KH / Schlumpf Geared 24" mountain unicycling
Thanks Corbin, great info!
I'm enjoying the 29" GUNI, but 1:1.5 on the 29" off road riding might
be less useful than I thought it would be, unless I go to a longer
crank. Too fast and not enough...

KH / Schlumpf Geared 24" mountain unicycling
Corbin how do you think the riding experience of the 24 GUNI in 1:1.5
mode off road compares to a single speed 36" off road?
Are you finding you can ride the 24 GUNI 1:1.5 'virtual 36'...

Geared hub advice needed.
fwiw (I've only had a GUNI the last week or so) what I've found helpful
getting started so far is:
- going to a longer crank, which feels a bit goofy in 1:1 but
definitely helps in making the shift...

This looks to be the one the wheel builder in Melbourne uses. He had
some extensions made so it could fit 36" wheels as well.

Which spoke gauge is best for KH29 MUni?
I think the key thing is a good wheel build.
As an example of that, the wheel on my KH36 when it arrived was fairly
