That looks yummy, I need a new break super bad mine is not surviving the torture.
I got a elixir 1
From your picture the rotor looks like center lock rotor that wouldnât work with the spirits???
I completed the migration of my 29er to a good commuter (while still keeping the MUni mojo).
This setup isnât for weight weenies as it is 6.9kg/15.2 lbs as pictured. But a great ride thanks to the Nimbus handle bar + old-school V-Brakes.
And the dual Moment makes for an easy switch to MUni when necessary (in addition to dropping the handle bar).
Parts are common except the Magura-to-VBrake adapter I found on eBay (to save me from having to prototype something).
Nice, thatâs quite a parts combo.
Disk Brakes
Just finished putting a mountainuni.com rotor and Shimano M596 brakes on my Muni. So far it has been working great! Does anyone have any tips on using the disk brake?
yep, just received the spirits and this is the case⌠this sucks 
Also got the hub today, just to find out the holes in the hub are too small for my spokes 
not one of my best days, really⌠The latter problem I can probably fix tomorrow though with some careful and ever so slight widening with a drill.
Fortunately chainreactioncycles have pretty decent return system and the only part I need to return is the disk and I can buy a replacement from my LBS so thatâs no big deal. TBH, I really didnât even realize there were different types of disk centres 
E: or in the other hand, I could just keep the disk (it didnât cost too much) or sell it locally.
What on earth are the spokes? 14G is normal, but a standard hub should also take 13G spokes (which are fatter than 14G). Iâd really recommend getting different spokes rather than messing with the hub.
i am working on rebuilding my street 26, I killed my rim and hub
What do you mean the spokes wonât fit?
Something is wrong, the holes should be drilled for up to a 13ga spoke.
Do not drill the hub spoke holes, that is a bad idea for many reasons.
Contact the retailer and see what they say, it may be that powder coating clogged the holes or they were misdrilled somehow, or your spoes are whacked.
Or my spokes are 12ga 
Iâll email udc today and hopefully get this figured out soon. Too bad there are not any 36er compatible spokes in any bike shops nearby 
Got this from Roger at UDC. Itâs not far from working right now already though, I can get the spokes about 1cm in so the widening I need to do is quite minimal.
5â giraffe unicycle from parts
iâm currently building a 5â giraffe unicycle from 1 BMX, 1 bike and some parts from the unicycle.uk.com and ebay
im buying the frame, cranks and spokes from unicycle.uk.com
im also buying a âfront disc brake hubâ from ebay
il post pictures later as i am building it hopefully
wish me luck on my 1st wheel build
Looking forward to see that! I did my first wheelbuild a year ago and figured itâs not too hard, just really time consuming to get it nice and true (for a first timer)
Building wheels makes me hate life, I try to not build them often
it gets a bit frustrating every now and then though for me the building itself isnât that bad but the truing is a whole another storyâŚ
Here she is! Looks a lot like a stock KH though⌠Itâs just waiting for the t-bar and some final tuning and tweaking 
I rode it to have to say that the shorter (down to 110 from 150) cranks make a HUGE difference! There was no saddle soreness at all, even without handlebars and a lot less side-to-side movement. The brake (well, just the disc) is coming next week!
Cool! Is that a Quax rim? Where did you get it?
First post here, first unicycle project⌠So I found this lonely looking Sun unicycle in a second-hand store for a negligible price, and having seen Redâs Dream a few times, I felt like it needed a nice home. I liked the look of the wide white stripe tire and itâs a nice step up in size from the 20" Iâve been learning on.
It seemed mostly ok except that the crank arms were loose. I hoped that all it needed was to have the nuts tightened, but when I got it home I found that the crank threads were destroyed and the nuts were jammed in place on them. And as I gooned them off, one of the threaded stubs snapped and half of it came off inside the nut.
No problem, I thought. I hacksawed the rest of the stubs off the hub, took the wheel apart, then got a pair of crank arm fixing bolts, an M8x1.0mm thread tap, and a 9/32" drill bit (close enough to 7mm for twist drill purposes) and turned it from a âheâ hub into âsheâ hub. I wouldnât call it an economically justifiable repair except that Iâve already bought tools and I look for things to do or else feel bad about not using them. It was good skill building practice, and the anxiety level was low because it was all junk already so there wasnât much to lose at worst.
While the wheel was apart, I shot a couple of coats of red paint onto the rim for a little bit of a retro/rat-rod look. I like how it goes with the wide whitewall and it seems more cheerful. Some shopworn but serviceable rubber block pedals continue the theme.
I just rode it for the first time. The 6" cranks need quite a bit more commitment than the 5" ones Iâve been using on my other uni, but it seems good so far.
