivots in them, on the rim, so it will be able to move when the tire does. The frame would need to be entirely custom built, as to acomidate the tire. I’d end up using the back tire off an enduro motorcycle, which the the rim would be just stiff enough not to taco, and a frame that would give a few inches of freespace between tire and frame. Either that, or i’d take like 7 smaller shocks, and mount them in like a 24’’ rim. It wouldnt taco as easily, that in itself would work fairly well. Well, care to add suggestions? lol, post any further ideas. and I KNOW THAT THERES a thread like this, but this is my ideas on it. And im also planning to do this at some point, and maybe bring her to mondo
You would have to have one of the shocks mounted solidly to reduce windup (able to completely eliminate The best working prototype I’ve seen . If you use 3 shocks + spokes like the second in there you wouldn’t taco the wheel, plus lighter and prob less expensive.Full thread.
