New bloke

Hi

I'm new and want to get into unicycling but first I've got a few
questions to ask.

It all started when my dad said "let's build a unicycle." We found some
old forks and a 20inch wheel and set about it. It's stopped for the
minute but just while we are looking for bits.

Also I have seen some unicycles for sale on ebay and have tried bidding
on a few but have been outbid at the last minute on most of them.

So anyway, would it be best to buy one first rather than learn on a
built one because surely a bought one would be better set up. However,
I do want to continue building one so if anyone has done this could they
lease get in touch to try and help me out a bit.

You may find it better to learn on one bought because it could hold up
better and would give you parts later. Ebay can be a good place to buy
a unicycle some times but unicycle.com or a local bike shop is probably
a better place to get one. Depending on how your own unicycle comes you
out could learn on that one too. It all depends on how good the one you
make comes out I guess and your personal preference. Good luck!

I'm jealous
I just wear bike shorts...* the tight kind*
I think it really does help with performance.
I like your hair. You look like my friend.
Good luck finding a working pirate
That site is making me drool.
Edit... next time, post something like this in JC, and a string of
question marks does not constitute a title.
I was drooling over all those spools.

Thanks alot, that's what I thought. The one we're trying to make will
probably be OK and will hold up alright but it was more the problems of
geometry that I would be worried about and whether it would balance OK
when trying to ride it. Is this true and do you get different angles
and things on unicycles as you would on a bike.
