![]() Pete, You sure know how to design a sexy thing like that, it's a pity you live so far away because I'd sure like to try that thing sometime. I've ridden a Schlumpf coker at Unicon and when your cranks are horizontal you feel sort of a click and some of the energy you put in the revolution is just gone. It feels very weird, you said there was no crank play whatsoever, so you're saying it's a smoother ride than let's say, a Schlumpf? I love the handles you put on that thing, it was your Purple Haze design that made me put handles on mine, and you keep giving me more ideas on improving my own unicycle, keep up the good work!

The hub is different than any other unicycle hub. The hub body is on bearings and is able to rotate around the axle. In that sense the hub is like a bicycle wheel hub that spins on an axle. The cranks are attached to the axle. There is a jackshaft (the two cogs above the hub). The chain from the cranks drive the jackshaft. The second chain from the jackshaft then goes down and drives the hub. So the hub is able to spin at a different RPM than the axle. That is what allows for gearing. It can be geared up or down based on the size of the cogs. I hope that makes sense. It's hard to explain without pictures. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Dirty Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 |

It's projects like this that keep the Seattle area at the forefront of unicycle technology development. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Dirty Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52571 |

![]() Thanks all! Yep, I am pleased with it. A new paint job on old frame tubes that were cut & re-welded many time can go a long way. Drawings for my next project have begun.

![]() That is absolutely incredible. What a sexy unicycle. I don't think I'd ever stop riding it (not that I stop riding my other ones either..)
