GUNI innertube help needed asap
Hi, guni enthusiasts. I got good news and bad news this morning when I went to the car with a bottle of lube from Florian. The good news was that the lube worked -- my guni can shift with ease now! The bad news: My innertube exploded during the night or early morning (it was in the hot car since yestereen). I don't have a spare tube for the 29" guni, but the unicycle came with a high performance innertube with a large valve (is that the Schroeder? I always confuse the names). I cannabalized the tube from my dysfunctional 29" Semcycle, but that one has a skinny valve (is that the Presta?). When I tried it, the skinny valve fit into the hole from the Schlumpf's rim, but it has a lot of space around it. I have one of those nuts used to tighten the valve so that it doesn't shift around, but it seems like a bad idea to use this tire.

GUNI innertube help needed asap
Schroeder was the pianist who had to put up with Lucy in Peanuts... Schraeder is the car-type valve (I had to look it up to confirm!) Glad to hear it's OK! -- mikepenton Uni - The Unicycle Magazine 'www.unicyclemagazine.com' (http://www.unicyclemagazine.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mikepenton's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7090 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51218 |

GUNI innertube help needed asap
Well, at least I had the names (mostly) right, even if I evoked the name of a Peanuts character. I spoke with 1800 UNICYCLe. I think I spoke with Amy. She said that the Presta will work in the Schraeder hole, especially if I buy an adapter. I'd forgotten about that. In fact, I have one somewhere, but I'll get another at the local bike shop. Meanwhile I'll order a few 700cc (or 29") tubes in both varieties since I need both. Thanks for your help, gang! -- David_Stone Dictator for Life, NYUC Check out my blog (or else): http://newyorkunicycle.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David_Stone's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3834 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51218 |
