60km on a 24"
Hey guys, I just completed my first long haul yesterday traveling 60km on the highway with my 24" dx. I know this isn't the ideal uni at all but it's all I've got to work with right now so it did the trick. The trip took 7 hours and I was doing it to raise money for cystic fibrosis. Just wondering if anyone else has done something like this before? -- x2005fck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ x2005fck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17400 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73027 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I've never gone that far on a 24" on roads but have off-road a few times on my KH24. Really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Great job! It's always motivating to see others out there pushing their own personal limits! -- MuniSano ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniSano's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13350 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73027 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Just wondering if anyone else has done something like this before? Great job and for a good cause. Just out of curiosity are you still using the stock DX seat and tire? I use my 06 DX as an everday smooth road ride, but have changed the tire to a hookworm and the seat to a KH Fusion Freeride. makes for a much better distance riding experience. -- Harley Always remember: With patience and perseverance you can **** a hole through a rock. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harley's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11821 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73027 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yes, that's a looooooong ride for a 24"! My nearest experience was a 1980 March of Dimes charity ride of 75km which a friend and I did on giraffes with 20" wheels. But we had customized the giraffes to have close to a 2:1 gear ratio. That meant less pedaling, but they were pretty hard to control! We were the first to start and the last to finish. With way-painful crotch areas! Congratulations on your fundraising, and for being someone that doesn't use equipment as an excuse to not think big! -- johnfoss John Foss Email: "jfoss" at "unicycling.com" -- www.unicycling.com ----------------------------------------------- Man with broken collar bone say: "Have you checked your shoelaces lately?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnfoss's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/832 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73027 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

To Harley, yes I'm still on all the stock parts because it's a relatively new uni and getting things where I'm at, I'm basically limited to just ordering online things which tend to take a while to ship. And to flux, I was only a part in a wide campaign that raised over $32 000 for CF. My ride I think helped push people to raise more though. -- x2005fck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ x2005fck's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17400 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73027 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
