Ok these are all reposts but nice to see them all together in the same setup and with different weather conditions
My urban unicycles, loving to switch between them each day to explore the different possibilities of shorter and larger cranks and seatpost and wider or thicker tires.

I seam to enjoy building as well as riding unicycles but im not very good at selling them!
I brought a RGB frame a while ago which was going to be my freewheel frame but decided it was too pretty to be chucked around so i turned it into a fixed wheel.
RGB 27.5 frame ( improved brake mount for 203 rotors)
Raceface arc 35 rim 32h 27.5 ( white decals from silk graphics)
Schwalbe hans dampf 27.5 (set up tubeless)
Quax cnc hub
Quax 135 splined cranks
Quax eleven saddle
Shimano 8120 brake with 203 icetech rotor ( completely OTT but why not!!)
Blank metal pedals

I did bike to the beat (it is a bike event in my community to help raise money for our local homeless and food banks) I ended up going 50 miles on my 36er! Lots of fun!

This is my main wheel. I use it for Muni and distance.
It’s a Nimbus Muni 24”. I recently put on RaceFace Chester pedals. Just today, I finally added a brake! It’s a basic 2 piston Tektro brake with a 180mm disc and a KH lever mount.
Yesterday I broke the half marathon distance. Note: a duro wildlife is not the best tire for 13 miles of pavement😂.

I got a mail from Florian that he finally was able to find the time to assemble geared hubs this week. Guess my ordered hub should ship soon(-ish)? Not really sure I still need it, though, 'cause… 
…a while ago, my 29er has been tuned for speed! 
(still looking forward to the Schlumpf hub, though)

I have a work trip in Iceland, so I quickly packed the essentials.
I packed some clothes around the unicycle to protect it but … I suppose they’ll also be handy to … umm … wear? 
This year I wasn’t asked if I was a clown by the people at oversized baggage after I explained what was in the bag.
Shame, my experience of clowns is that they are awesome people.

Too big a wheel for a clown… You should‘ve taken a 20er, ideally a giraffe

I just setup my G36 for upcoming cycle packing event “Sydney to Summit”
Sydney to Mt Kosciusko
I allowed myself 9 Days.
Just added VCX cranks with 100/125/150 holes and replaced the rubber tube with Foss blue tube (TPU?) and took out the puncture resistant strips.
The wheel is now 370g lighter.
I may take a 29" rubber tube for backup.

Good luck! Your setup looks very well put together. I’m interested to hear how you fare on hills riding a carbon G36 loaded down with gear.
For comparison, this is the setup from my first Uni-Packing tour last August. As recommended by some, I just used what I have to start with. This was good to start with but lessons learnt include:
- Big sleeping bag on back really makes it hard to mount. [New one is half the volume.][also got silk liner & inflatable pillow]
- Sleeping mat on front could have been half the volume. [New one is 1/4 the volume]
- Don’t carry a spare set of cranks just because 110 is the normal commuting crank length. [Got VCX 100/125/150 crank]
- 2-man mountaineering tent still takes too much space in backpack. [Got Durston Mid-X1 with carbon small segment poles -really good reviews]
- No need for bulky (merino) jumper. [Got simple down jacket]
- Feeling of wet cycling bib shorts at end of day not nice, and not pleasant when camping. [Wear merino boxers, with well located seams under cycling bib shorts - tested well - with dry and quick drying feeling after long rides]
- MSR multi fuel stove is too bulkly [got a 100mm gas canister with screw in burner. 1/3 the volume]
BTW, the new setup is not carbon rim.
I have Favero Power Meters (pedal mounted) with 3D printed pedals (grain not ideal orientation) so I’m taking a spare set of kids pedals (light, no bulk)

Cro-moly Steel frame number 111…
With aero profile tubing…
Best decision I made!
Steel is real!
With the “home made” custom front extention aerobar, it may look ungainly without a brace.
I tried many iterations and this setup has been solid for the 4 years… of upds.
The long unsupported cantilever looks like it would break at some point. There is a steel tube (bath towel rail) inside the extension.
Although, I have just replaced two 8mm x50mm long stainless steel bolts holding the aerobars to the extension - they bent!
Weight of the current new setup (empty bags and water bottles) 12.5kg

I found this on the bookface for $50. Didn’t know there was a few unicycles hiding around town. Tire is worn down to the nylon in some spots but that’s cheap to replace, some spokes are slightly loose but still feels fine riding so I’ll just cheap out on get those trued and tightened at the bike shop and do it later. For some reason the inner tube steam was hidden inside the rim but otherwise fine, I don’t see any splits or punctures on it. I always wanted a silver 24" Schwinn uni, though I’m not gonna spruce it up to mint condition or anything just into good riding condition and leave it most as is as a beater of sorts.

Adjusting the spoke tension only costs you a few bucks for a spoke key and maybe half an hour worth of time, if you’re new to this. It’s kinda fun to do and not terribly difficult.

I recently finished building an amazing unicycle: G36
This was possible thanks to @paweloyama for the Schlumpf and @Maxence for the rim.
I got this custom frame from Quentin Dulac and it’s a build based on a KH36 frame.
Here is the beast:
