I’m planning on having a whole new uni made, so I’m open to new ideas. Would you
be able to supply me with exact specifications of your bearing holder so
whatever I have can be attached to it?

If I understand you, unless someone is using one of your frames, new bearing
holders would have to be made in either case. If that’s true, I prefer the first
larger tubing.

Any idea on cost? I want to build at least two unicycles for myself, and if it
works nice and is not too expensive, others may want them as well. I’m thinking
of adapting a suspension fork, but haven’t decided that yet. Have you done any
experimenting with suspension seatposts?
As long as I’m speculating, what’s the estimated cost of this new hub/bearing
system along with one of your carbon frames?
Thanks, John Foss
