Are you 45+
I have had the 29 for a while, and I feel I handle it just fine on the roads, but I need my truck to get on it! I can mount my 24 just fine, which is why I ride that all the time. I am not sure if I can use my same "step down/back with my right pedal" mount for my 29....I may need to try the jump moving forward way of getting on? Truth is, I have not dedicated alot of time, it is easier to just grab my 24" and now worry about walking it home  Thanks for the advice!-- tholmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholmer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15475 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I think you're talking about the roll-back mount, which i the only one I can do. What length of cranks have you got on the 29", as I've found that they affect my ability to free mount more than the size of the uni. I can mount my 26" muni very regularly which has 150's. I have the same length on my coker which I can mount about 50% of the time after a couple of minutes practice. However I recently tried some 125's on the coker and although I really liked the way they felt in motion, my free-mount success rate dropped to about 5%. A couple of times I got several miles from home only to UPD and get so frustrated I nearly threw the thing in a ditch. I had to resort to field gates and lamp posts to get me going again. By the way I am only 5' 6", with short legs, so if I can make it up onto a coker, most others should be able to. -- ian.stockwell All generalisations are dangerous, even this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ian.stockwell's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12265 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Just JUMP a bit more. You can do this! Don't let the uni beat you! I know it can be frustrating. Have you looked at Muniaddict's youtube tutorial on mounting his 36? Same technique applies. -- rem48 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rem48's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15538 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Tholmer, After learning to freemount my 24", it took a fraction of the time to learn to freemount my 29". It was so high I couldn't commit to jumping on and leaning forward! So I practiced a few times while holding onto a rail with one hand. That worked and I got my first unassisted freemount on the 29" after 15 minutes. For me, it is still easier to freemount using 150 cranks than 125s, but I use the 125s most of the time. I use a static mount for both. -- BurnerDave Dave This is me, this is my video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cz62gzgdGos ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BurnerDave's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16005 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64739 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
