How should I choose?

How does somebody decide which kind of unicycle to buy when they all
seem awesome?

right now I am thinking about getting either a 28in cruiser,
20freestyle, or spending some dough to fix my broken giraffe.

we need a unicycle exchange program or something. try it before you buy
it.
Kansas City doesn't seem to be a mecca for unicyclist activities.

I ramble now...

Well what kind of uni do you already have? That should aid in your
descision.

Oh ok...Well try to decied what you use your current uni for more. If
you like to zip around alot and dont have heaps of time to practice
then the 28/29er is the way to go. If your content to just mosey along
and have lots of spare time then the freestyle is the best bet. And if
your a performer then the Giraffe is the obvious choice!

I usually think about, if I buy a new unicycle, what will I use my old
one(s) for? Your Miyata Deluxe is fine for freestyle tricks (assuming
you're not competing at a national level or anything), so I would get a
29er before I'd get a 20" freestyle. You can't ride long distances on
your 24" (at least, not without pain), but you can do freestyle on your
24".

The giraffe is worth putting money into only if you're performing.

I think the real question is what order to buy. I like every type of
riding, but as we all know unis are pretty specific to riding style.
here are the ones I am looking at now. '28er'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=52)
'longneck nimbus' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=697)
'hookworm freestyle'
(http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=629)

The next problem is I can't really test any of these since I have to
order them sight unseen from UDC, so I can't be sure of comfort best
crank length etc...

heres the thing that I did
1. find out the unis that you want _/
2.find out what you want in a uni x
3.find out what the unis do x (eg 29er distance)
4.make your disision based on these facts x

Really? I didn't think it was that obvious... tell us about how you
use a giraffe for your performances, trials_uni! Why would a performer
like yourself recommend a giraffe over anything else?

In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
practice, there is.
