My Schlumpf hub arrived today! It’s a 2 speed unicycle hub with 1:1 and 1:1.5 gearing. 1:1.5 for example turns a 29″ uni into a virtual 43″ – crazy stuff! After a lot of indecision I’ve decided my first GUNI (Geared Unicycle) will be a 29″, primarily...

The word amongst 36″ distance unicyclists is that the Wellgo MG-1′s are a cool set of pedals – light with loads of grip. Prior to the 6 hour Cyclic Navigator event I found myself in a position of needing a set of pedals for the 36″ and decided I might as well give the...

The KH Brake Bracket is a cool little gizmo that bolts to the four front bumper bolts, providing a great location to mount brake levers – so braking can be done with one or two fingers while holding the front bumper. The KH36 comes with a brake bracket. Note the nuts without the flange...

6 Hours of your own Amazing Race! I’ve been looking forward to the Cyclic Navigator, a 6 hour MTB Orienteering style event where the aim is to reach as many control points hidden in the forest as you can within the time available, all the while riding the route of your choice....

The Wombat Forest is so large and used by so many people (and animals) there’s no shortage of single tracks – the trick is finding them! I rode through a section of forest I often ride the other day, but in the opposite direction and for the first time noticed entry points to a...

I’ve been loving cruising the tracks and trails in the Wombat State Forest on my KH36 – the speed and smooth rolling of the big wheel is a blast off road. It’s amazing the off road terrain you can cover with 125 cranks – I guess the lack of control is offset by the...

Had just added a little air to the tire on the 29″ and was getting ready for today’s ride, when BANG! the tube burst, scaring the crap out of me! Tubes can sometimes pop if the unicycle is left out in the sun. This was inside, in my...

One of my favorite rides lately is what I call the Swaby Lane loop. It’s great fun on either the 29″ or 36″ wheel, includes a mix of dirt road, fire trails and single track, and can range from a 1 hour ride to as long as you’d like. Down by Swaby Lane the Department of...

Our younger dog is a regular muni groupie! Before I even mention I’m going for a ride in the forest she is ready and waiting beside the unicycle. Lulu (aka Uni Bitch) is good company on rides up to 20km, longer than that starts getting tough for her. She knows to stay out of the way of...
