Default Custom Unicycles and Parts


I would like to see

A smooth 19" tire, like a Primo Wall

a gel seat with more than just a tiny pad of gel

A light geared hub for 19"ers

Have you ever wanted to design your own unicycle, or have anything that

the unicycle industry...




I think for this to be worthwhile I would have to go with ideas that
aren't likely to become a reality, but would be really nice features.

Firstly, a folding 36" wheel. Being able to get a whole Coker in to a
backpack to transport it around would be great. It would, of course,
have to be very light weight, and easily assembleable.

Secondly, adjustable cranks. Some lightweight cranks that can shorten
from, say, 170mm down to 90mm on the fly would be superb. A lot of my
journeys are on variable terrain, so increasing the length for hills,
and decreasing it for smooth flat runs would help at all. But it's got
to be instant without dismounting, or taking out spanners.

Oh, and couple of little tripod legs that deploy automatically so that
I can stop at traffic lights without having to idle.

And all of this would be available in purple. Or green. Or purple and
green.
