Post Your 36er Here

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!

Haha, but I don’t pay for it. :smiley: And what kind of “ads” are you thinking of?

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! :smiley: :sunglasses: :slight_smile:

Terry, what size cranks are on your 36er? I noticed the pedals were in the short position, do you switch the pedal positions often?

I keep it on the 110 holes and can’t remember the last time I used the 125’s.

I’ve gotta tap some Sinz for 110mm, hmmm…

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.

Do you ever hit your foot on the other pedal mount? or is it not an issue?

so far, so good dude. we’ll see!

All ready for spring

KH freeride saddle
long handle with end from T7
Magura brakes
KH adjustable seat post
KH36 frame
TA tire, 50% tread removed in checker pattern
Coker rim, outer wall drilled
48h Nimbus hub
137/114 Moments
snafu pedals

This thing is really heavy compared to my other unicycles, I might have to do something about the tire…

You could drill out the cranks a bit as well. And damn that bar is long!!

Nice Bull Horn! :stuck_out_tongue:

How much does it weigh?

Looks about right to me, but I like stretching out in front.

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. :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

Why the 48 hole set up? Strange choice for a weight weenie :slight_smile:

Sam

Some things are worth the weight.

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.

My new 36" Kris Holm unicycle “Wadlow”. I had to cut 6" off the seat post but luckily I’m no shorter than I am.
