Giraffe Discussion Thread
Thanks kington, that sounds like a good idea. I saw a tandem with the left sided crank arm the other day but I just never put 2 and 2 together. -- MT High ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MT High's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71067 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I'm referring to iridemymuni (Owen) I might try someone a bit closer to Melbourne if I can, no offence to Owen. I think the cost of hauling something that large from Brisbane might be a bit high. He sounds a bit busy from what he wrote in JC. -- MT High ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MT High's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71067 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Giraffe Discussion Thread
Hi cool thread. Are giraffes fun? I am thinking of getting one rather than a trials or in addition to. Does the chain come off ever? And can the torker tx handle hops and things like that because it's pretty cheap and I was wondering if you really get what you pay for. Thx -- UnICycleRoCKs What is your favorite color? Blue.

You really get what you pay for. You can beef up the wheel though, with a stronger rim and solid wheel-build, but the drivetrain will still be that of a giraffe. It's not made for Trials, if that's what you meant. A little hopping around should be fine though. -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- "False facts are frequently formed from figures fabricated from fear fired fiction." -- Harper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71067 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I have a video somewhere taken a few years ago of Zyllan, when he was about 12, riding a 5 foot DM down a snow covered sledging slope. The DM is of course tough as old boots, and would probably, along with the cockroaches, survive a direct hit nuclear attack. I bought a second hand DM giraffe myself, very cheaply, a couple of years ago. It is not an everyday ride though, so very heavy and hard to transport that I confess to only having ridden it a half dozen times. At the cheap price it was worth it, but had I paid the full price I would have probably better spent the money elsewhere. And no, I can't freemount it.

Giraffe Discussion Thread
I've had my used, stock 5' Sun Giraffe with 20" wheel for over a year now and just recently started doing some really light trials with it. I know the stock steel rim and tire probably will be destroyed soon so what do people recommend to "beef" it up? I guess a lower cost dual wall rim and some type of wider 20" tire? What are the giraffe trials/street riders going with? I doubt I'll upgrade to a dual chain as I really don't plan on riding my giraffe all too much. -- MuniSano ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniSano's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13350 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/71067 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
