Unicycling; an adventure sport for all? Hmm… cue the clown music as the view amongst non riders remains that unicycling is a prop used in circus acts and/or a skill that only few people are able to master. Curiously this sits comfortably with a surprising number of unicyclists, particularly those...

I had some time to spare today while in Ballarat so took the 36′er along and put in a few circuits around Lake Wendouree.  The lake has been dry for a few years due to the drought in southern Australia. It’s a little eerie and bizarre, riding past all of the boat sheds that sit beside the...

With a couple of hours to spare between lunch and afternoon unicycle sessions at school I headed to the nearest big hill in the Wombat Forest to try out the Nimbus 26″ ISIS MUni. First impression is that the Nimbus 26″ MUni is one cool piece of machinery, the standout feature being the 3.0″...

I met up with Eric the Red and we headed out on our 29′ers to ride the Browns Gully section of the Great Dividing Trail. The return of cold Winter weather dampened our enthusiasm initially, but it turned out to be a great day for riding. The section of the Great Dividing Trail between Mount Franklin...

A mysterious whip cracking, juggling, 8 foot giraffe riding Frenchman has stolen the heart of my KH 29′er. I first saw them sitting together amidst the autumn leaves, sharing stories of foreign lands. Mysterious Frenchman & KH29 He mounted the 29′er in strange and unusual ways. Strange...

The day of the first Wombat Forest Monthly MUni finally arrived, and amazingly after more than a week of cold drizzly weather the sun came out. Blue skies, fresh clean air — an awesome day for Mountain Unicycling. After meeting up at the Glenlyon General Store we drove to Bridge Road/Reed Track, a...

A few guys have asked how the bling finish on my pimped out KH36 was achieved. The bad news is that it wasn’t a DIY process as it required commercial grade stripping chemicals and polishing equipment. The good news is because a unicycle frame is a simple and small object the stripping and polishing...

It’s taken a while but I’ve finally gathered a decent collection of learner uni’s to use in schools and community unicycling sessions. I think it’s important to offer a range of wheel sizes when running unicycle sessions, not just to cater for the wide range of ages (from 5 upwards)...

The new KH 47mm Freeride rim seems to have opened up a new world of off road riding on the KH 29′er. But can 9mm really make that much difference? I’ve been riding the 38mm and 47mm fitted with the Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4 and WTB Stout 2.3 on separate rides, but I thought a back to back...

The rain clouds cleared briefly and I headed out with the Freeride 29′er. The combination of the 47mm rim and Stout 2.3 was great fun on the wet muddy tracks, like a 4×4 wheel drive… a 1×1? Stay tuned for the upcoming 29 inch Rim 38mm vs 47mm Comparison story… Muddy Freeride
