we all enjoy the “Post Your <something> Here !” threads that make some nice galleries. There was a new category of unicycles that are rising now: the Fat unis.
The equipment is improving with years and it is easy to buy one on UDC
So let’s digg old pics or make new one and build another fine pics thread
The tire roll on the road quietly and gently, as if you go on the cloud but handling of unicycle monstrously falls because of the huge tire contact patch.
For muni! This tire has got me from the previous owner. I want to buy Surly Nate in the future.
Yes, but not when I took that picture (you can see his left foot is off the pedal, he’s in the process of bailing). Josh (Tulberg, not Schoolcraft) is getting some ridiculous air on downhill-facing ramps. (Well, Josh Schoolcraft may be, too, but as far as I know he’s still running a 3" tire).
I kept reading about the fat tires and seeing the pictures. I’ve been like Yeah, they look a bit bigger but not all that impressive honestly.
Today I’m walking through our Walmart and a 26" Mongoose bicycle with 4" wide tires is sitting there. HOLY CRAP, THEY ARE HUGE !
The pictures on here don’t do justice in showing just how big these things are. You need to take shots with items next to them for comparison. Put a beer/soda can or something so people who haven’t seen one in real life can see just how big they are.
I didn’t really care before, but now I think I need to get one.
