KH / Schlumpf Geared 24" mountain unicycling
Howdy! I wrote a quick review of my geared 24": http://tinyurl.com/6ebgsg Nathan Hoover put some pictures from last Sunday: http://nhoover.smugmug.com/gallery/6637666_SutW5 Be sure to check out the video of me cruising along at Coker speeds: http://tinyurl.com/63oca4 Overall, the geared 24 is wonderful. It will be my unicycle for the Africa tour, and as soon as we get my old hub back, we'll have a second one for Louise to take on the Africa tour too. --corbin -- corbin http://www.corbinstreehouse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7561 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74483 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Cool stuff, I really want to try a geared 26 built a bit lighter than my current MUni. -- saskatchewanian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74483 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

That's awesome. I've got a KH/Schlumpf on order now and I plan on rebuilding my KH24 around it when I get it. For me this will be a very versitile and useful setup for the sorts of terrain I ride regularly; plus it's very transportable.

I want to schlumpf my rides...

But I have ridden it enough to notice in high gear, on the pavement, the knobby vibration, even on my well worn duro wildlife Leopard tire. It's good see more posts about the new hubs, Florian mentioned he shipped 50 of the beauties last month! I have not had much time to ride this new wheel, so I have some questions, What mount do you use for high gear? I tried the rollback a couple times and man, that high feels completely different, like the wheel isn't going turn, then suddenly speeds back behind me. I'm thinking I'll need to brush up on the rolling mount. So far I've only used low air pressure 18 lbs (Maybe that's why the mounting feels so dead at first.) What pressure are you liking? And one of those video's shows someone riding up a steep hill, in high gear, on 36" guni, awesome. Even stops and turns at the top, nice control. -- Chrashing Regards, Ken I've been flying....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chrashing's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74483 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

KH / Schlumpf Geared 24" mountain unicycling
My parents just offered me to give me a KH/Schlumpf hub for Christmas! I am so excited! But now I have to decide which uni to put it on. That's a difficult one. I think maybe the KH29 is good as a first geared hub? Or maybe I should put it in a 26" rim on the 29er frame, but then I'd have to mod the brake bosses. The KH24 would be great too, but that's the one I do the most abusive stuff on, and I'm still trying to learn all sorts of tricks on that one. In any case, I think I'd build a whole new wheel set for the Schlumpf anyways, so I can go without it whenever I want to. If I had a KH36 I might put it on that one to have the fastest ride available... But I have a Nimbus Nightrider... can't schlumpf that one, right? So maybe I would sell it... and get a KH36? The thing is that I currently live in the somewhat flat Netherlands, so the geared 36 would definitely make more sense than 24" guni. Although I don't see myself going much faster than 36Km/h on one wheel anyways. I wish one could change hubs faster, quick release style... Because the geared 24/26/29 setup would be my choice for touring in the mountains. I'd want to go on tours in southern Germany and Switzerland then. Difficult decision, but I think probably I'll gear up the 29er, either as a 26er or as 29er. It seems to be a good compromise. At the moment the 29er is the one I use the least, because for going on tours I love the speed of the 36er, and for going technical muniing in the few hills available and practicing tricks I use the 24"... What would you guys do, if you had to make this decision? What do you think is the easiest one for getting into guni and shifting on the fly? -- munirocks mono for bono ------------------------------------------------------------------------ munirocks's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16564 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74483 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Shifting on the fly just takes practice; it doesn't really matter what the wheel size is. Shorter cranks make it easier for most people. I've just set up a Schlumpf 29er with a 29x2.3" MUni tire and the dual-drill 125/150 KH Moment cranks. I think that's about as versatile a setup as you can imagine. In 125mm geared mode, it's fast enough to compete in Ride The Lobster. In 150mm ungeared mode, it rides pretty much like a MUni. It fits in the trunk and it's easy to take on a plane (at least relative to a Coker). -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74483 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

If I had a 32" I'd probably gear that one up.
