BOING time!

That looks like an awesome custom handle set up :wink:

One day I might have a picture to add to this thread, in the mean time I’ll drool over everyone else’s :slight_smile:

They look awesome. Come on people. More pics. I’m feeling inspired :slight_smile:

I’ve got mine and my friend’s fatties! 2 of my 3 prototype frames, still holding strong :slight_smile:

We’ll see some more of these frames soon, more are in production :wink:

Here comes the Kraken !

Here is the list of parts (top down):
=> KH Muni saddle
=> KH seatpost
=> K1 light green single clamp
=> Flasberrium aluminium frame (big thanks to jaco_flans)
=> Surly Lou 26x4.8 tire (120tpi)
=> Duro DH tube
=> Jade Cycles Lil’ Fat rim (82mm)
=> Home-made green rim strip
=> DT Swiss spokes
=> UDC CrMo 32 holes hub

=> Odyssey Twisted pedals

Total weight: 6.4 kg / 14.1 lbs

Can’t wait to put this floatation device to the test :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Cool! What types of terrain will you be riding? Are you going to add a brake?

So you wouldn’t recommend this for road riding then, even at higher pressures? :slight_smile:

I can’t believe you use it for muni. Does the lack of traction pose any problems out on the trail?

Here are mine! 26x4" and 29x3"

I am not planning any steep mountain rides with it so no brakes in the near future.

For now I will focus on deep sand & gravel. must wait next winter to test it in all kind of snow.

I will also try it in conventional ride just for fum.

And if I am brave enough, I might go and ride in mud next fall :smiley:

so this incited me to weight my FrankenMuni -> 6.3 kg
I find my tyre to be heavy (when going down steep hills)
So FrankenMuni is for single tracks in the woods But not for long mountain rides

There must be more people with fat unis out there surely?? I thought they would be really popular. They look great.

I tried to ride at a high pressure. Unicycle is riding and controlling well on the road. But the main advantage of fatuni for which it was created - LOW pressure - is lost in this case. Tire bounces off obstacles like popcorn on heating and very susceptible to puncture!:frowning:

Tire goes well on dry coating. Snow and mud - no comment!:slight_smile:

I got Surly Nate!

Maxxis High Roller 26x2.70˝ and Surly Nate

Weight is impressive! %)

Thanks! Your uni looks awesome! Love the color scheme. How does it roll compared to your smooth tire?

Finally got my 24" fat freewheel back from the bike shop. The brake is a little too grippy so I need to make some adjustments. I also need to experiment with tire pressure.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

Much better! I LOVE my Fatty! :smiley:

A freewheel???!!! Please post videos. That’s going to be awesome.

the diggers latest …

Got my latest FUNI frame ready.
It’s an old Koxx TracMonster … modified.
There is clearance now for “5.something” :smiley:

Did my first real 4.8 ride today…love it :slight_smile:

Next thing is a brake and the Lou for the muddy season.

What color are the insides of your knees a couple days after a ride?

Red … Purple … Blue … Green … Yellow … :smiley:

Yep. There is some contact…but no big deal.
While sitting its no problem at all cause the knees are moving in front of the frame.
Riding in standing position bowlegs are usefull :slight_smile:
But its never realy a problem.
