29" Discussion thread

I'd like to dedicate this thread to the 29" (Brand name makes no
difference).

Realistically what are other riders using their 29" uni for?

1) Long distance/Touring riding
2) MUNI
3) All purpose (Your one & only, first choice) uni riding

Pass along any comments you wish regarding the 29" in this thread.

Thanks

I've just put 115mm cranks on my 29er (swapped from 125s). They are fab.
No noticeable loss of control but so fast! It's almost impossible to
ride slowly. I love them.

Not quite ready to put them on my N36, but hope to one day soon.

Semach.the.monkey. Thanks, you are probably right about the saddle
height. I did notice my legs don't extend all the way.

Cathwood. I am ordering an extra set of cranks, railbar seat
adjustment. Like the idea of being able to go faster but still have
control.

Municycler. Will post creamsicle after I shrink the picture (allowed
only 800x600 resolution and less than 1 meg size)

Nice unicycles you have there.

Would you buy your son a 29er someday or will you let him ride yours.

I've tried 150, 125, 115 and 100 on my 36er. I think my favourites
were the 125s; I have 115s on there at the moment but the reduction in
control results in me not actually going any faster than the 125s and
feeling less comfortable.

115 feels a bit hairy but OK. The 100s felt very hairy so I was
actually slower; I didn't really give them a fair try though.

I'm sure 115s will feel OK if I stick with them, but for my urban
riding I'm inclined to stick with the control and speed of the 125s.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!
