KH / Schlumpf Geared 24" mountain unicycling
I think you're asking if a well-built 29" wheel from a KH29 would be
weak enough to fail on a smaller drop than would break a geared hub in a
unicycle with an infinitely strong wheel... As in, -if I...

Help! Stuck Schlumpf Shifter Button

Right; I know about PV = nRT, but I wasn't sure if Air followed that
exactly, or how closely it followed it. I guess it's sufficiently close,
based on all the faith in it I now see in this thread!...

Just bought a KH36
Yeah, I did, but I do push and pull on them a lot when I ride. I think
that's why I'm so incapable of riding fast without them. It's not like I

Whats the brake pad to rim gap?
On a Nimbus 36, you'll want to keep it pretty wide. Even on my KH36, I
keep about a quarter inch between the rim and pad on each side, and
that's a stiff frame. On my nimbus, I had about 3/8 of an...
