It’s a big old tyre that’s for sure…however, I’ve put about 40psi in it to start with to find a happy halfway house between reducing friction and absorbing the bumps. Makes it harder to bunny hop when I’m mounting though…I must feel like bwrightback
I may remove the metal pins from the pedals…not sure these are really needed for road riding.
Only thing to be careful of is that the tyre will slip very easily on muddy ground. Went flat on my face a week ago due to leaving the footpath to avoid a flood.
As the waters have receded at my local nature reserve I took my 24"Muni and Mr Jussi for a circuit and a swim (Jussi had the swim, not my Muni)…
Followed this with a ride to the shops on my new 29er (no mud). It flies on the road but my god it feels the lumps and bumps on the paths. Weird swapping from 24"/150mm to 29"/138mm but I’m getting the hang of it.
I envy you this muni and Tenerife trip… so I hopped on my uni and rode away… Away turned out to be more away than I expected and I did 40km. http://www.strava.com/activities/115517212
View in the direction of Krakow from somewhere at the north end of the trip.
A reporter for the Bellingham Herald took this picture on the morning commute to work today. They usually don’t see me much. Today work was delayed two hours so I got to ride in the light of day instead of 0dark:30.
For some people, unicycles just aren’t crazy and difficult enough I wonder if he was geared-up too, I see the schlumpf but obviously don’t know if it’s up-shifted…
Here’s a 50sec video from some recent riding in Phoenix with Tomas, Steve and Carol. Amazing terrain they have there, definitely need to beef up my pad collection before riding there again.

It has been a long cold winter here in Maine. At first I tried to avoid riding on ice. Now I enjoy the challenge. This is one of my favorite places to ride. It has miles of nicely paved roads, dirt roads, and single track through woods. Now I go here to ride on the ice. Unfortunately, they have been putting sand down and making it too easy. No studs, just the stock 2.5 inch Dissent that come with the Nimbus Drak. And on a cold day like today there is hardly a soul around.
