It would be a good way to pack up a unicycle, and reassemble it with out any tools. You could use a quick release for the seat post, and fold the pedals, and it wouldn't take up that much room. Innes * I guess I don't understand the "no tools" part. It's very easy to pack a small assortment of tools in suitcases, they really don't take up a lot of room. So instead of spending gadzillions on folding pedals for each uni, one of these is about $20 and one tool can be used for different unicycles. I have one. It's a worthy investment.

We need to be careful here. A unicycle tyre contains a combustible substance under pressure. A spanner can give someone quite a nasty bruise. Whilst it would be comparatively easy to sneak a suitcase full of hard drugs and a pair of explosive shoes into the Whitehouse or the Palace of Westminster, security may balk at allowing a unicycle onto a plane! Joking apart, Cathwood, make sure you let the air out of your tyre. The aircraft hold will be at low pressure. It's only about 5 - 10 psi difference, but quite sudden, and you don't want any nasty banging noises as you take off. Don't try to carry tools or a pump etc. in your hand luggage as they will be stopped and confiscated by security. Baggage handlers do NOT treat baggage with tender concern as if it were their own, so pack the unicycle carefully. Lastly, we all demand photos of you unicycling in Turkey, complete with yashmak, cheap carpet, and cup of incredibly strong sweet coffee. Extra bonus points if you're carrying a Greek flag. -- Mikefule - Roland Hope School of Unicycling http://www.dolphin-morris.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mikefule's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42620 |

B * I was thinking about being able to pack a unicycle in my car or my van at work, where it wouldn't take up much room, and it would be very quick to set up, I know you can take on and off pedals with a spanner, I think you missed the point a bit.

Have to disagree on the deflateing the trye for air travel issue. most unis a`re only a low pressure tyre and most people have no more than 60psi in them. An inflated trye protects the rim better than a flat one. If its in a suitcase its not an issue and you can do what you like, no one will know how much air is in the trye. sarah frequent uni flyer. -- sarah.miller - SWUM unicyclist South West Unicycle Meet www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sarah.miller's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1694 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42620 |

Ah, one of the things I love about this forum is if one person thinks one thing, then the next person will thing the opposite. I guess the thing is that there are few absolute certainties in unicycling. You can just do whatever you want.
