Riding with a Hernia
I ride with JC all the time which is pretty much like riding with a
hernia. I have had no trouble with it so far.

Too many flats... here's one solution.

Is there something else used in the tubeless conversion to prevent
punctures? I thought that it just prevented pinch...

Does MUni impact the trail more than MTB?
Road damage is proportional to the 4th power of the axle load. A MUni

and the riders weigh the same, the MUni will do 16 times...

What does rain do to your unicycle?
You live in the desert, what do you care? Rain makes your unicycle wet.
