So, I guess it’s finaly time for a proper review, a few people already asked, I thought I’d do a review for everyone!
I stopped riding the fatty last week… No it’s not broken! No problems at all with it, everything was going as expected or better! The reason I’m not riding it anymore is that I only have my custom geared up 650B for my internship at Xprezo.ca! (Check out their bikes, everything is handmade at the shop in Bromont, Québec and it looks amazing)
Anyway, I had lots and lots of riding on it, it’s pretty much the only uni I rode since I build it. I rode it in lots of various situations starting with a fatbike race that was one lap pedaling like crazy on bumps, jumps, curves and drops. That was it’s first ride, it was really impressive! I finaly have everything I need for a unicycle frame, it’s light, it’s stiff (way stiffer than I expected) and I can’t hit my knees/legs on my frame!
The thing that was the most impressive to me was the stiffness of the frame. I used to get tire rub with my KH24 and my 3" tire, since this one has longer legs I thought it would be a problem and I would have to make a wider model. Turns out this is good!
I sold one to a friend, he’s also riding a fatty, but his has a Schlumpf, a KH T-Bar and a rack on the back. It looks insane. Saddly, I wont be able to post pictures since I’m doing everything on an iPod for the next 2 weeks. I also made my 650b just before leaving home for my internship. The design is the same but with straight legs and obviously, the crown isn’t as wide. I have the Schlumpf and the disk brake on it it works perfectly. There’s also another special feature that will be posted/reviewed in a few weeks. Hehehe
Hopefully I’ll be able to make a few different ones for Unicon! I would also like to make a Cr-Mo frame with fancy tubings, and a Ti… Lots of plans to come, I’ll keep you guys updated!
PM me for special requests, I’m open to custom builds
