Post a picture of your Schlumpf(s)

That looks like the beginning of a lot of fun. Gear up and share your photos once you’re riding it. Just a tad envious/jealous, but in the good warm-hearted unicycle way.

I justified all this as my mid life crisis spend. I reckon I only got a couple of decades left to really enjoy it.
By the way have a look at the tee bar I got made for the aerobar set up.

This wheel was beautifully built by @rogeratunicycledotcom (and co) - and it’s assembled very nicely :star_struck:

The frame was also very tidily filed down for best fitment:

I’m totally cog-nisant of my excess in this department - I have been captured not only by the unicycle n+1 rule, but also by geared unicycling. As mentioned before, I have no car, don’t do holidays, and these represent my life focus / passion that I don’t see dwindling in the future :gear::heart:

As soon as the rain stops I’m going to take this for a decent test ride :smiley:

This is my LAST💰unicycle project for ages!!! For anyone who may meet me at Unicon21 you’ll see me eating solely bread and water as I plan to now retreat to riding with my economy diet until 2030 after my hub-centric profligate year+ :sweat_smile::heart::gear:

(And in the above build - yes the V4 clears fairly well with two sets of spacers. With the provided 1mm thickness - it cleared but was a bit too close for comfort. Really want the 220 rotors as those would be ace!)

How come you have built 2 G36ers? I thought I had just seen you build the same a few weeks back?

One for road and the other for muni? :grin:

Yes I know. It is doubly excessive :see_no_evil:

I had debated with myself as to whether I’d share/admit to this fourth build - but then I felt if I ‘hid’ it I’d not be authentic to myself or where my interests are moving - and it would likely as not leak out in another thread where I ask a question about some hub / wheel fitment or elsewhere when testing a new brake rotor.

So yeah I decided to throw caution to the wind and admit to my addiction and the consequences of it in this latest and final geared build (and risk the views of others that I’m flexing or bragging or just down right crazy)

And yes:

Maxcence has it. The 125mm hub G36er is a workhorse one, more muni and has that heavy wheel feel.

The carbon one is for road or racing and is the one I’ll most likely take to Unicon21 provided I am match fit by 2024 (which I am working hard to be)

So as mad as it seems there is a Felix logic to it all :star_struck::gear:

Personally I’m not in the market for another but hats off to you; I wouldn’t mind having more Schlumpfs around the house.

For these later ones did you just order them from Florian? I thought the previous model ones were stockpiled a little bit but didn’t think that was the case for the new ones

No these two for the G36ers came from an original order via UDC UK. I tacked on the 32h hub later on when I “cracked” for the idea of a Braus rim wheel. The long wait made this feel more possible I guess.

Ordering from Florian happened as I was eager to be in on an early order. These direct order hubs are fine in my view, but I did in some ways pay the price of being an early adopter.

So I don’t really have a huge preference where I order from. For 36ers the advantage was I didn’t really want to entrust the building to someone who didn’t know the wheel size. They were also the supplier of the Braus rim and spokes so it was just easier. And tax and duty in the hubs weren’t my concern.

I do wonder if Florian has any stockpiles of these in his workshops. It seems likely you’d make 5-10% extra orders as demand will be there.

Now my duty is to ride the heck out of them all for the next 30-40 years :grinning::muscle:

Haha. No judgement here; I’d have the same if I could. In fact you are probably doing all the rest of us all a favour; because when I go to add a 3rd uni to my collection, and the wife says something like “3 unicycles is quite alot isn’t it?!” I can quite truthfully assure her that 3 unicycles is actually very few indeed :sweat_smile: There’s an absolute genius show called ‘Detectorists’ (you may have seen it?) and this here is one of my favourite scenes that I think sums up our uni obsession pretty damn well;

I’ll have a similar setup when my Flansberrium frame will be ready! Would you mind giving reviews when you’ve tested it?
