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...

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...

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...

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,...

I copped a lot of flak from fellow MTB riders when I started using the original Camelbak in the early 1990’s.  I drink a lot while riding – no water, me engine no go – and though the original Camelbak was a fairly lame looking thing it was a hands free hydration godsend and the start...

There are several natural enemies of the unicyclist. Loose shoe laces are one of them.  Even though I double knot the thick laces on my 5.10’s every now and then they come undone during a ride, not good! I’ve had pair of Yankz! laces in the cupboard for a few months and decided it was time...

Over 6 months of wear and tear the Kris Holm Gloves continue to do the job! I wear a helmet or pads every now and then depending on the adventure but the gloves are on for EVERY ride regardless – without the gloves riding the uni doesn’t feel right. The additional length has saved my hands...

I’ve had my Sam Hill 5.10’s since mid July 2008 and absolutely love them! They are a cool looking shoe but most importantly the grip of the 5.10 ‘Stealth’ sole on steel pedal pins is legendary. The sole is nice and stiff, and the shoe is relatively wide making for an excellent...
