I’ve been paying a lot more attention to tire pressures lately, it’s amazing how much difference a few pound can make! You’d rather not damage the rim, get pinch flats or have the tire collapse unpredictably but you want maximum compression to boost take offs and help absorb landings. Hmm...

The relocation of the weekly unicycling meet to the local Skate Park provided all the excuse needed to head back there today for a ‘get to know you’ session and continue to work on my trials skills. I took 20 and 24 uni’s along and had a lot of fun in the middle of the day as the storm...

It’s only a 10 minute detour from the school drop off route to Trentham Falls, so with a wild Winter wind blowing I thought I’d treat myself to a MUni breakfast in the sheltered falls area. While a few people visit the falls on weekends, generally on weekday mornings there isn’t a person...

Fun ride on the 36′er today, though my legs felt a little on the empty side. The drilled Nimbus rim rolled along the fire trails and single track with no problems though there weren’t any significant drops. You come across wacky things in the middle of the forest — humongous puddles across...

I’m selling my custom KH36, a great unicycle in excellent condition. Custom goodies include  stripped and polished frame, custom wheelset and milled cranks. Selling to make way for new project. COST: $800 AU ONO plus shipping. Prefer a local sale but will consider international. FRAME:  ...

Stock standard 36″ wheels are heavy things to spin. Grams saved at the outside of the wheel add up to make a big difference in the energy required during every acceleration/ deceleration. The easiest way to lighten up a 36′er wheel and bring it to life is to replace the standard tube with...

It might still officially be Winter, but out of the blue today was a perfect Spring Saturday for a uni ride around Lake Daylesford with some upcoming MUni addicts. After meeting up at the Boathouse Cafe we headed off around the entire lake circuit, the longest distance a few of the guys have ridden so...

Recent winter forest MUni rides have been a LOT more comfortable due largely by a change in clothing. I’ve discovered Merino wool! I’ve been riding a lot more this winter in cold (0-10 degrees celcius) and drizzly weather and my standard combination of (old and smelly) polypropylene thermal,...

Turned 42 today. Best way to celebrate? A muddy MUni ride! As luck would have it Daniel from Melbourne had time for a ride before heading off to Western Australia so we met outside of Woodend to have a crack at the complete Wombat MTB Single Track loop. The day started out cool and sunny with a small...

Great winter weather and a bunch of riders, the third monthly MUni ride was a hoot! Lots of laughs, no broken bones, great success Like many unicyclists almost all of my riding is alone so the social aspect of the monthly MUni rides is really enjoyable, though always sort of strange initially. From...
