Allright I’ve had a disc on my hub for years, probably the first ever on a schlumph. Also it’s on my old square taper so it is a great ride with a well modulated brake. Original 29er.
Don’t want to swamp this place with photos but there are more on instagram “mindbalance.cc”
I’m so amazed this has all finally come together and made for a stunning little geared 24” wheel.
Thanks of course goes to Florian and @jaco_flans for the core hardware - but also to all those that helped me resolve puzzlements over the (many) posts I’ve shared this last year
Thanks!… Yeah - thats the aim here (not) - but they do certainly make nice decorations round the house when not being ridden.
I’ve sometimes been asked when pushing a unicycle around: “Can you ride that?” - and if I’ve been in impish mood I’ve said: “Nah, I just like pushing them around ”
They both look amazing and you must be well pleased with them. Ive not really followed this thread as schlumpf is not a target for me, Im guessing the build of these has taken a while?
Thanks so much. I’m still pinching myself that they’re actually here and in-spite of some issues getting them set up I am very pleased how they turned out.
Started picturing these back in January 2022 when we learned that new hubs were coming. So yes they’ve been a long time in the grand scheme of things. I’ve never planned a unicycle build or project that took 1+ year and this is my first time going full custom with frame and wheel builds and all the other aspects.
But now the riding and using them starts and the serious challenges of riding high geared wheels shifts into a new space.
I want my skills at riding to always be greater than my skills at buying/assembling wheels. I confess to enjoying the latter but it (I feel) should always help develop the former - and one ideally doesn’t built unicycles just for their own sake.
Also I love your video on your builds! I love seeing other people nerd out about their unis. I hope they rode as nice as they look. As fellow person with expensive taste that should not be trusted with grown up money, high end unis are the best!
I like the solution with the Mad4one handle saddle and the noselees ism, but @canapin is there an option to dislike everything else on this post at this forum software?
Mine is an original schlumpf 29’er, I like the simplicity of having the best of everything in a compact easy to transport and ride, great look and upgrades.
