I fear my unicycle may be breaking. It’s one of those CyclePros, which seem to
be “the” unicycle that the typical bicycle shop carries. Where the right end of
the fork fits into the bearing, it seems if I tighten the bolts enough to stop
it from wiggling the slot will open up enough to worry me.
I’m starting to think of getting a new unicycle. Something with a 26" wheel,
that can support a lot of weight (me), and yet cheap. How do I go about finding
a unicycle?
One thing I did on my Zephyr (very similar to CyclePro) frame was to weld
washers over the holes where the bolts go in.
If you are in to building, the Cycle Pro can easily be turned into a 26" cycle.
Especially if you have mtn bike rims, tires, and cranks lying around. I’ve
broken two stock axles and one Semcycle Deluxe, but my Zephyr frame is still
going strong!

I’ve been very happy with the Pashley Muni that Unicycle.com carries. I’ve had
one for 3 years. They are great workhorses–especially when you consider their
low price.

“Pashley is the first manufacturer to mass-produce a MUni, and they have nearly
a century of cycle manufacturing experience. Pashley cycles are known as
workhorses in England, providing heavy-duty, reliable transportation for shops
and delivery services.”
I’m sure they must be talking about bicycles and tricycles. But I just love the
thought of delivery boys riding unicycles all over town! Of factories and
warehouses with unicycles scattered about for transportation around the
facility. Or a lab that offers courtesy unicycles to guest researchers.
Unicycle delivery service? Sounds like a marketing scheme!
