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...

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...

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 wet, cold weather over the last week or two got me thinking about mudguards — specifically a light, detachable, adjustable mudguard that would work well off road on both the 29″ and 36″ uni’s. A mudguard could come in handy especially on longer XC rides in the rain, not just to...

The Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4 has been a great summer tire.  Fast and light, a perfect match for the 29′er and Wombat Forest trails. With wetter late Autumn/Winter weather setting in and my Rampage 2.35 from last Winter missing in action on my  29′er loaner uni, it was time to try a new...

At the end of last winter I changed tires on the KH29 from the Panaracer Rampage 2.35 – which had been an excellent winter/wet weather tire – to the Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4. With its much tighter tread I hoped it would suit the dry summer conditions. As Autumn now heads towards the next...

The best bang for buck upgrade for a 36″ unicycle is to replace the heavy 36″ tube with a 29″ tube. The reduction in weight makes a significant difference in the energy required to accelerate and slow down the wheel. You will definitely notice the difference! Fitting a 29″ tube...

It turned out to be too hot in the middle of the day for a ride, so with a craft knife in hand I decided it was time to starting working on converting my 36 Nightrider into a knobby tire. Why? No reason especially! Almost all of my riding is off road and even though I’d been riding the tire since...

I love my KH29′er, well… except for the Kenda Klaw*! 2007 KH 29’s shipped with the Kenda Klaw which is an ok tire for light off road and hybrid use but isn’t confidence inspiring for anything else off road – it feels like an overly narrow tire. In June I started to look...
