schlumpf

It works just fine if you type “schlumpf” into that search box (not sure what was wrong with the link). It should do, as it just uses a custom google search! Amongst the links on the first page of results is one to this definitive thread for anybody with a few hours to spare:

I have a G29 which is what I learned on, and tend to agree that actually learning to shift is a lot easier than learning to ride from a standstill in high gear - or at least for me now shifting is straightforward whilst even just riding at speed in high still isn’t totally comfortable, riding at low speed in high is downright difficult.

I have to admit I can’t do any of the first few items on John Foss’s list - but I can cope with the slight freewheel during a shift on a Schlumpf. Contrary to other advice, it feels to me that leaning forwards is a bad idea - I feel it works best when my weight is right over the axle as it would be if I was trying to freewheel (if I could do that - well actually clearly I can cope with a brief freewheel). I’m fairly sure the answer, as with all things unicycling, is simply to practice more.
