Terry, you frikkin' animal!

instant classic.Thanks so much! :D


Terry, you frikkin' animal!Haha, I love it! :D

I learned to ride a wheel the summer between third and foruth grade (1973). I once rode 22 miles before falling. I belonged to the Pontiac Unicyclists but now I'm old and envious!

"old"? Haha, I guess that makes me a fossil by comparison! I was already about to graduate high school 1n 1973! :cry: I hope you will start riding again!

wow, do you have any joint injuries from unicycling?

Very cool. Can you tell me about the gear you use? Did I see two different size tires there? What size? Are you running a regular 26" mountain bike front wheel on a mountain bike fork or is it special made for uni? Do you use suspension or is it all rigid?

Are you running a regular 26" mountain bike front wheel on a mountain bike fork or is it special made for uni? Do you use suspension or is it all rigid?My Main MUni (Mountain uni) is made by Kris Holm, and it's a 24" rim, and 24x3 intense DH tire. Also a magura hydraulic brake, thomson seat post, carbon fiber seat base and lift handle. Speedplay drillium pedals, KH/Isis splined hub and "Moment" splined 150mm cranks.

Much of these things are upgrades plus I run a 65mm wide Surly Large Marge rim. Here's a link to the base model-they're currently out of stock. http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1271

http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=590994I just read your post and it was great! I'm glad you told me about it or I might not have become aware of it! Great story and fantastic job making the uni! :thumb:

Thanks. Actually, I didn't make it. My Dad made it more than 50 years ago. As noted, it has always been rusty and twisted like that. Trailworthy? I doubt it, but it will be fun to get back to riding it around town again.

Awesome!

Awesome!:)

Very cool! I've always wondered how many hours a week you ride?

Very cool! I've always wondered how many hours a week you ride?I try to ride every day, but last Saturday I did a 20 mile ride at backbone trail and it really kicked my butt for a couple days so i needed recovery time. On average, about 2 hours per day during the week, and maybe 4-6 hours for each weekend day.
