I’ve just discovered how time consuming it is to remove the wheel from a Pashley
Muni. I hope I never have to change a tube on the trail.
Still, it made me wonder how long it’ll be before we see Roger Davies teaming up
with Mike Burrows to produce the first carbon fibre monoblade city unicycle.

I would love to see someone construct a unicycle out of a Cannondale
“Leftie” fork!

Re: The City Unicycle
Hi,
In a book called “Fat Tire” I found a picture of a unicycle with a one-sided
fork. I posted it at: http://www.geocities.com/Pipeline/Jump/5431/index.html
The uni is also equipped with a seatpost shock, brake, and handlebars.
Unfortunately there was no info on the uni in the book, only the picture.

on my last visit to our local bike shop to buy new pedals for my uni, I saw a
Cannondale with a one-sided fork and said “wow, I wonder if you could do that to
a unicycle?”. well, i guess they did. I suggest that anyone who hasnt looked at
it yet go check it out. VERY cool!

Woah. Please post pictures! Or somebody please send them to me and I will add it
to my aging Garage Page.

Not Mike Burrows but a student called Benoit Billet at Plymouth University doing
composite engineering. He manufactured a single sided unicycle last year for his
final year exams. It did work although flexed a little bit I believe. It was at
EJC last year.

Re: The City Unicycle
Erm who would want one… not me, the forks occasionaly stop my legs from
getting ripped to shred on the tyre (surely everyone has a knock-kneed position
sometimes). Besides on a Pashley wouldn’t it be easier to fit 4 thin quick
release bolts through the frame and fixing?.. or would they bash the cranks?

For just that job I tend to carry a small ratchet ring spanner to fit those
bolts when on Trailquest type events. It speeds the job up Hugely when compared
to useing an AJ and leatherman. However, I’ve never yet needed to change a tube
mid competion, and have got away with repairing punctures every time, even
repairing a gashed tyre mid event on one trailquest.
