UnicycleTips.com - New authors welcome...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will continue to ride, I just plan to post less than my annoying old 4 or 5 per day! I don’t know how you put up with it.

The muni ride I went on last weekend did get me right back in the mood for regular riding. Since I (pretty much) stopped riding, the number of unicyclists in Brisbane has almost doubled so there are plenty of younger riders to teach bits and pieces to which is probably what I enjoy most these days anyway.

If I ever get my camera fixed you can look forward to videos of the talented new riders in the area. :slight_smile:

Max,
Wow…I’m surprised that some Melbourne bike trials riders know me. Or were you talking to Brisbane riders? They’re a friendly bunch aren’t they. The custom muni did eventuate, see the last two pages of this thread - Custom muni project... . I haven’t yet gotten around to tracking down good quality blue nipples nor a blue seatpsot clamp, and there is still an unacceptable amount of flex. For now I will put up with it and possibly go down to a smaller tyre (since I’m not interested in 6’ drops anymore anyway). We will eventually try to reduce the flex somehow…no doubt it will turn out heavier than I’d hoped though. It was a very fine line that I crossed with tube sizing. I think the flex to size comparison is definitely exponential because it’s only slightly narrower than my original custom frame which is fine.

Greg,
I’d love to meet you (and others) as well…maybe when Unicon comes to Australia! I keep telling myself I’ll make it out to a Moab Munifest one year. It looks like so much fun, and such a friendly atmosphere. It’s a shame Moab and New Orleans are so far apart…I’d love to ride Moab then see New Orleans’ jazz scene.

Ken,
I heard that you’ll be doing the Epic again this year didn’t I? Although I think I’m too chicken to join you, maybe I’ll find the time to come and watch and meet you in person finally.

Cheers,
Andrew
