Coker Discussion Thread

Well i've decided to break my 40" tyre to make another yet larger one to
replace it. But in doing that, it will damage my frame apparently.

sooo...... what do you guys think if I were to drill out my airfoil, and
put Welgo MG1 mag pedals on my coker with my 89mm cranks... do you
think that's being too much of a weight weenie? I want to race in the
velodrome and do a time trial to see what kinds of speeds I can
reach.... what do you guys think?

On the flat speed is more about cadence than weight. Try getting on a
cycle trainer. Can you break 200+ cadence? Working on cadence will do
more for your speed than drilling holes. Then try your uni on rollers
next.

I've hit unofficial records(with car tails and cyclometers) of about
23.5mph(37.8 kph), although none of those top speed were held longer
than a quarter mile. I'm not quite sure what that equates to as far as
a cadence, but I'm sure it's pretty high. My average speeds on 30 mile
long rides are about 10-11mph(16-17kph) and I can hold a sprint speed
of 19mph for about a mile and a half, I'd say I have the spinning down,
which was why I was thinking about reducing rolling mass and overall
unicycle(and rider) weight, as well as sticking shorter cranks on.

23.5 mph is about (this is pretty close mind you) to 218 rpm, that's
pretty fast, I've only gotten 198 rpm, but ihaven't tried my 89mm's as
it is snowing
