Road Unicycle Set-Up and T7 Handle Modification
Just logged on after a while away, and this thread is great! The "T"
frame has been invented as a cheaper alternative to making a "V" frame.

home made tire anyone?
Got a question: what overall tire diameter are you shooting for?
The 36" tires actually are 36" OD when inflated. Do you think you'll
