Didj the Uni Dog

Didj the Uni Dog
Had fun down at the local reserve today with Didj the uni dog and my partner Selena. Didj is a 6 month old kelpie cross with LOTS of energy. We’ve already been out on many walks, uni rides and MTB rides but today was the first day on the 36′er which Didj seemed to get excited about –...

Sock Superstitions

Sock Superstitions
Now that I stop and think about it I’m probably fairly superstitious, or maybe I just don’t like change all that much. Whatever the reason, I like to unicycle wearing the same pair of socks. Not just any socks, but my favourite socks – Salsa’s ‘Ride and Smile’ Muerto’s. You’ve...

Five Ten Karver Review

Five Ten Karver Review
My Five Ten Sam Hills are awesome shoes, but for whatever reason my Schlumpf hub gear shifting technique has always been ankle bone based. I’m changing gears a lot more on the 24″ GUni, like a two speed dune buggy, and in the off road environment it’s often with minimal advance warning...

Tubeless KH24″ GUni

Tubeless KH24″ GUni
I’ve been super happy with the tubeless conversion on my KH36′er so decided to go tubeless on the KH24 GUni. The drilled rim on the KH24 weights 655 grams. The 24×3 tube ~425 grams. Add in the Duro 3.0″ tire and it’s not surprising the KH24 is heavy even compared to the larger...

Bleeding Magura HS33

Bleeding Magura HS33
After an unexpected GUni crash on Reed Track the other day due to a stick getting picked up by the Duro tread and jammed against the short Magura crossover line, I had a dig around in the spare parts box and found an old length of line – a bit out of shape but good enough and most importantly longer. Bleeding...

Night GUni

Night GUni
I hadn’t dragged my kids out for a night uni photo session for ages. The 24 GUni needed a clean so we headed into the nearby forest for a night uni washing session, MUni style! Off road unicycling at night is a hoot – ‘other worldly’ is probably the best description I can think...

Cycling Bib Knicks

Cycling Bib Knicks
After many years of using standard cycling knicks, this year I decided to give bib knicks a go. They have proven to be GREAT for unicycling! Bib knicks offer greater comfort and support vs regular knicks. There is no constricting elastic around the waist. The shoulder straps prevent the knicks from sliding...

KH24 GUni with XC Bar

KH24 GUni with XC Bar
The KH 24″ GUni was missing one thing – my home grown XC handle bar. I fitted a spare handle bar I’d been holding onto today and headed down to the local recreation reserve for a test ride. The reserve is handy as it has a good mix of terrain and is close to home. I really like the...

Milled Moment Cranks

Milled Moment Cranks
KH Moment cranks are bombproof for sure, but that probably also means they are overbuilt (and overweight) for many riders and/or riding situations. Especially with longer Moments you begin to feel the weight of each crank as they spin around. With the crank problems I had with my earlier geared hub I...

36er Gone Tubeless

36er Gone Tubeless
At ~4kg the 36′er wheel is one big old flywheel. Feels great when it’s spinning, but it’s the sort of thing that encourages you to mess around usually looking for ways to loose weight towards the outside of the wheel as well as improving ride. Loosing weight is often done by fitting...
