I just changed the pedals, with more grippy ones. I may change also the cranks for smaller ones (to go faster!!), but slopes will be harder to climb...
Nothing much to say here except pictures of my new toy. It's been 4 months since I'm in Norway, which I can
deal with. But it's 4 months without unicycling, which is much much harder. In Paris, I used to cycle
with my 24", but now in Trondheim distances are greater so I needed a bigger wheel. Okay, maybe
distances are the same, but I needed a bigger wheel anyway. So, I ordered a 30" uni from
Pichlerrad. Expensive, yep, but couldn't help it ;)
Enough talk! On to the pictures.

This is it! Don't seem on the picture but it looks biiiig... :). It has a lot of intertia (no kidding);
I was afraid it would be hard going up and down slopes, but it's quite manageable (but I cannot ride (yet!)
steep slopes you may find in forest paths). However, I'll have
to develop those thighs, I was aching after just one hour ride... But maybe it's just a habit, or the
fact that I didn't ride since months.

Here's the seat, with a computer (hey, I GOT to know how many miles I made on that beast! I have to break
the 5000km record on my 24";). The wire is attached with sellotape, I should change to
"insulating tape" (aka chatterton) or something else.
The seat is a little bit hard for me. I may change for the Kris Holm one, or tinker it with an inner tube... One last thing: this uni is for tall people. Take a closer look, I cannot lower the seat more than that (actually, just the perfect size for me;) |
