I don't like mine as much as I like my 20" Trials, but that is mostly
because I don't have much of a road area to ride it at. Even more than
that, it really kills my knees, which have never been the same since I
stress fractured them last year.

My plan is to put a 29er tube on it. I hope the reduced weight will help
my knees and then I can enjoy riding it. If that doesn't work I guess I
need to put a break on it.

If there was a long stretch of road, I had somewhere to go, and it
didn't kill my knees I think I would really enjoy it .

Hating is not nice at all. If you want to hate something you do not go
out and say you hate it, you simply just keep it to yourself. And now I
do not hate my Coker, wait a minute I don't have a coker, okay then, I
do not hate coker.

I have a new 36 Zoll unicycle, it isn't a coker.
I think it is from Qu-Ax.

I'm indifferent about 36" but excited about GB4 geared.

I can't see why you would need this poll. Who would not love a Coker?

Some people like real dogs like Great Danes and others like little toy
like things such as Fox Terriors. Maybe it's the same with unicycles

I think my coker is okay.

If you want to ride long distances (like over 50 miles) there's no
competition to a coker with 110 cranks. 29ers with super-short cranks
just don't ride nice, whereas 110 cranks are nice and controllable and
give you just enough control to ride it like a normal unicycle.

If you put longer cranks on it, I don't find it that different to a
29er. I got bored with riding a coker with 150 cranks, cos the 29er with
125s was less effort and more versatile.
