My road uni dream
1:25? Wouldn't that feel more like a 725er?
(Sorry, couldn't resist).
I wonder when we will see unicycles with one fixed gear ratio (apart
from 1:1) on the market.

What unicycle should I get next?
I learned on a 26", so going from 20" to 29" shouldn't be impossible. It
will take some time to get used to, but if you start with longer cranks
I think it'll be OK.
Most tricks are harder to do on...

Hey Norman, welcome to the forums!
I learned on a 26" Nimbus. I even used a fat off-road tire (26x3.0), so
it is definitely possible to learn on a 26er. Don't know if I would have
