Topeak DeFender M2 Mudguard
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 help keep the […]

Winter Steps Challenge
The KH24″ ride last week got me all hot and sweaty — for more technical small wheel riding. I headed back to Twin Bridges in cold Autumn rain with my KH20″ to start working on the ‘Winter Steps Challenge’. By the end of Winter the aim is to be able to ride up and down […]
Wombat Forest Loop
After a few days of riding smaller wheels it was a hoot to get back on the 36’er GUNI and head out into the forest for an afternoon ride of ~20km including a variety of trails and ~1200 metres of climbing – enough to keep you busy.

WTB Stout 2.3 29 All Mountain Tire
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 tire. Kris […]
Twin Bridges Loop
I’ve had this thing about unicycling ‘in town’… I never have, preferring to ride in the forest near our home. Today I finally got over it and man, what a blast of an afternoon!
Speed and Cadence Revisited
Mid last year I purchased a Garmin GSC 10 Speed and Cadence sensor which I mounted for a short time on my KH 29’er. A recent thread on ‘Quantifying the effect of unicycle gearing and crank length on speed‘ inspired me to fit the GSC 10 to my KH36 GUNI to learn more about my […]
