You are correct sir! it’s an old padded Yamaha grand bench that I had replaced with a new one, so I kept this one for my workshop.
Haha, shamless plug! I don’t sell any merchandise on my website or make a dime when people visit it, but it does serve to help motivate people to learn to ride, and also helps to promote our awesome sport! :D:)
You know Terry, 2 ads or so can create a good amount of extra $ to help pay for the site. People are used to ads for the most part, and I even run ad blocker programs, so I wouldn’t even see em anyways!
Well I’ve not done it before. But I always notice that ones by google ads are usually pretty minimal and they relate to the sites they are on. So a google ad on your page would have ads for unicycle.com or something you know?
Yeah, I haven’t really looked into anything like that yet, and really don’t have plans to “monetize” my website. It could be a possibility down the road though. I do have some “trade” deals where I might post a business logo in exchange for discounts and/or goods and services. And I put links to my sponsors since I get discounts from them. So it’s a Win Win!

Kb1kji are those clipless pedals?

Nope! maybe for mountainbiking, some have done that with unicycles… not me! and I don’t recommend it actually. these are MKS quick release pedals. they are flat pedals, very small cages actually, MKS does offer a larger platform model that I wish I got. the neat feature of these pedals is that the axle is like an air chuck and by moving a collar, the pedals pop off! I got several bases to stick in my dual hole cranks, and without tools I can move the pedals into different positions! I saw some one else do it in the forums and had to follow suit. I like the 125mm positions for the minuteman bike path, and the 150mm position for screwing around town.
It goes another 6" longer if I want, but the brake line is too short.
FTFY, sorry pet peeve.
just spent half an hour looking for my scale. Looks like 8.78 kg or 19.4 lbs
Not too bad I guess, especially for a 48 spoke wheel Moments and a long steel handle. My next heaviest unicycle is the geared 24 which weighs in at 7.18 kg. Man I am starting to sound like a weight weenie.
I am starting to get back into the road riding thing. I will have to get used to the 36 again then I think I will throw the bike seat on.
I wanted a MUniable 36 with a regular width hub. 48 is the way to go if you want both a stiff wheel and a skinny hub.
I did drill the outer wall of the rim. I can’t remember the weight savings but it was about equal to 12 spokes. Even with the rim drilled it is heavier than a 36 spoke wheel but the weight is more in the middle of the wheel and it should still be stronger.
I still get a bit of brake rub on the rough stuff but not too bad. Going to go with a disk as soon as I can to fix that.
