Evolution of a Schlumpf

From 29 inches to 36! 'See the photos here' (http://tinyurl.com/4g9ca6).
This is the unicycle I rode in the road races at UNICON, having built it
literally the day before I left for Denmark. I had one 11km test ride on
it on the morning that I left NZ, smashing my previous test-course
record. Geared 36ers are fast!

Nice wheel, Tony. Scary to think that you'll be even faster now.
Yikes!

Nice. I see you switched to 152 from 140mm.

I sent my hub in for the upgrades, I am still waiting for it to get
back to me. These last 2-3 months have felt like 2-3 years, I am so
anxious to get my KH/Schlumpf 36 up and running.

I need to start training so I can beat you and Ken at the next Unicon

Yes I did that after the 10km race in preparation for the UNICON
marathon. I felt I didn't have quite enough power with 140s in the big
gear. In doing that I damaged the downshifting button and couldn't get
it back on. That didn't matter too much as I only shifted once, within
the first 50m, the entire race! After UNICON I visited Florian in
Switzerland and got a new button put on.

eenwieler-sander - yes I remember you and Dustin and your enormously
long handlebars! So far I like the T7. Most of the time I use it in
hunched over 'Jann Logemann' style with both hands on the T7 handles. I
also find myself riding with one hand on the saddle handle and one on
the T7, especially when braking on downhills. For moderate climbs I use
both hands on the T7 and steeper climbs one hand on each, and really
steep climbs both hands on the saddle handle (a bit of a tight fit, but
still possible). I guess the best thing about the T7 is that it gives
you a variety of hand positions. Also its cool to be able to see my
speedo.
