Default How to get a SUPER strong 'bunny' 12' unicycle. Tutorial not question


There has recently been alot of whispering about these midgets. Its now
possible. Not only in 12, but also 14 and 10 inch rims. Using these
parts, a new form of trials can open. Just look how wide those rims
are!


This scooter store has great tires/tubes:

Good rims:

Reccomended parts:
Nimbus 16 inch frame - allows for extra volume (ask UDC, frame not
listed seperate)
Nimbus ISIS hub/or square taper
Nimbus gel saddle
Cromo post
with Quax 100mm or kh 110 you could even go isis! Drools

A new form? Wouldn't it just be trials on a smaller unicycle?

Yeah, but It wouldn't be the same. It would be based soley on hopping
and skinnys. Rolling would be way to slow. I also just counted the spoke
holes, and a few hub spaces will go unused.

You would need a new frame. I'm pretty sure a 3 inch wide tire will not
fit in a nimbus 16" frame, and I would personally want it to be a true
12"
Maybe a chopshop Nimbus II frame?

I'd be up for building one if I had some extra cash

If you're lazy just buy it from those guys that already have the fames
made and the wheels built with components that are actually compatible.

I think I'd have to wait for someone to try this, then put it through
its paces to see if it would actually be somewhat practical for a 12"
trials.

You dont roll much with trials anyways. =p

Ive never liked the smaller than 20" wheel for trials idea. Gonna need
a long seatpost, and at 12" or below, it would be easier to just use a
pogostick.

There are a few vids out with 'people riding around on 12\"s.'

I'm assuming the one he's riding is completely stock though (if so I
might just have to get one)

If its stock, that just makes it easier to buy and use it. That one big
drop he does on it seems like it would of killed a cotterless wheelset,
so he might have isis with short cranks.

Youd have to ask him what it is.

I know MDC was selling smaller splined setups, but I dont know if that
option is still up.

At the end of the video there's a link to the bunnicycle. There are
quite a few threads around about this, shouldn't be too hard to find.
It says he's now sponsored by kahero.com.
