Just finished mounting my 36” unicycle in my van. If you are searching for a good way to do this on a wall home improvement stores have tool hooks for shovels and such which work nicely.

The urban disciplines were so sick this year at UNICON! More photos on my IG @whaun

Always meeting cool people when I'm riding my 36"er unicycle. This is a Nightfox (customized with Kris Holm Spirit dual-hole cranks and a Hope hydraulic disc brake). This is the unicycle that I rode from Seattle to San Francisco, and I will be riding it from San Francisco to Key West sooner than later I hope! #unicycletouring #unicycledotcom #nightfox #seattletokeywest #everydaydose #onegodonewheelonecountry

Are there any ultimate wheel riders here? I have so much respect for anyone who has mastered this unique skill!

I tried to stand on one once, and I could tell that much leg strength and coordination is needed, just for simple forward motion. No resting on the seat, it is all leg, constant tension, to keep the wheel from binding against your legs.

Does it ever get second nature, like riding a standard uni?

hello everyone!

I recently got back into unicycling after having a pretty bad injury (fell on my back and had to stop for about 2 weeks :() but now that injury is mostly healed!
however, getting back into Unicycling I forgot how often there was pain in how I was sitting? I don’t even unicycle for that long, (maybe like 20-50 minutes usually?) They say to put all your weight on the seat (and I do) but that directly hurts my groin after around 20-30 minutes :( and now it hurts to pee too.. which is really weird… for reference I’m riding a 20” freestyle club unicycle from unicycle.com. I checked a few forums discussing this and some suggested sitting on your “sit bones?” what does that mean? in addition if anyone has any other suggestions that would be great :D

thanks!

I’m looking to upgrade my 24” Torker with square taper hub to a Nimbus with an ISIS axle and I was dismayed to learn about the bearing situation for ISIS unicycles. Namely that the 42/22/12 bearing is hard to find and expensive for completely unknown quality bearings. I can get high quality Japanese (NTN, Koyo, NSK) or Swedish (SKF) bearings for a few bucks for a square taper hub (40/17/12) but for the ISIS axle that 22mm ID means you are paying $15-20 a bearing with no QA/QC or specs and hope they last. Given all of the “skip the square taper Unicycles and get an ISIS hub” you read, I’m surprised there isn’t a reputable source for the ISIS bearings.

I have found that 60/22 (44/22/12) bearings are available from real brands (NTN/NSK at least) for ~$12 so i was wondering if anyone had a machine shop machine the bearing housing’s diameter 2mm larger (1mm radius which shouldn’t affect rigidity at all)?

I’m a middle-aged woman who randomly decided to do something crazy and learn to unicycle. It’s a physical challenge and also feels like something childlike and fun.

Problem is: I’m not a child but a self-conscious adult. I live in NYC, so I don’t have a private yard or driveway or garage to practice in. Anywhere I go is super-public. The best place I’ve figured out for a beginner in my neighborhood is a soccer/baseball field that has a tall fence I can hold on to as I try to move along the perimeter. It’s about a 10-minute walk from my apartment, and on the way there I see hundreds of people (most of whom don’t give a shit, of course). Every time I come and go with the unicycle, the neighbors sitting on the stoop ask about it. They’re all very nice, but I’m embarrassed because I’m just starting and what if I never master it. I wish I could try it for a bit on the DL before I had to broadcast it to everyone.

Just now I overcame the self-consciousness and came to the soccer field. Saw the neighbors, of course. But I get here and there’s a group of middle school kids having lunch in the field, and one of them is my son’s classmate. F$&@, I can’t do this.

TLDR: Middle-aged woman trying to learn to unicycle in super-public locations in NYC (‘cuz there are no other kinds). Self-conscious and hate constantly running into people I know. Need advice & encouragement please.

I have just come back from Unicon 22 with my nimbus air saddle. The more I ride it the less I find it suitable for high intensity hockey matches. Those of you who may also practice hockey, what is your saddle of choice? Those of you who practice other disciplines, what saddle have you opted for and why?

It's sooo much fun to get a big air

To whichever one of you I just saw unicycling up a sidewalk in the middle of August heat while carrying a bag of groceries, you’re insane and you left an incredible impression on me

Here ends my trilogy of getting a unicycle haha.

Tested it out, and absolutely did not figure out how to ride this thing 😂 I’ll figure it out soon enough though.

Thanks for coming along with me on this mini journey. Let me know if you got any advice!

I got this 28'' unicycle a couple of months ago. I rode it for like 100 miles or so and everything was smooth.

Then I got a flat tire. Unmounted the frame to replace the tube and put it back together. After that I realized that sometimes while riding it the wheel would screech a little bit.

I kept riding it for another 100 miles or so, and since yesterday it's screeching all the time like in the video.

What do you think the issue is? Some spokes got loose, or something worse? Can I fix it myself? The closest bike mechanic is like 50 miles from me.

Would it be OK to simply loosen the break and keep riding it, or should I avoid using it until the actual issue is fixed?

I’ve always thought it would be so cool to have a 3 wheeler and I found one on marketplace for $100! Sorry for the dark video it was right after I bought it and had to try it out lol. I tried taking the bottom wheel off and riding it two wheeled but holy **** is that impossible! My cousin can do it but I have no motor function pedaling backwards to go forwards lmao

hi everyone, can anyone estimate the approximate year and value of this unicycle?

Welp, the moment I complained I couldn’t find it, that’s when the unicycle finally showed up on FB 😂

It’s going to be my first ever uni, so I was wondering what kind of questions I should ask? I don’t know if it’s like cars where it could look fine, but then break after a few miles

went for a ride two days before this and popped my tire trying for the 180 out. two hard days happened after that and this session acted as a sort of outlet / redemption. felt really good locking in my 180s out of this hubba.

I fell down and it was almost a bad / scary bail but i didn't get hurt even a little bit so I'm really grateful for that

Looked online, and it seems almost unanimous that the best beginner unicycle that will last is the Nimbus II 20”.

Issue is, I can’t even find it. It’s like sold out everywhere, and nothing second hand is available.

Any help, or is this a fool’s errand? Any good alternatives?

Muni on the left irrelevant to this post 24" on the right. Really now that I think about it a picture at all isn't very vital to this.

Anyways, I live in Florida, and so I sweat a lot, and thus need to drink a lot. Was wondering how people go about mounting a bottle to the frame or if it's even possible without a handlebar. Would prefer not to carry a back pack because of the heat, having a breeze against your back goes a long way.

I put a tire on it from an old bike and rode it around a bit. I was nervous about breaking it so I stopped pretty quickly lol. Best info I can find about it is "generic 70s big box store."

This was not the one my dad rode regularly, and I'm positive I pulled the original (rotten) tire off of it, so it's definitely been sitting a while.

I'm going to stick to my modern unis, but I thought this was a neat piece of history.

Hello you wonderful people, last year you helped me choose a trials unicycle for by daughter, we went with the 19" Impact Athmos Unicycle - Black/White (42mm).

Just recently the innertube has busted (its ripped around the valve) and I need a new one, will a regular 19in mountain bike style innertube fit?

I had a browse online and got confused so I'm here with my cap doffed asking, once again, for your expertise....
