What makes an expensive unicycle worth it?
I own/have owned 3 x 20 inch unis 2 x 24 inch unis 1 x 26 inch uni 2 x 28 inch uni 1 x Coker The closest comparison I can make is between my Pashley 26 MUni and my KH24 MUni. I have done many miles on my Pashley. I jumped on my KH24 for the first ime and could not believe the immediate difference. It's a combination of lightness, having the weight in the right place, the right amount of flex, a strong wheel, good tyre, light cranks... Likewise when I went from my first 28 to one with a custom made wheel - the difference was very noticeable. You can have a lot of fun on a basic uni. A better one really is better, though. It isn't just "king's new clothes". -- Mikefule Unicycling for Cthulhu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mikefule's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/879 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58734 |

What makes an expensive unicycle worth it?
Yeah, I finally figured out it's Chris Holm not Horn. I know that expensive unis are much better made/last longer. I'm always tightening my bolts on my Avenir 24" when I'm riding. I'm usually pretty tough on them even though I don't go off road or do jumps. I want to eventually do some commuting in NYC. I should have said that from the beginning. Then I'll try gettin' tricky after that. I wouldn't want to have a uni under 24". -- ctaba67ny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ctaba67ny's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14475 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58734 |

I also am trying to start a Brooklyn faction of the NY Unicycle Club. I have been to some meetings and always have a great time there.

If on the side, that's a great reason right there. You don't need to spend very much money to get something you will like WAY more There is no need to go 'very expensive' in order to have a great unicycle -- Brian MacKenzie DVDs now available from www.LBMmultimedia.com : 'NAUCC 2006' (http://tinyurl.com/lrvln) 'Training Wheel Not Required' (http://www.LBMmultimedia.com/videos/TWNR.wmv) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian MacKenzie's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7650 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58734 |

What makes an expensive unicycle worth it?
I'm usually pretty tough on them even though I don't go off road or do jumps. just one question? how can you say you work it pretty hard if you don't trick, hop, drop or muni? 'we' use specialised unicycles mainly because we don't only commute and if we did only commute (well at least if i did) i'd probably want more than a 10o$ (or is it 3 unis collectively costing 1o0$/£50?) for comfort, durability and aesthetics. -- epistolize affirmation: i will hit tricks in a heavy stylee, quit prehoppin and flow freely organise my thughts into lines and WORK "I lli T! eratepeoplegetthefulleffectofalphabetsoup?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epistolize's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11876 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58734 |

What makes an expensive unicycle worth it?
When to upgrade? 1. When you break your unicycle. 2. When the unicycle limits what you can do. I'm on my 5th unicycle, because the first 3 broke, and I needed a trials as well as muni. Stay with a cheep unicycle until it limits what you can do. -- phthoruth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phthoruth's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11491 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/58734 |
