Trailer Track

Another favorite ride of mine is the Trailer Track Loop – a fun mix of dirt road, fire trails, bush and single track, climbs and descents in the Wombat Forest, Victoria Australia. The highlight is the descent down to the Loddon River on the Trailer Track which drops down through the bush to the river, […]

Fitting Magura Braided Stainless Steel Lines

Like a lot of things related to unicycling, the hardest part of messing with Magura brakes is the decision to finally give it a go. Cutting, fitting and bleeding hydraulic brakes is really no big deal – a jump mount on a 36 is far more scarey!

5.10 Sam Hill Shoes

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.

Mount Tarrengower Revisited

Crank Problems in GUNI Land

Castlemaine – Maldon Rail Trail

Had a fun ride today, and my first riding with another unicyclist. I met up with Matt at the Castlemaine Railway Station in the morning and we headed out to Maldon on the back roads, via Muckleford and Walmer. After a coffee in Maldon we headed up Mt Tarrengower. Matt made it to the top, […]

Thoughts on Gear Shifting

Only my second day out on the GUNI but it’s going well. Some things I’ve noticed with gear changing:

KH29 GUNI

With the frame compatibility problems sorted out it was finally time to assemble the KH29 GUNI!
