Rider weight and a KH24

I am considering getting a unicycle. I used to ride one about 30 years
ago but switched to two wheels for some unknown reason. Anyways I am
looking at the KH24 my concern is that I tip the scales at 214lbs. Will
it hold my fat arse? I don't plan on doing anything fancy just mostly
hard pack riding. Whatcha' think? Should I be looking at the Surly 24?

I don't think it matters how much you weigh. The KH24 will hold up to
alot (!) of stuff.

KH.

P.S. Welcome to the forums.

Yeah the Kh24 will hold all your fat just fine. Especially if all you
will be doing is hard pack riding.

No problem. I'm 205 lbs and ride moderately aggressive muni. I've done
plent of drops mostly 1 ft and under. But a number of 2 - 3 ft drops
with no problems.

Get the KH 24. I'm about 210 lbs. and I do just fine with it. It's
built to take a lot more abuse than that. Besides that, the color is
very cool!

issues with it atall.

Hmm, yes you could do it in a day, especially if you get the 150s as
standard. You could probably hold 6 to 7 mph if you were fairly fit and
you blew the tyre right up, so 3 hours riding time plus some breaks
would see it done. I understand some guys in the UK do 40 mile Muni
rides in a day on 24" and 26" rides.

yeah, 20 miles is no problem on the KH24". If you can go it, it'll do
it. Ive rode farther than that on my 24", so it'll work out fine. The
only thing to worry about is getting a sore arse.
