I volunteer with a group that takes donated bikes that kids have outgrown, fixes them up, and gives them away again. This came in with the latest batch of donated bikes - a pretty nice old school Koxx 1 trials/street type uni. It’s from before my time, anybody know anything more about it? It’s from a previous generation vs. the e.g. “White Russian” and “Green Devil” that I remember being liquidated when I was starting to ride.
steel frame with stamped bearing holders
Koxx 1 ISIS hub and 140mm cranks, bearings slip on, not a press fit
Try-all rim, tire, and seatpost (27.2 seatpost shimmed to 29.2 to fit the frame)
KH fusion street gel saddle
Tire still held air, I was a little surprised. I put some pedals on it and rode it around. Kind of heavy but feels really solid.
That tire got some USE! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bald unicycle tire before. The King George tire on my 36er has almost 4k miles on it, and it’s still in better shape than that bad boy
I installed a new saddle bag on my 36er. The teethy part is a zippered expansion section. I’ve had a hard time installing saddle bags on unicycles, even ones with bike seats, since the seatpost angle doesn’t leave a lot of room back there.
To make it work, I used this cheap springy saddle thing and cut it in half to essentially make a rail extender. The solution was inspired by this post on an electric bike forum, which used the same thing for a slightly different purpose.
