What's on your uni-wishlist?

General

Fixie refers to the non-freewheeling drive train, not being fixed into one gear. It happens that multi-gear, not-freewheeling, drive trains are hard to make so they’re damned rare.

17

I have been fortunate enough to get most of the things that have been on my wishlist a long time so now it is more just odds and ends.

My wishlist:
29x2.4 Ardent
26x3.7 Larry
Nice hydraulic calliper and lever (I have the disk already)
Bearing cap disk calliper mount (then another calliper and lever, obviously)
26x50mm Uma II in 36h drilling
strong, light, wide, low-profile pedals
good MTB riding boots.

One of these days I’d really like to get a proper Trials unicycle. The one I have was discarded by Chris Reeder in 2002; needless to say it wouldn’t be considered a Trials at all by today’s standards. And the tire fell apart so I can’t bend the cranks or break its Suzue hub anyway…

I’d also like a decent Ultimate Wheel and a nice Bedford BC Wheel. The ones I have are kind of pre-historic. :slight_smile:

And I think it would be fun to have a walking machine; one of those giraffes that you pedal, and it drives two legs that walk. And one of those self-balancing, electric unicycles to play around with. And a 24" or 26" KH Schlumpf for the dirt. And, and…

19

a trials bc wheel sounds fun!

20

Is this a fantasy wish list or something we might actually be able to get w/in say, the next year?

:thinking:
A BC wheel has no way of being powered (except for gravity and your foot on the ground like a skateboard) and therefore no need of gears.

21

Whatever you want it to be =)

A realistic update:

I need a KH freeride saddle, a seatpost, and a QR collar for my 29 I’m building. That’s all it needs to be complete! I had to steal a seat and a post off my 24 for it haha

22

Likely: a 24" Nimbus Muni frame to replace the broken one on my DX (using a LX frame atm).

Fantasy:
KH 24 frame (use it on my DX for street, and spare Muni)

KH 24 geared Muni w/ Magura brakes, and 165/137 cranks, drilled for less weight
KH trials longneck w/ Impact Everest cranks and Ti hub.
Both w/ CF seat bases, and Echo Ti TR pedals

23

Oh man I totally forgot about the GUWII, too bad the pics disappeared from the Gallery. I might have to dig them up and re-post.

My wishlist - updated and re-organized:

Nice hydraulic calliper and lever (I have the disk already)
26x50mm Uma II in 36h drilling
strong, light, wide, low-profile pedals
26x3.7 Larry
Bearing cap disk calliper mount (then another calliper and lever, obviously)
good MTB riding boots.
29x2.4 Ardent
GUWII
And for the postal system to hurry up (waiting for a GUni)

EDIT: and for Surly to make a 29x3.7 Larry assuming I like the 26" version. :slight_smile:

24

Haha, I didn’t think I needed to include a :wink: and/or a :stuck_out_tongue: when I posted that. I guess I should have! :smiley:

Wish list

I’d like to get more time to ride. Where can I shop for that?

26

How about a UDC on every corner, like Starbucks?! It’d be nice to have them close by, so you could just walk in and get what you need, when you need it, without waiting or paying for for shipping. They need UDC franchises! One in every city! Yeah with so many people clambering to buy unis, that would be a great business investment! I can see unis flying off the shelves and you couldn’t keep them in stock! :roll_eyes: Well, maybe one day in the [distant] future. But by then, we will have probably evolved into pure energy! :sunglasses:

27

+1 (i’ve got already a perfect muni-, trial-, street- and road uni)

28

My wish list:

> Ti hub for my 26"
> Schlumph equipped wheel set for my 26"
> 110mm moments
> A pump track and a trials area in my backyard
(…which is the size of a portaloo so this one is fantasy he he :roll_eyes: )
> To be the best muni rider in the universe (guess what category that fits in!;))

:pDONATIONS WELCOME:p

29

My wish list:

  • A 36er (in the works)

I really wish:

Surly Muni
A friend to uni with here in Augusta!

31

Up dated list.

  1. 26x3 muni with a kh seat and brakes
  2. 36er isis
  3. isis hub.

  1. KH Trial (scheduled for June)
    Not necessarily in that order:
  2. 24" Muni with Schlumpf hub (no funding)

I’d also like to test a Triton frame.

Visiting this place makes me dream of expensive things.

33

Fusion Freeride Air Saddle.
I’m big on distance riding.

34

I wish:

for more riding buddies

and a three speed disc brake compatible Schlumph :slight_smile:
