Coker handle solution

I had no other place to mount to handle due to having to lower the seat all the way because of the air saddle. That's the beauty of it. If a problem arises, I just buy another cheap seatpost clamp and build another one. I'll try to post a better picture of it (off the uni) this evening -- Krashin'Kenny - Crash Tested If you ain't crashing, you ain't going fast enough!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krashin'Kenny's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3420 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31267 |

Coker handle solution
I have just finished converting my viscount saddle on my Pashley MUni into an air seat and added a handle made out of a mountain bike handlebar stem with a handlebar grip over it, although its at an angle it seems OK to use with either hand. The airseat is fantastic, I should have done it ages ago and would certainly recomend it to anyone who hasn't. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: viscount handle.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/199417| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Matt.P.Herbert - Muni Hungry Newbie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matt.P.Herbert's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5486 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31267 |

Upon reinstalling it, I realized the real beauty of it's simplicity. It can be adjusted to the left or right (off-center) independently of the seat position. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: handle.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/199428| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Krashin'Kenny - Crash Tested If you ain't crashing, you ain't going fast enough!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krashin'Kenny's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3420 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31267 |

Coker handle solution
I'm curious if the Coker handle is mainly used for tourning, which I suspect. Most of my time is spent on a Muni, but I try and put in 2 days a week on my Coker. My main focus had been on speed, and I've recently worked up to racing in local 10Ks. For pure velocity, I'm finding that the form is the same I used to use when racing on rollerblades, arms behind my back, bent slightly forward, and peddling like crazy. Since I am basically practicing in a bottle (alone), are you folks finding that a handle IN FRONT actually helps in increasing top speed?

Coker handle solution
Check out the thread "Road race times for Coker". John Foss' (front) handle is set even lower than mine. Without being able to tell you the specific dynamics of that position, I'd have to strongly consider it as functional. -- unisk8r - All this for just cross-training? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unisk8r's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4660 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/31267 |
