29" Discussion thread
Hearing so many great things about Darren Bedford, I have decided to spend the extra money to buy a quality Unicycle. Unfortunately, I can't afford a KH 29er, but I can afford a bedford 29er. I'll be using this for long distance/touring riding, maybe some muni too. I'd like to get a handle but not sure what to get. Also I'd like to get knobby tire, not street so I can ride the trails. Interested in hearing from others there recommendation. -- legtod2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ legtod2's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15732 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

It's excellent value for money, really comfortable, looks good, and has the ability to mount lights, cycle computer, water bottles, etc. I've got one on my 29" Schlumpf, and it's fantastic. legtod2 wrote: Also I'd like to get knobby tire, not street so I can ride the trails. It's probably worth having a search for other opinions, but I tried the Kenda Klaw, and didn't get on with it at all. I've now got the Nano Raptor for off road stuff, and that's great. Most of my riding is done on the road with a 2" Big Apple though.

Even After I built up a 29", I primarily used my Nimbus 36 for street and smooth paths, and a Nimbus 24 Muni for off road. The 29" is just too large for me on hilly trails. So put a 24" wheel on my KH29 frame, now I love it. -- Chrashing Regards, Ken ... I say it's a great exercise.

I have a homemade 29er that is my usual first-choice uni. I do distance riding and general around town with it. Here it is with 125 cranks. I've currently got it set up with 150s just for a little more confidence. [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/att...&d=1129767789] When I'm trying to learn new skills or get better at old ones, I usually grab my DX24. It's just more manueverable. I'm still just not as comfortable with my N36 so I habitually grab my 29er most of the time. -- underdog 'I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different' - Kurt Vonnegut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ underdog's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6197 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

If you plan to ride mostly level roads, the 36er is definitely the best. As the terrain tends toward very steep and/or very rough, smaller wheels tend to be more preferable. Both sizes can be fun for certain types of riding. I like the 29er for XC MUni and big climbs, but I prefer the 36er for covering longer distances. -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I bought the KH29 rim and UDC wide hub from UDC and built the wheel myself. It was my first wheelbuild and I got a lot of help from the web. The frame was from scratch. 300 series stainless steel tubing press fit into an anodized aluminum fork crown that I machined myself. Bearing holders are industrial shaft collars that I machined out to fit the bearings. I had a buddy who's a certified welder weld the bearing holders on to the fork legs. Seat post, seat and cranks purchased from UDC. Big Apple tire. The thing rides great. It's about 17 pounds if memory serves me right. -- underdog 'I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different' - Kurt Vonnegut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ underdog's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6197 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64498 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
