Heavy Guys and potato chips
I'm a heavy guy and have turned more than a couple unicycles into potato chips so I'm a little hesitant to go all out on my new $500 purchase from bedford cycles. I got a 26 inch wheel and a street tire. I compress the tire a great deal even when it is overinflated. So should I - get a smaller wheeled unicycle because those are less likely to warp (is this true?) - get a thicker tire to avoid hitting the rim from my larger than average frame? - Lay off the potato chips and give it up so lond as I weigh in at 280lbs?

Heavy Guys and potato chips
Great!, welcome to the forum ! Glad to have you around!  I have a KH 24. What kind of uni's have you squashed ? I think you couldn't break a 24 or 26 muni without doing big drops. At least not a strong one. Definitely don't stop riding. I have lost 15 lbs. in the 3 months since I started ! I just ordered a new tire, but thats it as far as trashing stuff goes. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61746 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

What kind of uni's have you squashed ? I think you couldn't break a 24 or 26 muni without doing big drops I've taco'd three Norco's (more 'affordable' brands), mostly from hops up stairs etc. I'm pretty sure it's the sideways motion. They were 20inch and 24 inch. My nice one is 26 inches and I wonder if a larger wheel means more likelihood to bend. Part of me thinks yes and part of me thinks no. - Scott -- princegeorge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ princegeorge's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15205 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61746 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
