That said, if the wheels occasionally slip a bit when you pedal or hit
the brakes, as long as it's only a bit, it should remain quite

slipping too much.


Uhuh, it's just the getting on part that had me worried when I put
pressure on the back pedal and it slipped round . I'll save it
for.... a rainy day.

Oh and scott, do you really think my threewheeler would fit in my moped
seat?! .

What is the best (as in the one that can take the most abuse without
breaking) three-wheeler (or extension set) that you can get?

there's only one 3 wheeler you can get and it's the Nimbus 3 wheeler
the extension kits are made by Nimbus as well so either way it's going
to be pretty much the same.

Trials Uni & 3 wheeler multi-tasking question:

I have a Nimbus Trials Uni with Maxxis Creepy Crawler Tire. I'd like
to buy a couple of the Nimbus extension kits:
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1183

My plan is travel with my Nimbus Trials and pack the extension kits
and mainly ride trials but also take part in a parade where I'd like to
ride a 3 wheeler. So I thought I could add the extensions to my Nimbus
Trials and off I'd go... Will this set up work or would I be better
served to also replace my Maxxis Creepy Crawler with the same tire type
as the extensions? I guess I can just try and see what happens? Thanks

(Oh I also own a Sun 5' Giraffe, crappy but still a lot of fun)

Hey everyone, great thread.

I have started trying and have almost nailed a few seat wraps on my 5.5
foot Norco. I can seat wrap mount from the tire and almost seat wrap
freemount as well. One offt riding was easier for me with a foot on the
frame, but I can do it with the foot free.

Haven't unispun yet, but I have seen the video and they look fairly
easy compared to my street 20".

That'l have to wait till the weekend, I still need a fixed wheel
sprocket for it, which will be put on with some epoxy-resin to hold it
there. Good old e-bay for that in a bit. I just built it up for now
with a freewheel the right size, to see what it looks like. It's 2 ft 1
inch high from the ground to the dip in the seat.
